Celebrate the Holidays with Midjourney V6:

The Gift of Advanced AI Imagery

Hello everyone, Nick Harborne here with some festive news! Just in time for the holiday season, Midjourney brings us the gift of their most anticipated version yet: Midjourney V6. This new release is like unwrapping a present filled with creativity and innovation, offering an unparalleled blend of realism and artistic flair in AI-generated imagery.


A Holiday Miracle in AI Artistry

Midjourney V6 stands out with its shockingly realistic photos and enhanced attention to detail. It's like finding the perfect blend of the real and the magical in your holiday decorations – both realistic and fantastical.


What's New in Midjourney V6:

  • Enhanced Prompt Following: V6 allows for longer, more detailed prompts, resulting in more accurate image generation. You will see my results in the following images that compare v5 to v6.
  • Improved Coherence and Knowledge: The model now shows improved coherence in images and a deeper understanding of the content. If you can describe it, it will understand.
  • Advanced Image Prompting and Remix: This upgrade offers improved capabilities in image prompting and remixing. A great way to enhance your already amazing photo further.
  • Text Drawing Ability: Users can now include text in their images, using quotations and specific styles for better results. Example: I have added neon "GUCCI" lights in the background of my photos. 
  • Improved Upscalers: The new upscalers feature 'subtle' and 'creative' modes, enhancing the image resolution effectively. These are still a work in progress but highly define the areas that are awkward.

Incorporating Text and Logos with Midjourney V6: The Coca-Cola Example

One of the most exciting features of Midjourney V6 is its enhanced ability to incorporate text and logos into images. For instance, creating a holiday-themed image with the Coca-Cola logo showcases how this version has improved in embedding recognizable elements into AI-generated art. While the technology is impressive, it's not without its imperfections. Yet, the difference from the previous version 5 is stark, providing a more refined and integrated appearance of text and logos. This advancement opens new avenues for creating branded content and thematic imagery that resonates with the festive spirit.


New Prompting Methods:

Midjourney V6 requires a fresh approach to prompting. The old tricks no longer yield the same results. Users need to re-learn how to prompt effectively:

  • Be Explicit: Clear, specific prompts are key. Avoid filler words and be direct about what you want.
  • Use of Style Raw: For more photographic and literal results, the use of "--style raw" is recommended.
  • Stylize Values: Adjusting the "--stylize" values can impact prompt understanding and aesthetics.


My Prompt for the above image:

Photo Realistic editorial fashion photography, full body shot of female GUCCI model, with Christmas inspired accents, "GG" gucci logo on her santa hat, gucci monogram print, vibrant red and green gradient background, Santa inspired white furry fashion, red and white foliage, contrasting shadows and reflections, night time christmas downtown street background, "GUCCI" written in neon lights in the background --ar 16:9 --s 250 --v 6.0 --style raw

Embracing the Change: Get weird! Get FUCKING CREATIVE!

This significant update invites us to explore and master new ways of interacting with the AI. It's a challenge, but also an opportunity to push our creative boundaries and discover the full potential of this advanced tool.


Midjourney V6 is not just an update; it's a leap into a new era of AI-driven creativity. As we head into this exciting frontier, let's explore, experiment, and share our findings in the ever-evolving world of AI artistry.


Stay tuned for more discoveries and insights as we navigate the remarkable capabilities of Midjourney V6.
