CTOnews.com May 4 news, AI mapping tool Midjourney recently released the latest version 5.1, claiming to bring users higher quality, more personalized AI works of art.

Midjourney is a company that provides generative AI art services. Users only need to type some words or pictures on Discord to allow AI to create unique works of art according to their own preferences and styles. After several upgrades, the Midjourney engine has reached version 5.1, which, according to officials, is more "assertive" and can produce a closer effect to version 4.0, but of higher quality. In addition, there is a "primitive" mode for users who do not want too much personalization. Other improvements include improved accuracy, reduced unwanted borders in the image, reduced text distortion, and enhanced sharpness.

In order to verify the performance of Midjourney 5.1, foreign media forbes used the same text prompt words to generate four pictures in version 5.0 and 5.1, respectively, and compared them. All other settings remain the same, and Midjourney is set to basic quality and medium style. CTOnews.com Note: of all the pictures below, four on the left are the results of Midjourney 5.0, and four on the right are the results of 5.1.

The first cue is "the woman walks on the cobblestone street toward the sunset":

As you can see, a long-standing problem in Midjourney 5.0is the overly intense and unnatural lens halo effect, which has been resolved in version 5.1. Sunsets look more natural in version 5.1, and the sky is warmer and more interesting.

The second cue is "paint factory explosion, vector art":

Similarly, the 5.1 version of the picture is better than the 5.0 version, the color is better, and the composition is more dynamic.

Face is one of Midjourney's strengths, and the prompt for the next picture is "a close-up of a child wearing goggles":

This time it shows that version 5.1 of Midjourney is more "independent". The pictures in version 5.0 are very common, like snapshots of children wearing glasses on their smartphones. The image on the right in version 5.1 is more artistic, as if taken by a professional photographer.

Finally, foreign media tested whether version 5.1 really reduced the problem of text distortion, with the following prompts: "people selling newspapers on street corners, 1950s style, brown":

First of all, both versions misunderstand the prompts and generate a salesman with a newspaper rather than a newspaper seller, but this can be improved by changing the prompts. There is text in the background of both groups of pictures, but there is not much difference between the two. The text in both groups of pictures is OK from a distance, but when you zoom in, you will find that most of them are meaningless words. In version 5.1, the picture composition is stronger, and the theme takes up more picture space.

The latest version of Midjourney 5.1 is currently under testing, and users of Midjourney can use version 5.1 by default by entering the / settings command on Discord. The company plans to use Midjourney 5.1 as the default mode by the end of the week.
