Midjourney v5: Photorealistic Quality at Prompt’s Reach
Midjourney v5, released in March 2023, delivers consistent photorealism in skin, light, and depth of field, something v4 could not manage. The --style raw parameter disables the default artistic look, ideal for product photography. It still lacks an official API and only runs through Discord, so Stable Diffusion XL and DALL-E 3 remain more practical for automating pipelines.
