[Midjourney V7] Too easy... The one-click AI image editing feature is god-tier. Plus, update info & image generation AI prompt summary.

Midjourney V7's Edit feature has evolved even further. With the newly introduced Smart Select and layer features, anyone can now easily
edit, composite, or retexture any image with a single click!

You can also combine images taken on your smartphone with images generated by Midjourney. Isn't this going to be an invincible tool for the branding industry and e-commerce operations...!?

ChatGPT and other AI tools are also releasing features one after another that generate new images while utilizing the original image, but it feels like the king of image generation, Midjourney, has seriously jumped into the fray!

*By the way, Midjourney's Edit feature has existed for a while. I introduced it in a past note. This time, with the V7 update, it has become even easier to use and has evolved.

A Japanese woman with a bob haircut, wearing a white dress, stands in a grass field, seen from behind. She is bathed in soft natural light under a fantastical pastel sky. The shallow depth of field places wildflowers in the foreground, the woman in the midground, and a cabin with sky in the background. --v 7

A transparent light blue glass perfume bottle is photographed from directly above, visually blending into the water. Strong natural-style lighting casts ripples and reflections on the water surface and across the glass. The color palette is dominated by refreshing aqua blue and turquoise tones. The background consists entirely of clear, rippling water. The image has a sleek, modern, and high-end atmosphere, styled like a luxury commercial shoot.

Midjourney's Edit feature is fun, isn't it?
This time, I explained image editing using 'Smart Select', which was added in the V7 update!

With the ability to manage layers, the range of editing possibilities is expanding rapidly.

Image editing is still very deep, and explaining other features would make this quite long, so...
I will introduce them again in a future note! Please look forward to it!

Midjourney V7 Update Summary (4/24)

Editing tools have evolved further

With this update, all users can now use external image editors!
The UI has also been revamped to make editing and retexturing simpler and more intuitive.

The editing method has been unified, so whether it's a Midjourney image or an external image, you can easily access it from the 'Edit' button in the sidebar or the 'Edit' button when opening an image.

Furthermore, since you can now load multiple images as layers, arranging collages and overlays has become much easier.

A smart selection feature has also been added, so you can just click on the object you want to delete.
