Midjourney has recently rolled out significant updates, introducing a new external image editor and an image re-texturing mode, further enhancing the flexibility and precision of image creation.

The external image editor brings unprecedented creative freedom to users. Users can directly modify generated images on the Midjourney platform without the need for other editing software. By uploading images, users can freely expand or crop the canvas, adding more scenes or elements to their work.

The editor also supports fine-grained area selection and modification, such as altering facial expressions, replacing backgrounds, etc., making the creative process more precise and efficient. This feature seamlessly integrates with Midjourney's personalized models, style references, character prompts, and more, providing a one-stop creative experience for users.

The image re-texturing mode focuses on enhancing image details and texture. This mode uses AI technology to automatically identify scene shapes and redefine lighting, materials, and surfaces.

AI can intelligently optimize the angle, intensity, and color temperature of light, making the image more layered and three-dimensional. At the same time, whether it's metal, glass, or wood, AI can redraw and optimize the texture, making it more realistic and vivid. Users do not need to manually adjust to obtain high-quality image works.

Midjourney has also introduced a smarter V2AI audit system, which comprehensively checks prompt input, image generation, painting masks, and output images to ensure content safety and compliance.

The V2AI audit system can analyze user input prompts in real time and provide feedback, preventing the generation of inappropriate content. Users can also set different filtering levels according to their personal needs, adjusting the strictness of AI auditing.
