When using Style Reference, you can adjust the intensity of the style influence by combining the –sref parameter with the –sw parameter. This allows you to fine-tune how strongly the reference image’s artistic style affects your final output.

Style Reference also allows multiple images to be referenced.

When referencing multiple images, it is possible to use “::” to assign weights to each of the multiple referenced images, as in the case of the multi-prompt.
