Editor
On midjourney.com, the Editor is your go-to for making precise tweaks to your images. With everything in one user-friendly spot, you can crop, pan, and adjust the aspect ratio (and more!) all at the same time. Discord offers panning and aspect ratio changes too, but you'll need to do each step separately, which gives you a bit less control.
A standout feature of the Editor is that the Vary Region inpainting tool is built right into it. This lets you re-generate parts of your image while you make other changes, giving you a smoother creative experience.
The Editor allows you to edit your Midjourney creations, while the Full Editor let's you use the power of Midjourney on your own images. The Full Editor is only available on midjourney.com and currently has limited access.
Working with Reference Images
Using your own images to guide your Midjourney creations is incredibly easy on midjourney.com. With the click of a button you can designate your image as an image prompt, style reference, or character reference—even use it as all three! Plus, you can swiftly add any of your Midjourney creations from your gallery to your prompt without hassle.
If you’re on Discord, you can still use reference images. However, you’ll first need to host your image on Discord, grab the image URL, and then add it to your prompt along with any specific parameters. It’s a bit more hands-on, but still doable!
Reusing Elements
Mixing and matching prompt text, image references and style references is a breeze on the website. In each image's "Creation Actions" section, you'll find "Use" tools. These let you effortlessly reuse prompt text and the image itself, making it simple to craft new prompts.
On Discord, you can achieve similar results, but it takes more manual steps. You’ll need image URLs, and you might find yourself copying, pasting, or using the re-roll 🔄 button to get everything just right.
