Midjourney rolls out V8.2 preview and enhanced V8.1 draft mode

Midjourney has released two updates for its image generation service. The first update introduces a `--preview` parameter for users to get an early look at the V8.2 aesthetics and personalization features. The second update enhances the big-batch draft mode for V8.1, allowing users to generate 24 lower-resolution images at half the price of a standard four-image job, with a "Vary" option to upscale desired images.
