You can use the --sw parameter with style references --sref to adjust the strength of the stylization. Style Weight --sw 100 is the default – you don’t need to add this to your prompts. --sw range is 0 to 1000. --sw 0 cancels out the --sref. Let’s explore this feature.
How to use –sw parameter
Prompt: a woman wearing goggles –sref 364111995 –sw 1000
The differences between –sw 100 and –sw 1000 can be subtle.
I typically don’t add any –sw into my sref prompts, the default works great.
But, I do run tests at the beginning, just to see if I like one value vs. another.
I typically run the tests like this, with permutations:
[my prompt] –sref 1234 –sw {0, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000}
or
[my prompt] –sref 124 –sw {0, 250, 500, 750, 1000}
Both give me enough range to see which value of –sw I prefer.
Even if you see an ‘illustrative style’ it can most of the time be transformed into something like this. This is the same –sref I used for the comparisons.
