Release2026-09-23

Midjourney added live style previews on alpha.midjourney.com. Users can see a prompt rendered in liked and featured styles before generating. It improved inpainting and outpainting to change only selected pixels. Repeated edits no longer degrade image quality. It fixed seams between tiled images in V8.1 and V8.2. Tiles now blend invisibly.

What changed

Inpainting and outpainting edits affected surrounding pixels. Tiled images showed visible seams between tiles.

What it unlocks
