midjourney upscale vary subtle strong
HeyBraza points at the right creation action - upscale or vary, subtle or strong - for the result you actually want.
after midjourney generates a grid, the next step trips everyone up: upscale subtle, upscale creative, vary subtle, vary strong - four similar-sounding buttons. here's what each one actually does and exactly where to find them in the web app.
short answer
open the image fullscreen and use creation actions: 'upscale (subtle)' adds detail without changing the image, 'upscale (creative)' invents new detail. 'vary (subtle)' tweaks slightly, 'vary (strong)' keeps the layout but changes the details.
or do it yourself
- 1click an image in your creation feed to open it fullscreen.
- 2find the 'creation actions' section to the right of the image.
- 3for a bigger, sharper version, choose 'upscale (subtle)' to add detail without changing it, or 'upscale (creative)' to let it add new detail.
- 4for new options on the same idea, choose 'vary (subtle)' for tiny tweaks or 'vary (strong)' to keep the layout but change details.
- 5wait for the new batch to generate in the feed, then repeat on whichever result you like best.

downloadcommon questions
what's the difference between vary subtle and vary strong?
subtle barely changes anything - good for tiny fixes; strong keeps the overall structure but reworks details, faces and textures more noticeably.
why don't i see upscale 2x / 4x anymore?
newer versions replaced the 2x/4x buttons with subtle and creative upscales - same idea, different labels, found under creation actions.
