# High-res rating

By Steven Van · 2026-04-27

Hi everyone!

Midjourney is asking users to help rank images ahead of aesthetic updates planned for v8.1/8.2. The company says it has not previously run ranking sessions at full 2K resolution, and doing so now should help tune the model to produce better "natively" HD/2K results.

Anyone can take part at midjourney.com/rank-v8-1, choosing which of two raw images looks more "beautiful". The [announcement](<https://updates.midjourney.com/high-res-rating/>) notes keyboard shortcuts for the task: 1 for the left image, 2 for the right, and 3 to skip.
