What is Byzantine Iconography SREF style

This aesthetic is defined by rich, saturated colors, strong graphic outlines, and the heavy application of simulated gold leaf, particularly visible in halos and backgrounds. It draws heavily from historical religious panel painting traditions, offering a flat yet intensely decorative visual experience. When using this approach in **Midjourney**, crafting an effective **prompt** requires emphasizing materials like genuine gold, intricate filigree, and deep, moody tones to achieve this specific **style**. The resulting imagery often feels timeless, reverent, and exceptionally detailed, perfect for sacred or highly formalized subjects.

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?
