Using a Style reference

“

- [Instructor] There is one final setting that we have not discussed yet, which is the match style setting. Now, match style allows you to assign a secondary image to your prompt, just like a structure reference. However, this time Firefly will mimic the visual style of the image and apply that style to your prompt. So this means that the shapes, the style, texture, color, theme, anything that makes your image look unique will be copied and applied to the prompt that you're currently creating. Let's take a look at a very simple example. Here inside Adobe Firefly, I have reused one of the previous prompts that you've learned before, which is a dog wearing glasses reading a book. And I'm getting different variations of that specific prompt, and everything is absolutely fine. Now what I'm going to look here at is I want to change the visual style, the visual look and feel of that image based on another image. Now, if I scroll down this list of options here, you will find the styles category. And as you can see, you can also choose any of these images as part of a gallery, just like you have this option here inside of the structure reference. So let's take a look at what we have available. I'll just go ahead and choose Browse gallery, and from here I have the option to choose from a whole plethora of visual styles. So I have acrylic and oil references, I have watercolor paintings, pencil drawings, 3D renders. I have a lot to choose from. Now you are obviously free to upload your own artwork to mimic your own style while you're creating a prompt depicting a different scene. Let me show you a couple of different variations here just to show you just how powerful this can really, really get. So I'm just going to go ahead and click the 3D render option, which will add this here as a style reference. I'll just go ahead and click Generate to reinterpret the prompt of a dog wearing glasses reading a book as if it was rendered using the exact same 3D styles and objects as we have here in this specific render, and this is the result we're getting. I think this is probably the best iteration of that style reference. Let's try this again. Let's try and do this type of acrylic and oil painting this time. I'll just go ahead and select that. I'll choose Generate, and let's reinterpret the same prompt. Now keep in mind that the style reference itself might not have nothing to do with the subject of which you're trying to prompt a different scene, which means that you might have this specific scene here featuring a woman while you're now creating a prompt of a dog. Now, as you can see here, this really gives me the same look and feel of that specific image. Now I've gone ahead and I've experimented a little bit more on your behalf. Let me show you a few more examples. So here you have the exact same prompt, but I used this reference here in the bottom left corner to change this prompt. Now this looks very, very different. Let's look at this example where I'm using a different type of artist style, or this version where I have a different type of 3D render. Or maybe this version where, again, I have a very different way, a different abstract way of depicting the exact same dog. And then lastly, this one where I seem to have a continuous line effect here going through this design. So keep in mind that using these visual references can really allow you to change the look and feel of the image, and very often, maybe even better based on the effect category that you have here as well. The only difference is that if you use the effects option here, it's just going to add that as an extra ingredient to your prompt. While if you're using the style reference, it will completely transform what the image might look like, and it'll take in the same theme, texture, color theme, and it will apply that to the prompt that you currently have. And also keep in mind that you can even start to make crazy combinations where you want to combine the style reference versus effects versus structure reference, and even these settings here at the bottom of the screen.
