Hi folks, 👋
The wait is over — Midjourney has released V7 (alpha), and people are already creating amazing results. This special issue of Imagine Weekly covers what’s new and showcases some great examples of what’s possible.
How do you like Imagine Weekly? Is there anything I can do differently? Anything you want to see more or less of? Just shoot me an email [email protected] ✉️
📖 ✨ What’s New in V7 TL;DR;?
• Smarter text prompts and stunning image generation
• Sharper details in hands, bodies, and objects
• Built-in personalization (takes ~5 min to unlock, toggle anytime)
⚡ Introducing Draft Mode
• 10x faster, 50% cheaper
• Conversational and voice-enabled on web
• Perfect for rapid iteration — click enhance or vary to go full quality
(Note: lower image quality, but consistent aesthetics)
🚀 Modes
• Turbo = 2x cost, lightning speed
• Relax = chill and creative
(Standard speed coming soon)
🛠️ Other Updates
• Editing, upscaling & retexturing still use V6 for now

🗺️ Roadmap
New features rolling out every 1–2 weeks for the next 60 days. Big one coming: V7 character & object reference.
🔥 If you don’t have time to tinker with v7, at least checkout Draft Mode + voice.
Draft mode + voice is the killer feature of midjourney --v 7 so far
look at how fast this is. just free flow of ideas, talking to midjourney, and watching things come to life
pure magic 🪄

To wrap things up, here’s some criticism regarding V7. I haven’t spent much time with it yet, but I kind of share the same feeling. That said, we need to keep in mind it’s still an alpha version.
Hmm…
Let’s be objective when reviewing v7.
It’s a great tool for artistic exploration, but it has too many visual glitches and not the best prompt understanding
Check the prompts below.
Am I doing something wrong or ChatGPT is too good?
