Before the introduction of Style Reference, the style could be duplicated using Image Prompting. However, it did not completely solve our problem.

Style Reference is different from Image Reference. Style Reference, functions similarly but somewhat in between Image Prompting and Style Tuner. Let’s oversimplify it.

Image Prompting with maximum image weight produces images that closely resemble the reference image, particularly the color, action of the main subject, text placement, style, and other details. For example, I’m going to use this image as Image prompt.

In the image Prompting, with the addition of image weight up to three, the generated image will closely resembles the reference image, including the details like colors and even text.

Now let’s use same reference image with Style Reference.
