Midjourney: Latest Developments and Applications in AI Image Generation

Recently, Midjourney, an AI-based image generation tool, has seen new developments. In May 2024, Midjourney released its latest model version 5.1, introducing a feature known as “RAW mode” for image generation. This mode aims to reduce subjective coloration during image creation, aligning more closely with user input prompts. RAW mode is activated by appending --style raw at the end of input prompts, enabling Midjourney to more directly reflect the original intent of users in image processing.

Moreover, Midjourney is not merely a tool for rapid prototyping by artists but has also found adoption across various industries including advertising and architectural design. It aids users in quickly generating creative content, thereby offering effective visual support in the early stages of commercial advertising and project design. Some designers utilize Midjourney to create mood boards, providing an intuitive concept showcase in the initial phases of their projects.
