What is Chiaroscuro Silhouettes SREF style

Chiaroscuro Silhouettes is a dramatic artistic style that merges the high-contrast lighting of Chiaroscuro with the bold forms of silhouettes. Instead of flat outlines, this technique uses deep shadows and sharp, selective highlights to sculpt figures, creating a sense of volume and mystery. When used in a Midjourney prompt, it produces stunning visuals characterized by intense darks and glowing, often warm-toned lights that carve out the subject from the background. This approach is perfect for creating emotive, elegant portraits and moody scenes where the interplay of light and shadow tells a story.

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.
