Midjourney v5.2 experience report: Feel the AI magic of the "Zoom Out" function
Midjourney, a well-known tool in the field of AI painting, once again brought surprises to users. After launching version 5.1 last month, Midjourney quickly rolled out version 5.2. This update includes improved aesthetics, improved coherence generation, enhanced text understanding, and added prompt word analysis, high-variation mode, and high-resolution mode. Among them, the most eye-catching is the new "Zoom out" function, which can zoom out the screen by 1.5 times, 2 times and custom zoom, and fill in all side details to achieve image reconstruction.

The Magic of the “Zoom Out” Feature
The "Zoom Out" function is a highlight of Midjourney version 5.2. This feature is similar to Adobe's generative fill tool, which allows users to expand the original image and expand it to a larger area, while preserving the original image details. In this version, Midjourney provides three zoom options, which are 1.5x, 2x, and custom zoom between "1.0 and 2.0". As shown in the figure below, the left picture is the original image, and the right picture is the 2x zoomed image.

User's innovative application
The magic of the "Zoom Out" function is that it not only enlarges the image, but also creates new visual effects. Many users have tried this feature and shared their generated images. Some users even used the "Zoom Out" function to make short videos, and the effect was very shocking.

other new features
In addition to the "Zoom Out" function, Midjourney version 5.2 also adds a "Make Square" function, which can turn a 16:9 rectangular image into a square image.

In addition, there is also a Variation Mode function, which allows users to adjust the subtle visual differences of the output image, with two optional high/low variation modes.

In addition, the "shorten command" function allows users to analyze the prompt words to understand which words have the greatest impact on the output image.

Finally, the stylize command function allows users to set stylization parameters at the end of the prompt word, and the supported range is 0-1000.

In general, the update of Midjourney 5.2 provides users with more creative tools and possibilities, making AI painting richer and more interesting.
