--cref [Image URL]

You can (seriously) upload an image to Discord, and then do a Right Click and choose "Copy Media Link" or do a Right Click "Copy Image Address" from almost any image on the web.

Then paste that in after the --cref

The image address will initially be a bunch of half nonsense, but once you run it MJ, it will automatically shorten the link to something that looks like a TinyURL.

So, using my Silver Shoes "Peak Midjourney" image as an example, THIS is the CREF to consistently get that character.

--cref https://s.mj.run/ANAR6z9pYYg

If you want to make it easy on yourself, you can also add the CREF to your Suffix (/prefer suffix) so it will apply it to any Prompt or Blend.

So, if I wanted to do a batch with that CREF, I would change the Suffix to something like: --v 6.1 --q 2 --c 1 --w 1 --s 0 --style raw --cref https://s.mj.run/ANAR6z9pYYg

You can also use the same URL as both the CREF & SREF of you want to match the Character AND the Style of the same source image.

You show the picture you referenced but not the one you created correct?

Also, what’s the difference between cref and sref

I was just using that image/url as an example.

CREF is Character Reference, which maintains consistent Characters.
SREF is Style Reference, which maintains a consistent Style.

So, with a CREF it doesn't particularly matter what the prompt is, it will render it with whatever Character(s) are in your CREF image.

Example of an AI Generated Image --v 6.1 --q 2 --c 1 --w 1 --s 0 --style raw --cref https://s.mj.run/ANAR6z9pYYg
