What is Midjourney?
Midjourney is a powerful text-to-image generating AI tool that can generate high-quality images with just a short description of the image provided to it. The tool offers a variety of features that are very exciting to explore. Moreover, the tool operates on Discord which has various rooms in which people create images using their prompts which you get to see in real time. This makes the process even more amazing. You can take ideas from the already floating images and prompts and produce something exciting yourselves.
Do we get what we want?
Prompts play a very important part to generate the exact image you have in your mind. If the question is are we able to generate the images that we actually want on Midjourney? The answer is simple ‘Yes’! You will get satisfactory results once you provide a descriptive prompt. The images generated, are incredibly detailed, with intricate patterns and textures that add depth and dimension. You can play around with the tool and generate some cool images and see the already-generated images by other people on the server.
Here is an example of an image generated from the tool. Prompt: “A giant fire-breathing dragon flying in a cloudy sky, slightly raining, shot from below.”
And here is the resulting image:
What about the Image Quality?
Midjourney does not compromise in quality even when generating highly detailed images. We were surprised to see the quality of images generated by the tool. The quality of the images can be controlled by the feature provided by Midjourney. There are options for creating very high-quality images on the tool, but it costs double the price of standard images. There are some other features that you can explore and here is a snapshot of the same.
Comparing the quality of the images with the other tools, Midjourney performed way better. Here are some more examples of images that we generated using the tool.
Prompt: “A beautiful redhead woman, freckles on her cheeks, standing in a park, wearing a white t-shirt and posing for a photo shoot.”
And this is the result we got:
Here is one more.
Prompt: “ A cheetah in wild lush green fields, running with a full leap, hunting its prey in broad daylight.”
The result:
There is no question about quality but we will let you be the judge.
Fascinating Art styles that we can generate with this tool
If you are an art lover, then this tool will not disappoint you. You might have heard of various art styles like anime, vaporwave, negative space, pop art, cyberpunk, etc., and the fun part is that you can generate images in these styles as well. You can play around and generate images in different styles and you will find some mindblowing results whether it be a realistic image or a cyberpunk style image or any style for that matter.
We tried to generate an image of A cheetah in the cyberpunk style running with a full leap and this is the result we got.
Let’s try John Wick eating his cereal on a dining table in bright light, cartoon style.
You can see some amazing images that the tool can generate and we can guarantee you that it is more fun when you try it yourself.
Text in the images
Like the other AI image-generating tools, Midjourney also fails to output the text entered in the prompt even when it is clearly defined. You will get satisfactory results for the rest of the prompt but not in the context of the text, which makes sense, as this tool specializes in image generation, not text generation.
We tried to experiment with the text in an image and these are the results we got.
Prompt: “ A sad gorilla in a steel cage holding a steel bar in one hand and a white flag in the other that says “I WANT TO GO HOME” “.
Result:
You can see that the image generated is mindblowing but it fails in the text part.
Can we generate images of famous personalities?
Now that we have seen what this tool is capable of doing. But is this tool able to do some things that other tools can’t do? Like generating the image of a famous personality. Then the answer is yes to some extent! You can generate images of any well-known personality which look almost identical to them but may not look exactly the same.
Here is ‘A hyperrealistic image of Ed Sheeran’.
The parameters of Midjourney
This is not all that this tool offers. There are some more parameters that Midjourney offers like changing the aspect ratio of the image, quality of the image, blurriness in the image, and many more. You can learn more about the parameter of Midjourney in the second part of this post which is live now.
The UI/UX
The interface of Midjourney can be a bit tricky for new users. You have to go to the Midjourney website and then use the Discord server, write a command to generate images, and then write your prompt, but before that, you have to make an account on Discord. It may take some time for inexperienced users to get used to the interface but it is worth the wait and effort
Speed
The speed of image generation is impressively good. While there are hundreds of users on a server generating the images, it does not affect the speed of generation of your image and you can generate your image within a minute. You can also upgrade your plan which can increase the number of hours you will get the fast GPU time per month.
Subscription
The subscription to this tool comes at various rates depending on the plans. While there is a chance you can use it for free, you can get a message that says you have to upgrade your plan as they cannot provide services to free users as there the server is overloading, which makes sense considering the popularity of the tool. The price of the basic plan, however, is affordable and you can get yourself a good deal at $10 a month.
Conclusion
Text-to-image generation is a very hot topic and there are a lot of tools that are already on the market. We have all heard the saying that ‘There is always room for improvement’ and so is the case with this technology. Midjourney has proven to be the most impressive tool we have explored so far. We have already seen the quality of the image generated and the effectiveness of the tool. We suggest you try the tool and use creativity.
