To monitor your available GPU time (/info command.
8. Select an Image or Create Variations
Once your initial image grid has been generated, two rows of buttons become available underneath your image grid.
U1 U2 U3 U4 Image Selection
In earlier versions of Midjourney, the U buttons were used for upscaling images. With the latest model, images are immediately generated at 1024 x 1024 pixels size. Now, the 'U' buttons help you separate out your chosen image from the grid, making it easier to download and giving you access to additional editing and generation tools.
🔄 Re-run or Re-roll a Job
The 🔄 button re-runs a Job. In this case, it would re-run the original prompt producing a new grid of images.
V1 V2 V3 V4 Image Variation
The V buttons are used to create variations of the selected image. Each button generates a new image grid that maintains the general style and composition of the selected image.
