Midjourney’s web editor now lets you edit your AI-generated images

Midjourney, the popular AI-powered image generation tool, recently added a new feature that allows users to edit generated images. The new Web Editor feature brings inline editing capabilities to the AI ​​tool, allowing users to make detailed changes to images. The image editor comes with multiple new tools that can be used to make various changes such as spot edits, zooming in, zooming out, changing perspectives, and more. The feature also allows users to edit the initial prompt to regenerate the entire image or a portion of it.

In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), the company announced the launch of the Web Editor tool, which will be part of Midjourney’s Lightbox functionality and will provide a way to make specific changes to an image rather than completely regenerating it. The AI ​​company said that the Web Editor unifies multiple separate image actions into a single interface.

Midjourney has also explained the functionality of the tool in detail on its support pageThe editor tool will have an eraser that can erase the areas a user wants to regenerate and a Restore function that can refine the erased areas. It will also have a scale function that enlarges the canvas and works as a zoom-out function.

An interesting tool is Edit Prompt, which allows users to make changes to the original prompt for the image. Users can change the text, add or remove parameters, or change the way references are used in the image. This function works in a similar way to the ‘remix’ function.

However, there are limits to what can be changed and what cannot. For example, while users can erase and regenerate parts of an image, it is currently not possible to replace the subject with another or make detailed changes without relying on the Edit Prompt feature.

That said, Dall-E recently added an inline editing feature, and before that a similar feature was added by Microsoft for its Copilot-powered Designer app. These tools give users more control and increase the usability of AI-generated images.
