Midjourney Unveils New Web Editor and Communication Features
As competition in the AI image generation space intensifies, Midjourney, a leader in the field, has stepped up its game with a new, updated version of its website. The updated site features a new editor interface that consolidates various existing tools, including inpainting, outpainting/canvas extension, and more, into a single view.
Unified Editor Interface
The new web editor introduces a virtual “brush”-like tool for inpainting, replacing the previous square selector and lasso tools. This new tool allows for more precision in editing parts of AI-generated images. The editor is now live and available to all users who have created at least 10 images on the platform. Users can access it by visiting midjourney.com/imagine.
User Reactions
Early reactions from users have been largely positive. As Midjourney CEO David Holz mentioned in a Discord message, “We think this makes editing your MJ images way more seamless than before and is a huge step forward.”
Enhanced Communication Features
In addition to the new web editor, Midjourney has introduced a feature that improves communication between its web and Discord communities. Messages sent in certain Web Rooms are now mirrored in corresponding Discord channels and vice versa. This integration ensures users across both platforms can stay in sync, regardless of where they choose to interact. The rooms with message mirroring include prompt-craft, general-1, and a special superuser room for those who have created more than 1,000 images.
Commitment to Innovation
The release of the new web editor and the message mirroring feature highlights Midjourney’s commitment to enhancing tools and community experiences for its users. This comes even as the company faces a class-action lawsuit from a group of artists accusing it of copyright violations.
Holz expressed gratitude for the community’s patience during the development process and encouraged users to explore the new capabilities provided by the editor. As Midjourney continues to innovate and expand its platform, users can expect more updates and features aimed at improving the overall creative process and fostering a more connected community.
