Midjourney: keep a consistent look with --sref and --sw

Add --sref with an image URL or style code to reuse a look across images, and tune its strength with --sw (0-1000, default 100).

Style References copy the style of an image (palette, medium, mood) without copying its subject.

Usage

a lighthouse at dusk --sref https://example.com/my-style.png --sw 250
  • Use multiple URLs separated by spaces; weight them with ::2, ::1 on Discord.
  • Instead of an image, use a numeric style code, or try --sref random to discover new looks.
  • --sw sets strength: closer to 1000 = stronger style, 0 = weakest. Default 100.

Gotcha

V7’s style system changed. Old codes may look different; add --sv 4 (or use V6) to get the old behavior. You still need a text prompt alongside the reference.
