Object reference no longer working on Firefly 4?

So, I've used the reference image technique in the previous version of FF, always to some degree of success.
Now, in FF4, the process is no longer returning the same kind of results.
My process is:
1. Create prompt with initial base idea ie: cube made of glass, dark background, light refraction (using presets Hyper realistic, Beautiful, Futuristic, Studio Light), and Generate.
2. Pick up the most adequate result and use it as Style Reference
3. Upload my own Structure reference. Generate.
4. Results are basically variations of the Style reference, totally ignoring the Structure reference.

I play with the Strength sliders, but to no avail.
What happened? Why isn't this working anymore?

Hello. Thanks for your reply.

If Object Reference is not an option in FF4, there not much to discuss then.
For reference, this was the Style reference from the original prompt:

And this was the Composition reference, added on the second phase (similar to other stuff I did in FF3):
And these were some of the results, combining the Structure and the Style References (worked very well on FF3, now not working at all):

Its a shame, because it was a really good feature...

Hi @DaddyDoom!

I'm sorry to hear that. To confirm, are you looking for the Object reference feature in the Image 4 model? If so, the Object reference is not available in Image 4. 

Are you getting issues with the reference image not being followed in Model 4? If yes, could you post some generated results and the composition reference image?

 

 

Let us know. Happy to help.

Thanks,

^KR
