The Must-Learn --sref Command in the New Midjourney Version

What is --sref?

--sref is a newly added feature in Midjourney that can be used in the latest versions, namely v6 and niji 6. It is a game-changer that allows you to achieve your desired style without the need for complex keywords or reference images, essentially acting as a new and improved way to provide style references.

How to Use --sref

Using --sref is incredibly simple. Once you master it, you can say goodbye to complicated keywords and piles of reference images. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Find Your Style Inspiration

Locate an image that embodies the style you want to replicate. For example, if you want to create something with a similar aesthetic, find a picture that matches your vision.

Step 2: Describe Your Main Subject

Provide a description of the main subject you want to generate. For instance, if you're creating an image without using the --sref command, you would simply describe what you want.

Step 3: Add --sref and the Image Link

Finally, append --sref followed by the image link at the end of your description. That's it! This method is far more straightforward and effective than using multiple keywords or reference images. Give it a try!

Enhancing Style Similarity

If you want the generated image to be even more similar to your reference image, you can use the --sw command followed by a number. For example, --sw 750. The value range is 0-1000, with higher numbers resulting in greater similarity.11
