If you regularly use style referencing and personalisation codes, you will probably understand the message below from the Midjourney Developers and how to apply it. I found it took a little tweaking to get it working and, to some degree, controllable. I’ll give some examples and prompts below of my attempts to make sense of it.

Hi @everyone @here we’re adding more advanced options today for — sref (style references) and — p (model personalization)

New Features for Style References
You can now blend multiple — sref codes together (for example — sref 123 456
You can now blend style reference image urls and sref random codes together (for example — sref 123 url
You can weigh individual codes or urls as follows — sref 123::2 456::1

New Model Personalization Blending
You can now blend multiple model personalization codes together like — p ab12ad3 cd34gl
We’ve also enabled blending with the same notation — p ab12ad3::2 cd34gl::1

Blend your personaliation and style codes with those of your friends and explore new spaces of mutual aesthetic harmony!
