TL;DR: Use pictures to inspire your Midjourney creations and mix & match styles like a pro!
Midjourney just released a cool new feature called Style Reference. It lets you use pictures as a guide when creating your own art, similar to copying a style you like.
How it works:
- Find an image with the style you want (any online image works!).
- Use the magic code --sref with the image URL in your Midjourney prompt.
- Want to mix & match styles? Use multiple images and adjust their influence with extra numbers (like this: --sref image1.jpg ::2 image2.jpg).
- Play with other settings like image weight and overall style strength (--iw, --sw) for even more control.
Bonus:
- This feature is still in testing (alpha), so only some people can use it right now.
- It works best with text prompts, not just image prompts.
- Midjourney plans to add more features like using reference images for specific characters in the future.
