Midjourney 5.2 Update - Effectively Utilize New Features

The Midjourney 5.2 Update brings exciting new features that allow you to edit images even more precisely. In this tutorial, I will show you how to change specific areas of an image without affecting the rest. In Version 5.2 of Midjourney, there are two exciting features that can revolutionize working with AI-generated images. These features allow you to change specific areas of an image without affecting the other elements and at the same time adding more pixels in certain directions. In this guide, I want to show you step by step how you can best utilize these new capabilities.

Key Takeaways

• The ability to change specific regions within an image without affecting other areas.
• The ability to expand pixels in a specific direction to create more space for content.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Select Image and Zoom

Start by selecting an image you want to edit. You can use any image you have created in Midjourney. Choose the image by double-clicking to open the editing options. In this step, you can decide whether you want to zoom in or out of the image.

2. Select Region

To change a specific area of your image, you need to activate the selection mode first. There are various selection tools for this: a selection rectangle or the lasso tool. Use the tool you prefer to define the region precisely that you want to change.

3. Make Changes

Once you have selected the area, you can make the desired changes. Let's say you want to add some tomatoes. Simply enter the desired content in the text field and press Enter or the corresponding button to initiate the changes.

4. Check the Result

It may take a few seconds for the new image to be created. During this time, you may see a progress bar. Once the image is created, it will be displayed to you. Check if the changes have been executed as desired.

5. Make Further Adjustments

If you are not completely satisfied with the result, you can check different variations of the image. Here you can choose between different alternatives and make further adjustments if necessary.

6. Change Background

If, for example, you have a person in the image and want to change the background, click on the desired area. Select the background and specify that you want to change it to a winter landscape, for example. Make sure the person is carefully selected so they remain unchanged.

7. Adjust Region Precisely

It may happen that you accidentally select a part of the image while selecting the region. Use the undo button to correct the last step. Then you can readjust the selection and make the desired changes.

8. Pixel Extension

To create more space for text or other content, you can extend the pixels of the image in a specific direction. Simply select the right button and specify that you need more pixels to the right. This allows you to adjust the image according to your needs.

9. Adjust settings

Go to settings to check which version you are working with. The user interface has improved, making it easier for you to navigate between different versions now. This is particularly important to ensure you can make the most of the latest features.

10. Customize details

Once you have adjusted your pixels, check the result. You should see that the image crop has grown not only in width but also in height. Make sure the image meets your expectations and that the quality has been maintained.

Summary

In this tutorial, you have learned how to change specific areas of an image and adjust the image size in a particular direction using the new features of Midjourney 5.2. These features offer you many new possibilities for creatively editing your images.
