Two Methods for Enabling and Using Midjourney Raw Mode
Are you ready to take your image generation in Midjourney to the next level? With the latest version 5.1, Midjourney introduces an exciting feature called Raw Mode. In this blog post, we will explore two methods for enabling and using Raw Mode to enhance your creative process. Let's get started!
Method 1: Midjourney Raw Mode in a Prompt
To enable Raw Mode within Midjourney, ensure that your account is operating on version 5.1. Whether you access Midjourney through a Midjourney channel, your own server, or the Midjourney bot in your Discord DMs, the process remains the same. For the purpose of this example, let's focus on using Midjourney within our own server.

If you prefer a more permanent solution, you can activate Raw Mode within your Midjourney settings. This ensures that Raw Mode is consistently enabled for all your future image creations. Before proceeding with this method, make sure your Midjourney account is set to version 5.1.
