Had some terrible hands with my first few attempts. They still have to work on that.And related to that, I often get a right hand on a left arm...had that in V6 too.

6.1 has messed up my abstract prompts. I now have to reword them all to try to get back what I had (so I can make more of them). For example, the new 6.1 has hyperfocused on "cyber matrix" and interpreted it as "circular scribbles." Sigh. So I have to stick to 6.0 for these images. So aggravating. For real life images, it's okay but I haven't noticed any small details in my prompts where MJ 6.1 suddenly decides to "see" the "little shit" (like a full moon combined with style codes--the moon disappears in 6.1. so it too had to be reworded).
6.1 has also brought with it, for me only maybe, a new personalize code. That too has changed some things. MJ needs to be able to combine personal style codes.

I'm so frustrated right now. I didn't know about the update and Midjourney automatically changed the default version from 6 to 6.1. According to them it is supposed to be better with the human skin and hands but the results I got are worse than before. I was confused why almost all of my images had weird melted hands, opposite hands, additional fingers etc. The skin and the texture seems better sometimes but the limbs are completely messed up. I 'll be using the previous model, at least for now.

What I’m noticing is the lighting is not correct on the hands / arms / feet. It has a strange sheen almost like purple fringing or digital noise (but not purple). You can see it at 02.41 in this video, as an example, the blown highlights which give off a digital shimmer when you zoom in on the right figure. If you are paying for fast hours it can be very lucrative for the vendor to not give you correct hands, there must be literally hundreds of millions of re-generations around hands, creating huge profits. There is no financial incentive to fix this.

I kinda hope they dont forget describe on the old Discord server. I would really enjoy if they put it on the website.But I dont think it optimized anymore for these new versions.

[graphicallydeb]

I cannot ever get into discord. It says I’m not a member and require an account.. so I set it up and it says the account already exists.

How do you do the - - q2 to get a better quality? I tried using that prompt but said it was not recognized ? Can anyone answer that for me?

[Vanderful_life]

do you guys use it for hobby or someone managed to make some fair living work service with those pics generation?

[Metaworldwide]

Anything that puts Magnific out of business for extortionate pricing... I am for it! 😂

[FilmFactry]

On the web, can we set --q 2 as default?

Midjourney has one 'R' in it; even 6.1
