Since it went into open beta in July 2022, MidJourney has very quickly improved the clarity and accuracy of its generated images with each new release.
This release coincides with rivals such as OpenAI’s text-generating DALL-E 3 putting increasing pressure on MidJourney. Similarly, Meta’s free tools and services like Leonardo are offering users more and more control over photo creation.
How has MidJourney v6 changed?
Longer prompts, more precise control over color and shading, text and the option to customize output through a dialog with MidJourney, much like ChatGPT does for DALL-E images, are all features of the latest version of MidJourney.
This version has been worked on for some time; to improve the overall quality, certain groups of subscribers have previously tested and compared results.
The way the system analyzes and understands requests is one of the most notable improvements. For example, it can now distinguish between similar prompts by using subtleties in sentence structure and punctuation.

Where is MidJourney v6 available?
Via Discord
Version six of MidJourney is accessible via Discord, as are all other versions. You can use the bot in chats to /imagine the creation of your choice after paying for your membership.
Specify version six as the default model in the options or add -v 6 at the end of each prompt to access it. This ensures that the correct model is used, while still allowing version 5.2 to be used by default.
With the introduction of version 6, the beloved AI image generation tool MidJourney now offers longer prompts, more detailed options and the ability to add text to images.
Via the website
People who have created more than 10,000 images now have access to a website version of MidJourney. This means that rather than relying on the AI model understanding a single text command, you have the ability to adjust settings using multiple inputs. It simply all works a bit smoother and clearer than the Discord version.

Improved text generation: One of the key improvements of V6 is the improved ability to produce text in images. For users who want to include certain text components in their AI-generated images, this capability is very important. A technique for adding text components in a more natural and user-friendly way is suggested by the use of quotes to support text production.
More user control: It seems that there is now more control over how created photos will look. This is an important feature because it allows you to customize the work to suit your own needs or ideas. This feature clearly seems to improve with each update. And it is certainly needed.

New features: This includes a variety of creative thoughts and techniques, ranging from more abstract works to realistic renderings.
