Midjourney v6.1 delivers photorealistic output, accurate human anatomy, and coherent text rendering that v5 couldn't touch. The web interface eliminated the Discord requirement, finally giving users a real UI with image history, style controls, and inpainting. Style Reference and Character Reference let teams maintain visual consistency across projects. V7 adds video generation and 3D capabilities. The aesthetic benchmark every other image model is measured against.

Tome generates entire presentations from prompts using AI. Good for first drafts and brainstorming but outputs can feel generic without significant editing.
Reviewer scorecard
“v6.1 is the first AI image model I trust for client deliverables. Photorealism is indistinguishable from photography for product shots. The web UI finally makes iteration fast — no more Discord thread archaeology. Character Reference for maintaining consistent people across a shoot is a game-changer.”
“The AI outputs are a starting point at best. You'll spend as much time editing as you would creating from scratch in Figma.”
“Dropping Discord was overdue and the web app is genuinely good now. The quality gap vs DALL-E and Stable Diffusion for artistic imagery remains large. Still no free tier, and the subscription-only model limits experimentation. But for what it does, nothing else comes close.”
“V7's video generation puts Midjourney in direct competition with Runway and Sora. They're not building an image generator — they're building the visual creative platform. The style moat they've built over 3 years is their real competitive advantage.”
“Early innings for AI presentations. The generation quality will improve dramatically and Tome is well-positioned.”
“AI-generated slides look AI-generated. Fine for internal brainstorming but not for client or investor presentations.”
