Highly worth reading! ## What is a Style Code? Tsubaki.2 introduces a “Style” feature that lets users customize the visual style of generated images, similar to the quality tag tool from the SDXL era. - Even without selecting an official preset style, writing style descriptions directly in the prompt is effective. - The Customize Style field and Prompt field produce **different** effects — descriptions in the Customize Style field produce stronger results. (See the “Customize Style Field vs Prompt” section below for details.) - After creating a custom style, you can generate a Style Code (e.g. `SH171537`) through the sharing feature, which others can use to apply your style. - Think of Style Codes as “style P-values” — share a code and let others use your style! ### Style Code Demo The first image below uses my Style Code (`SH171537`), the second has no style applied. (Same prompt, same seed) ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/247bc339-db8a-466a-9749-f21bda43f0ed) With Style Code SH171537 ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/0de4dfb4-26b7-44e3-aab4-e75edd533ba9) No style applied --- ## Tips for Creating Custom Styles Here are some tips from my experiments so far: - Experiment with different style descriptions to find what you like. - Try different approaches: **painting style** (watercolor, ink wash, impasto), **lighting** (cinematic lighting, backlight), **color mood** (muted tones, high contrast), etc. - Sometimes unexpected combinations produce amazing results — just keep experimenting! These are preliminary findings — feel free to share your own discoveries 😊 --- ## Customize Style Field vs Prompt Through experimentation, I discovered that the same style description produces noticeably different results depending on where you write it. ### 🔍 Finding 1: The Customize Style field produces stronger effects Using this style description as an example: ``` The background blurs with motion, emphasizing speed through light trails while maintaining sharp focus on the rider and her machine. The image balances hyper-realistic textures of leather, metal, and fabric with stylized lighting that heightens the cyberpunk aesthetic. ``` ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/b5d60c50-99ce-442a-911f-2074b2156b5c) Style description written in Prompt field ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/c269e9ac-d94e-4c5a-a06d-3cdc856cd322) Style description written in Customize Style field The difference is clear — the style effect is **much stronger** when written in the Customize Style field. ### 🔍 Finding 2: Prompt Helper reinforces style descriptions When **Prompt Helper** is enabled, the Generation Tasks log reveals that it reinforces the Customize Style field content by incorporating it into the prompt again. This makes the style effect **even stronger**. ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/5f18d8be-b62a-4d9e-83c7-836f3985d381) Prompt Helper ON → Style description reinforced ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/2d16eafc-e078-4af9-96e6-36e40c6a7a1c) Prompt Helper OFF → Style field content not visible in Generation Tasks ## Benefits of Converting Custom Styles to Style Codes - Easy to share: Just a few characters to apply a style to other artworks - Protects your style description After publishing an artwork, other users can see your Customize Style field content in the artwork details: ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/93a8e606-1ea1-4d5c-9e0e-2d4eafc483ce) Direct style description → Others can see the full content after publish ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/fa5791b4-2796-4901-ae0d-01266a7c7f41) Using Style Code → Only the code is shown, original description is protected Therefore, if you want to share your work but keep your style description private, **using a Style Code is the better choice**. --- ## Prompt Helper Impact ⚠️ During preset style experiments, an interesting finding emerged: - Enabling **Prompt Helper** generally improves the overall atmosphere and coherence of the image. - However, the Prompt Helper sometimes **over-interprets the prompt**, causing unexpected changes to the character’s appearance. Therefore — if you need high consistency for **original characters** that the model doesn’t recognize, it’s recommended to **turn off the Prompt Helper** to reduce variables. --- ## Appendix: Preset Style Comparison Chart (Beta) This comparison chart was made during the beta testing period using “Tsunu’s” prompt to test all preset styles. (PH = Prompt Helper) Some preset style names and options have changed since the official launch, but the experimental results still serve as useful reference. ![](https://images-ng.pixai.art/images/thumb/84eb21fc-3c36-4f21-86db-b8b20ff0107a) Preset Styles × Prompt Helper (PH) Comparison --- ## Closing This article will be updated as new tips or features are released.
