  • How does the shortened command function in Midjourney 5.2?

    -The shortened command analyzes the prompt and suggests ways to make it shorter by removing less effective words, thus improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the prompt.

  • What is the zoom out function in Midjourney 5.2 and how does it affect the image?

    -The zoom out function allows users to zoom in or out of an image and change its aspect ratio. However, it does not add resolution to the image; instead, it shrinks the original image into the center, potentially losing detail in the zoomed-out area.

  • How does the image resolution change, if at all, from previous versions to Midjourney 5.2?

    -There is no change in image resolution with Midjourney 5.2 compared to previous versions. The square images remain around 1024 by 1024 pixels, and the resolution can vary depending on the aspect ratio.

  • What improvements are seen in the depiction of human faces in Midjourney 5.2?

    -Midjourney 5.2 provides more realistic human faces with fewer weird details that might catch the eye. It offers an improvement over previous versions in terms of photorealism and detail.

  • How does Midjourney 5.2 handle abstract prompts compared to earlier versions?

    -Midjourney 5.2 seems to handle abstract prompts better, providing cleaner and more pleasing images. It has improved in giving a feeling of warmth and happiness, and can create more complex images like VHS glitch art.

  • What kind of results can be expected when testing Midjourney 5.2 with different ideas and prompts?

    -Testing Midjourney 5.2 with different ideas and prompts can yield sharper, cleaner, and more varied images. The version is capable of creating images with more personality and a greater sense of photorealism.

  • How does the new Midjourney 5.2 version compare to version 4 in terms of artistic output?

    -Version 5.2 offers more variety, sharpness, and photorealism compared to version 4. It also provides more detailed and artistic outputs, with a greater sense of personality in the images created.
