External Image Editor

Hi everyone, today we’re testing our new external image editor, image retexturing, and next-gen AI moderation systems.

The image editor lets you upload images from your computer and then expand, crop, repaint, add, or modify things in the scene.

We’re also releasing an ‘image retexturing mode’ that estimates the shape of the scene and then ‘retextures it’ so that all of the lighting, materials, and surfaces are different.

All image editing actions can be controlled via text prompting and region selection. The editor is compatible with model personalization, style references, character references, and image prompting.

Along with these features, we’re testing a more nuanced and intelligent V2 AI moderator. This moderator holistically examines your prompts, images, painting masks, and output images. We think this may be the most intelligent AI moderator ever, and we hope some aspects of it make it out to our regular generation pipelines in the future so we can reduce false positives and give people more freedom than ever.

All of these things are very new, and we want to give the community and human moderation staff time to ease into it gently, so for this first release phase, we’re opening up these features to the following community groups:

• People who have generated at least 10,000 images
• People with yearly memberships
• People who have been monthly subscribers for the past 12 months (we tried to be more nuanced, but it’s complicated with the database, sorry!)

Known issues:

• If you ask something either extremely out of place or you ask for a tiny region to be changed, it might not give you what you ask
• Also if you put a tiny head in a scene and ask it to outpaint the body may be too big (so make the head bigger)

We hope you have fun testing these systems and watching the magic of Midjourney spill out into the world. We hope it inspires you to bring beauty to your surroundings, whether it’s remodeling your living room or imagining new kinds of fashion based on your personalized model and styles you love.

We're so excited to see what you create!
