Midjourney Release Notes

Hi everyone, we've got a couple of small announcements today:

1) We've got a new personalization interface on web

• This lets you make personalization profiles by clicking and scrolling through a list of images.
• This should be both faster, more accurate, and more fun
• This lets you also avoid you feeling anxious about 1v1 image comparisons (as before)
• We highly recommend everyone try personalizing Midjourney if you haven't already in the past!
• Go to midjourney.com/personalize to create a new personalization profile or continue building a personalization you started previously

2) We've added Personalization and Moodboards to niji 7 (our anime image model)

3) We're sunsetting rooms on web as we work on our next-generation social features.

• This should noticeably increase the general speed and performance across the entire web experience.
• We recommend people move to Discord for community events and live-chat.

Today we are removing the Rooms feature from the website.

Rooms was an experiment that taught us a lot about what our community needs and where our current infrastructure falls short. It tried to solve too many things at once, and didn't do any of it well enough. Rather than continue patching something that wasn't built to scale, we're making space to build these experiences properly.

We know this leaves some gaps, mainly around live support for our web users and a place for live events or collaboration. We’re actively working on filling those gaps with products focused on each use case. We'll share updates when we have them.

Moving forward, if you need support, you can:

• Visit our help page for immediate assistance
• Join #support on Discord for live help
• Email [email protected]

Thank you to everyone who shared something inside Rooms. We’ll bring them back in a better form.

Hi everyone! We're putting the finishing touches on V8 and need your help!
Please visit midjourney.com/rank-v8 and help us rate images.
This rating party is focused on prompts that ask to generate text. We're going to do rankings on these for 1 day to see if we can tune the typography and text performance of V8 before release.

Directions

• You’ll be shown two images at a time
• Select the one that you think is more beautiful (based on your own personal aesthetic taste)
• On a computer you can use the 1 and 2 keys to select images (1 is left, 2 is right)
• If you're not sure which is better, press "skip" (or the "3" key)
• These images are using random community prompts. If you see something NSFW press "Report Image" (Sorry!)

Please Note

• These images are NOT representative of the new model we will release soon
• These images are meant to be plain/boring/unopinionated and even bad to help our system learn what new things community wants
• If you're worried about quality of the images please don't! Images are always embarrassing when we do early rating parties. Getting everyone's help labeling 'junk' is a very important part of our process
• These ratings are very serious please try your best to provide us with good data.

Thank you so much for your help! We can't wait to share V8 with you soon! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

We have made the following improvements and bug fixes:

• New aspect ratios: added 6:11, 4:5, 5:4, and 21:9 options to the ar slider
• Automatically strip irrelevant parameters (--cw/--ow) when cref/oref not present
• Automatically remove weird parameter from moodboard jobs, because it is not supported
• Improved drag and drop support for images into folders
• Updated the batch operations (download, like, trash, publish, and folder logic) to support 2000 items at a time
• Fixed folders not opening in lightbox view
• Fixed tablet UI layout issues
• Improved layout for mobile and tablets with long prompts
• Improved scroll anchoring and grid performance
• Addressed crashes caused by Google Translate browser extension

Release notes

Along with the Profiles launch today, we’ve updated the names of a few features to better match their functionality:

• The “Hide” filter has changed to “Trash”. Now, when you trash a creation, it won’t be visible on your “Create” or “Organize” pages, and it also won’t show up in the “Archive” tab of your profile. You can find your trashed creations in the “In Trash” filter on your Organize page. Others might still find them on the Explore page, in ranking, or see them if they have the job ID or creation URL. For more information, see our documentation about trash here!
• For Stealth users: What we previously called “Publish” and “Unpublish” is now called “Public” and “Private”.

We’ve also been improving our mobile experience over the last few weeks:

• Redesigned the image tray for image prompts
• Fixed view for create page with many parameters
• Lightbox swipe dismissal action
• Animate manually button bumps you back to prompt bar
• The mobile editor doesn’t glitch
• Organize page filters are scrollable

We’re launching user profiles today

This gives you each an area on Midjourney where you can show off your images to others around the community.

Profile features

• You can customize your profile with a custom username, profile image, banner, short bio, and links to your socials
• You can spotlight your favorite images to curate what other people see
• You can follow other people (your followers are private and visible only to you)
• People can see your profile when they click your name on Explore or use your sharable profile link
