Midjourney’s style reference, has sent the AI community into a frenzy with its cryptic “sref” codes promising innovative styles.
Yet, a closer inspection reveals the secret sauce isn’t so secret.
The kicker is that you don’t even need Midjourney to use these styles – and that changes everything.

Voilà. You’ve successfully replicated the sref effect without the need for Midjourney.
Let’s see some examples.
Here I am going to use Kolors with IP-Adapter.
