User mentions that while Midjourney is great for hero visuals, it doesn't work as well for product mockups compared to other tools like DALL-E. They suggest that better aesthetic control for product mockups could enhance the tool's versatility.
Had an awkward screenshare moment where a client noticed I had multiple ai image creator tabs open, not just midjourney. They're paying me a premium rate partly because I told them I use midjourney for their campaign visuals and they associate that name with quality. Seeing other tools open made them question whether they're getting "the midjourney experience" they expected. Midjourney IS my primary tool and I love it for hero visuals, editorial content, anything that needs to feel crafted and intentional. Aesthetic control is unmatched once you know the parameters. But it's not the right tool for everything and pretending otherwise isn't honest. For product mockups I sometimes use dall-e because it follows literal compositional instructions better. Midjourney for hero stuff that actually represents the brand. I explained all of this to the client and they actually appreciated the transparency. They weren't upset about the tools, they were upset about feeling like they weren't getting what they paid for. Once I showed them which pieces came from where and why, they got it. Different tools for different jobs isn't cutting corners. For high volume daily social content specifically I've been using freepik because turnaround is faster and output is consistent enough for stories and linkedin graphics that live for 24 hours max. Whole thing still felt awkward though because the "which AI tool do you use" question is becoming loaded in ways it didn't used to be.
