MidJourney’s moodboards allow you to make many custom AI models

Mid Journeythe popular AI image generator with more than 19 million users (including many of us at VentureBeat), introduced new features to enhance user customization.

Today, the small company launched Pinterest-inspired “Moodboards” and support for multiple customization profiles – meaning users can now create and switch between multiple custom versions. Midjourney’s latest image generator AI model, version 6.1which are suited to their unique aesthetic.

The updates aim to simplify the creation process for individuals and teams, making it easier to integrate custom styles into different projects.

What are the new Midjourney moodboards?

The standout feature, Moodboards, allows users to upload curated collections of images that serve as inspiration for generating new art.

The AI ​​model adapts to the diversity and complexity of the uploaded images, creating a unique style profile that reshuffles the visual elements.

This addition is complemented by the ability to create several customization profiles, allowing users to organize and implement their different styles seamlessly.

Creating a custom model has also become significantly faster, with the company claiming a five-fold improvement in image classification speed.

The “ranking” system is how Midjourney trains a personalized model on behalf of you, the user. You need to navigate to Midjourney’s image ranker and choose which of a pair of random images you like best, then continue ranking image pairs until you reach a certain threshold where the model understands which type of images and aesthetics you like.

Users now need only 40 qualifications to start creating a profile, with optimal stability achieved at 200. First, you need 200 to customize the model.

While heavy users may still prefer to contribute thousands of ratings for maximum accuracy, the streamlined process lowers the barrier to entry for new users.

Users can start sorting image pairs at midjourney.com/personalize.

Better organization functions

The updates also introduce organizational improvements.

Users can now name their profiles, designate one or more profiles as defaults, and track all images associated with specific profiles.

MidJourney emphasizes that these features are particularly beneficial for those who are juggling multiple projects or collaborating with others.

David Holz, founder of MidJourney, shared the announcement on the company’s Discord server earlier today. He explained the motivation behind the updates, expressing a desire to make customization accessible to a wider range of creative workflows.

Holz highlighted that the new tools allow users to take control of their projects, while maintaining the flexibility to work with different creative teams.

As MidJourney continues to refine its customization infrastructure, the company is soliciting user feedback through its “ideas-and-features” channel. These developments highlight the platform’s commitment to empowering creators with both intuitive and powerful tools, marking another step forward in the evolution of AI-assisted creativity.

The additions come as expected following Midjourney’s announcement last week of a new experimental collaboration feature called Whiteboarding. Patchwork.
