Midjourney makes image editing easier with plain text

Midjourney, one of the best-known tools for making AI images, has spent the past week polishing its new editing feature, called the v8.2 editor. The update came in a changelog published on September 16, 2026 on the company's test site for new features.

With the editing feature, you can open an image and ask for changes in ordinary words instead of having to paint or mark the area you want to change by hand. You can, for example, write that the sky should be blue instead of gray, or that a person should wear a different sweater. The tool can also take up to four reference images at a time, so you can ask the AI to blend elements from several images.

In the latest update, the prompt field has been changed so it now asks "What would you like to change?" when you attach an image, which makes it clearer how the feature should be used. There are also improvements for mobile and tablet, so the pages use the full width of the screen, and an old upgrade button has been replaced by a more useful feature that enhances the image automatically.

Midjourney also added support for Korean in this week's update and is encouraging users who speak other languages to come forward if they want to help translate the tool going forward.

The editing model itself was first opened for public testing at the end of August, and Midjourney itself points out that it's still an early test version with some bugs. Nothing new has been announced about pricing in connection with the update.

For ordinary users and Danish workplaces that use Midjourney to make images for things like posts or presentations, this means you'll be able to fix minor things in an image without starting over or learning to use advanced editing tools. You simply describe the change in plain language.

What it means for you

If you use Midjourney for images at work or privately, you can now fix small things, such as the color of the sky or a person's clothes, just by writing what you want to change. You no longer have to paint or mark areas by hand, so it's ideal for quick fixes in posts or presentations. Remember that it's still an early test version, so expect some bugs along the way.
