Midjourneypopular AI image generator More than 19 million users (including a few of us at VentureBeat), introduced new features to improve user customization.

Today, the small company launched Pinterest-inspired "Moodboards" and support for multiple personalization profiles, meaning users can now create and swap multiple custom versions. Midjourney is the latest image generator AI model, version 6.1tailored to their unique aesthetic.

The updates are aimed at streamlining the creative process for individuals and teams, making it easier to integrate personalized styles across different projects.

What are Midjourney's new mood boards?

The Moodboards feature allows users to upload curated collections of images that inspire them to create new art.

The AI ​​model adapts to the variety and complexity of uploaded images and creates a unique style profile that remixes visual elements.

This addition is complemented by the ability to create multiple personalization profiles, allowing users to seamlessly organize and promote their various styles.

Setting up a custom model is also much faster, with the company claiming a five-fold improvement in image rating speed.

The "Rating" system is how Midjourney trains the user model on behalf of the user. You have to go to Midjourney's image rating, randomly pick which one you like best, and then continue to rate pairs of images until you reach a certain point where the model understands what types of images and aesthetics you like.

Now users only need 40 ratings to start creating a profile, the optimal stability has reached 200. It used to cost 200 to customize a model.

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

Users can start rating pairs of images from below midjourney.com/personalize.

Better organization features

The updates also introduce organizational improvements.

Users can now name their profiles, set one or more profiles as default, and track all photos associated with specific profiles.

MidJourney emphasizes that these features are especially useful for those juggling multiple projects or collaborating with others.

MidJourney founder David Holtz shared the announcement on the company's Discord server this morning. He explained the motivation behind the updates and wanted to make customization accessible to a wider range of creatives.

According to Holtz, the new tools allow users to maintain control over their projects while maintaining the flexibility to work with diverse creative teams.

As MidJourney continues to improve its personalization infrastructure, the company is soliciting user feedback through its "ideas and features" channel. These developments mark another step in the evolution of AI-assisted creativity, demonstrating the platform's commitment to empowering creators with intuitive and powerful tools.

The additions come as expected after Midjourney announced an experimental new collaborative image-making feature called whiteboards last week. Patchwork.
