What Can You Create with Midjourney V6.1?
Midjourney V6.1 is an earlier Midjourney image model focused on coherent images, fine detail, and textures. It is not the current default Midjourney version.
Coherent Detail and Texture
Midjourney describes V6.1 as improving detail, textures, and image coherence over V6. It is an earlier version, rather than the current default model.
Aesthetic Style Exploration
Text and image prompts can establish a photographic, painted, or illustrated treatment. The cat, portrait, and tiger examples use visibly different styles.

Create from a Written Brief

How to Direct Midjourney V6.1 with a Prompt
Learn from the actual instructions behind these results. Each example keeps its complete original prompt and available inputs. For a new request, replace its subject and reference assignments with your own.
Specify the Subject and Composition
Describe the subject’s visible details and its position in the image. In this case: “Use this model to generate a surreal advertising image.3:4”
Use this model to generate a surreal advertising image.3:4
Name the Local Color Change
Identify the item and its replacement color rather than requesting a complete restyle. In this case: “Keep its pointed ears and recognizable orange-and-white face, but render the fur, scarf, trees and stars as visibly cut paper with crisp edges and soft cast shadows.”
Use the fox in image 1 as the character reference. Reimagine it as a layered paper-cut storybook scene in a moonlit woodland. Keep its pointed ears and recognizable orange-and-white face, but render the fur, scarf, trees and stars as visibly cut paper with crisp edges and soft cast shadows. Place the fox on the left and a glowing lantern on the right. Vertical 3:4 composition, no words or border.
Describe the Marks or Medium
Name the visible treatment, such as the drawing marks or material, rather than relying only on a mood word. In this case: “Soft watercolor and visible ink outlines, warm daylight, vertical 3:4 composition, no words.”
Use image 1 as a reference for the person, glasses and hairstyle. Draw this person reading a book on a sunny balcony with green plants. Soft watercolor and visible ink outlines, warm daylight, vertical 3:4 composition, no words.
Place the Light and Color in the Scene
Specify the visible lighting or color arrangement as part of the composition. In this case: “1girl, anime style, intricate details, highly detailed, ultra detailed, fine details, elaborate details, vibrant and vivid colors, rich and bold color palette, high saturation, glowing highlights”
