Midjourney is a powerful platform with impressive features hidden behind random numbers and obscure parameters, making the learning curve intense. As the platform transitions from Discord to its own platform, the addition of a style catalog is essential. Currently, users can apply style to images using different methods, such as referencing another image or using the –sref parameter. With thousands of potential styles, finding the right one requires trial and error.
Style Reference is a feature that defines how the AI image generator interprets the look and feel of an image, providing a shortcut to replicate a specific style in the future. Nick St Pierre, a Midjourney expert, has created a style guide using AI to tag and label images by color, style, or lighting, allowing users to find related codes easily. Having access to a library of style codes will be a game changer for Midjourney.
The platform is moving out of Discord and has launched its own web interface, making it more accessible to users who have created at least 100 images in the Discord bot. The addition of a style catalog could make applying styles more straightforward. Users can still use parameters in the web version, but the introduction of a style catalog may simplify the process. Upgrading to the web version of Midjourney allows for image prompt customization using buttons, toggles, and text input instead of random numbers.
