🔥 NEW Consistent Styles Feature — “Style References”
Midjourney has just released their first test algorithms for Consistent Style— a highly anticipated new feature called “Style References”.
This new feature allows you to specify one or more reference images that define the aesthetic you want Midjourney to maintain across your generated images.
What is “Style References”
Style Reference works similarly to image prompts where you give a URL to one or more images that ‘describe’ the consistent style you want to work over.
Highlights of Style References
- Functionality: Similar to image prompts
- Usage: Type
--srefafter your text prompt, followed by URLs to one or more style reference images like this:--sref urlA urlB urlC - Format:
/imagine text prompt --sref url - Style Matching: The model looks at image URLs as ‘style references’ and tries to generate something that visually ‘matches’ their aesthetics.
- Goal: Create output matching the provided aesthetics
- Compatibility: Works for both V6 and Niji V6 ( Not work with V5 etc)
Example of “Style References”🎨
I took the lion image on the left side as a reference image and replicated the style and generated the fox on the right side with the new “Style References” feature.
A simple step-by-step guide will be
Step 1: Pick Your Reference Image
Use an image that you generated with Midjourney or pick one from the internet
Step 2: Upload an Image or Copy a URL
Upload the images to Discord.
Step 3: Type Your Prompt
Type --sref after your text prompt, followed by URLs to a style reference image like this: --sref ur
An example will be like this /imagine prompt: Your Text Prompt --sref urlA
With the New “Style References” feature, I can replicate the style easily
/imagine prompt: A fox--sref url
Here is an in-depth guide with tips and tricks on this new “Reference Style” feature.
