What is Style Reference?

The Style Reference feature enables users to apply the visual style of selected images to a new creation. This fusion of styles can transform ordinary images into extraordinary pieces of art by blending different artistic influences.

Key Features of Style Reference

• Multi-Style Blending: Combine up to four different style references in one image, with adjustable weights for each, enabling a unique mix of textures and styles.
• Adjustable Influence: Fine-tune the impact of each style with an Influence slider, giving precise control over the final appearance of the image.
• Content Reference: Use existing images not just for style, but also as content guides to maintain the original shapes and forms while overlaying new styles.
• Image Variations: Generate multiple variations of an image by adjusting prompts and references, maintaining core elements while refreshing the style.

Applications

This feature is particularly useful for projects that require detailed, textured visuals, such as digital art, marketing materials, and multimedia content creation.

How to Use Style Reference

Using the Style Reference feature involves a few straightforward steps:

• Select an Image: Choose or upload an image to use as your style reference.
• Set Up Your Prompt: Describe the main subject of your new image to guide the AI.
• Adjust Settings: Determine the strength of the style influence with the Influence slider.
• Generate Image: Produce your image and assess the results.

Applying Style Reference to an Existing Image

To effectively apply a style to an existing image, combine both "Style Reference" and "Content Reference":

1. Step 1: Go to the Image Generation section and upload the image you want to modify.
2. Step 2: Set Image Guidance to “Content Reference” and adjust the base image size settings for the new generation.
3. Step 3: Upload a style reference image (e.g., "The Great Wave off Kanagawa") and set Image Guidance to “Style Reference.”
4. Step 4: Enter a prompt that describes the characters and setting of the original image. Choose a model that fits the artistic style you aim for.
5. Step 5: Click “Generate” and select your preferred result, observing how the AI intelligently integrates patterns and colors relevant to the scene’s setting.

Experimenting with Style and Content

Adjust the strength of the style and content references to push the boundaries of your creative expression. Experimenting with these settings allows the AI more freedom to apply the style dynamically and creatively.
