Most SREF codes are filters. They adjust the tone, the palette, the mood — but they leave the structure of your prompt intact. SREF 3994 is different.
SREF 3994 renders subjects with summery warmth and adventure. Soft-wash watercolor, cool blues and warm golds, and a sense of seasonal journey define the output. Subjects feel sun-kissed, free, and filled with the spirit of exploration.
