Midjourney V6 styles update!

MJ has a new update:

(source: Midjourney's Discord server)

David Holz: "Hey @everyone we're releasing our first test algorithms for 'Consistent Styles' today. We're calling the feature "Style References". They work similarly to image prompts where you give a URL to one or more images that 'describe' the consistent style you want to work over. How to use Style References

After your prompt type --sref along with a URL to an image --sref urlA
Our system will look at the image URL as a 'style references' and try to make something that 'matches' its style or aesthetic
This works for both V6 and Niji V6 (it does not work with V5 etc)

Advanced Settings

Use multiple urls to multiple images like this --sref urlA urlB urlC
Set relative weights of styles like this --sref urlA::2 urlB::3 urlC::5
Set the total strength of the stylization via --sw 100 (100 is default, 0 is off, 1000 is maximum)
Regular image prompts must go before --sref like this/imagine cat ninja ImagePrompt1 ImagePrompt2 --sref stylePrompt1 stylePrompt2

Please Note:

We'll likely update this in the next few weeks (and it may change things so be careful while it's all in alpha).
If your prompt tends towards photorealism and you want a conflicting style like illustration you may still need to add some text to your prompt saying so
Style References have no direct effect on image prompts, only on jobs that contain at least one text prompt
Our plan will be to add a "Consistent Character" feature at later date that works the same with a --cref argument.

Please play around with this totally new algorithm and share results in ⁠sref-showcase and tell us what you think in ⁠ideas-and-features"

I am testing it out. Here are 2 images the second one is MJ vanilla, the first is with style. I used 2 images from my blog post to make this style.

Prompt: illustration of a beautiful woman with short red hair and green eyes wearing a black lace dress with white pearls --sref https://s.mj.run/GuyBDpHw6A0 https://s.mj.run/ymYolYZ_BAc --sw 500 --ar 3:4 --s 700 --v 6.0

Did you try it already?
