On the first anniversary of Midjourney, it has evolved from v1 to v5.2. Which version do you prefer?

On July 14th, Midjourney marks the one-year anniversary since its initial release!

Exactly one year ago on this day, Midjourney went into public beta.

And we watched it evolve from v1 to v5.2.

Today, netizens have posted "Happy Birthday Midjourney" one after another, and they have also posted the same change from V1 to V5.2.

Same, what is the difference between V1 and V5.2

Youtube big V Tunichi Nikumura entered the same "a girl" and recorded the evolution history of drawing from v1 to v5.2.

**v1 is more artistic, v5 is more realistic? **

Previously, there were netizens on the Internet who compared the same.

This netizen's comparison test is also absolutely amazing.

The horse in the v1 version is simply a strange shape, and the horse in v5 is already like a real horse.

But what is interesting is that in the message area, netizens have expressed their appreciation for v1's works, thinking that it is full of a kind of "deep and interesting".

Input a simple "cat", and v1 outputs a slightly weird picture, while v5 is already a real cat under natural light, with fine hair and whiskers.

Input "pilot cat driving the Red Baron", the output from v1 to v4 is as follows.

The output at v1, the screen ratio is still extremely discordant, whether it is a cat or an airplane, it is very strange.

In the v4 version, the pilot cat has become majestic, with extremely realistic texture, but it is a pity that the Red Baron aircraft has not been drawn.

Output "Portrait of a dog in the library, Sigma 85mm f/1.4".

The pictures output by v1 are full of errors, and I can't bear to look directly at them.

Compared with v1, the output of v2 can only be said to have improved slightly.

But when it comes to v4, the output is more than 100 times higher in an instant. Whether it is the background of the bookshelves in the library, or the appearance and demeanor of the dog, the light and shadow effects are superb, which can be called movie quality.

There seems to be a fair amount of opinion that v1's graphics, while more original, are also funnier and more humorous.

If you can get a picture with the artistry of v1 and the quality of v5 at the same time, it will be perfect. The question is how can this be done, by blending or description?

Of course, some netizens pointed out, don’t forget, V1 is free, and V5 costs $60 a month.
