Midjourney's Text Problem Is Not Fixed, Use Ideogram

Midjourney makes beautiful frames and then ruins them with gibberish text the moment you ask for a sign or a label.

Midjourney makes beautiful frames and then ruins them with gibberish text the moment you ask for a sign or a label.

The failure mode to watch: Ideogram renders readable words inside images, which sounds minor until you need a poster with actual copy on it.

The workflow I ended up with: My rule: Midjourney for the mood, Ideogram for anything a human has to read. Swapping saved me an hour of Photoshop per batch.

That is an hour a week I got back.
