Since the release of the AI image generating programs at the beginning of 2023, Midjourney has become a fan favorite for its ease of use and spectacular images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And while Midjourney has been the leading image generator in the aesthetics department, its lack of an outpainting feature that many of its competitors, like Dall-E 2 and Stable Diffusion, have had for a long time, has been a thorn in the side of its users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news is that Midjourney V5.2, which was released at the end of June, came with a new set of \u201cZoom\u201d features. Although these new tools are not technically the same as outpainting, they are a significant stride in rectifying that omission of the previous versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, we are going to show you how to use Midjourney Outpainting<\/em><\/strong>, aka the new Zoom tools, and go over some of their limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re also going to share a couple of tricks to make the best use of these tools and get around a few barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n In short \u2013 no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new Zoom tools can be used on any images that you have created in Midjourney, as long as they are still accessible on your Discord account. This also includes any images you\u2019ve created before the release of the new tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The new tools do not work <\/em><\/strong>with pictures you have saved on your computer or images uploaded from the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, we have a work around for that, so keep reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first new Midjourney feature is \u201cZoom Out\u201d, which comes with two settings: Zoom Out 1.5x and Zoom Out 2x.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rather than enlarging the image and \u201cpainting out\u201d-side the image borders, the Midjourney Zoom Out function works more like adjusting camera lens, making your focal point smaller and \u2018bringing in\u2019 the unseen outer edges into frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll be able to capture more of the environment around your subject while still maintaining the core part of your original image. Essentially, it widens your field of view in the same frame, as it would if you were looking through a camera lens and zoomed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s important to note two things about the Zoom Out Feature:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that said, if your focal point is smaller than in the original image after it\u2019s been zoomed out, you are going to lose some detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re going to show you how to use each of the functions step-by-step, with visuals. So come along and we\u2019ll do this together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PROMPT: photograph of a young woman working in a cafe on her laptop, using ear buds, looking calm and reflective, close up<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nCan You Outpaint All Images Using The Midjourney Zoom Tools?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
