What is Paul Outerbridge Midjourney Prompt

Paul Outerbridge was an American photographer celebrated for his pioneering work in early color photography, especially the carbro-color process. His distinctive style is marked by vibrant, highly saturated colors, dramatic lighting, and sharp, modernist compositions that blur the line between commercial and fine art. When used in a Midjourney prompt, it produces images with a rich, painterly quality, reminiscent of 1930s and 40s fashion. This aesthetic is perfect for creating striking portraits and still lifes with a sophisticated, vintage, and slightly surreal feel, characterized by high contrast and meticulously arranged elements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
