How do I use the midjourney generative fill functionality?

In the last few posts, we explained that Adobe is also adopting AI-generative tools to improve their essential photo editing efficiency. If you are familiar with Adobe Photoshop, you may know about the Generative Fill feature. With this feature, Adobe users can easily create elements by simply providing a description prompt. When it was initially added, numerous people enjoyed this feature. Following this, recently, Midjourney did something to rival Adobe.

Midjourney deserves recognition, too. After all, it is a reputed research lab that conducts independent research on artificial intelligence. Specifically, Midjourney is an AI service that generates images based on prompts and has been serving the globe for the last year. As a new industry member, it has added many new features. Based on their research, they introduced the “Vary (Region)” feature to improve upon Photoshop’s generic fill.

How to Use the Midjourney Generate Fill Functionality?

After reading the headline “Midjourney Generative Fill Functionality,” I understand it as introducing the Vary (Region) feature, similar to Adobe Photoshop’s Generative Fill. As a typical AI feature, it can edit, remove, or add image elements with simple clicks, and I am sure most of you use it in Adobe Photoshop. However, the recent addition of MidJourney’s Vary (Region) seems interesting.

We emphasize this Midjourney tool because Adobe is a software company, while Midjourney is a research lab. This lets you understand how efficiently Vary (Region) works compared to Generative Fill. Apart from that, the pricing for both has a huge difference. For Photoshop Generative Fill, you need to pay $240/year; for Midjourney, the pricing is $94/year. Also, MidJourney’s Vary (Region) has a more straightforward UI than Generative Fill.

However, it would be best if you acknowledged that Midjourney is still under development while Generative Fill is already an established feature. Photoshop can process any image, while Midjourney can only process self-generated images. However, the best thing is that with Midjourney, you will have the chance to learn more things, as there are more opportunities for improvement than in Photoshop. After all, it is a research lab. I am sure you are eager to use the Vary (Region) feature and explore it. So, follow the steps below to use it:

• Visit Midjourney’s official Discord website.
• Then, head to the tab to generate an image as usual.
• Using the /upscale command, upscale the image.
• Now click on the Vary (Region) button.
• Next, select the areas of the image that you want to regenerate using the given tools.
• Once done, click on the Submit button in the Midjourney Bot.
• After that, wait for a while for processing.
• That’s it! In the next moment, you will see the results.

So, this is the simplest way to use Midjourney Generative Fill or Vary (Region). I hope you understand what you can get with less investment. Adobe is a well-established company with numerous years of experience, but Vary (Region) has such potential that it can surpass Photoshop’s generic fill feature. Although the feature is still under development, we can see more improvements and efficiency with this feature in the future. Let’s see what new things could happen.
