Midjourney improves edit model, adds live style previews and tile fixes on the eve of V8.1
Midjourney
A Sep 24 updates post rolls out four changes: fast models being tested in the alpha interface, a Styles sidebar with live thumbnail previews of the current prompt, significantly improved inpainting/outpainting that now touches only selected pixels (allowing repeated edits without quality loss), and seamless --tile blending for V8.1/8.2.
Why it matters
Targeted pixel-level iterative editing closes a persistent quality gap with image editors like Canva/Adobe Firefly and pushes Midjourney's web app beyond a pure prompt-to-image flow.
