Midjourney Creates a Feature to Advance Image Consistency
Artificial intelligence imaging service Midjourney has been embraced by storytellers who have also been clamoring for a feature that enables characters to regenerate consistently across new requests. Now Midjourney is delivering that functionality with the addition of the new “–cref” tag (short for Character Reference), available for those who are using Midjourney v6 on the Discord server. Users can achieve the effect by adding the tag to the end of text prompts, followed by a URL that contains the master image subsequent generations should match. Midjourney will then attempt to repeat the particulars of a character’s face, body and clothing characteristics.
From MidJourney founder David Holz’s note about it:
… we’re testing a new “Character Reference” feature today This is similar to the “Style Reference” feature, except instead of matching a reference style it tries to make the character match a “Character Reference” image.
How it worksType --cref URL after your prompt with a URL to an image of a character
You can use --cw to modify reference ‘strength’ from 100 to 0
strength 100 (--cw 100) is default and uses the face, hair, and clothes
At strength 0 (--cw 0) it’ll just focus on face (good for changing outfits / hair etc)What it’s meant for
This feature works best when using characters made from Midjourney images. It’s not designed for real people / photos (and will likely distort them as regular image prompts do)
Cref works similarly to regular image prompts except it ‘focuses’ on the character traits
The precision of this technique is limited, it won’t copy exact dimples / freckles / or tshirt logos.
Cref works for both Niji and normal MJ models and also can be combined with --sref
Advanced FeaturesYou can use more than one URL to blend the information /characters from multiple images like this --cref URL1 URL2 (this is similar to multiple image or style prompts)How does it work on the web alpha?Drag or paste an image into the imagine bar, it now has three icons. selecting these sets whether it is an image prompt, a style reference, or a character reference. Shift+select an option to use an image for multiple categoriesRemember, while MJ V6 is in alpha this and other features may change suddenly, but V6 official beta is coming soon. We’d love everyone’s thoughts in ideas-and-features We hope you enjoy this early release and hope it helps you play with building stories and worlds
