What is Chrono-Decay SREF style

This unique artistic style merges photographic subjects with heavy intentional degradation, characterized by pronounced horizontal banding, color bleeding, and distressed, artifact-ridden borders. It creates a mood of intense nostalgia, decay, or digital glitch. When crafting a **prompt** for this aesthetic in **Midjourney**, integrating terms like "chemical damage," "scan lines," or "temporal distortion" is key to achieving this evocative and **style**-specific result, often emphasizing muted yet striking yellow and deep contrast tones.

Chrono-Decay Prompt Ideas

  • A faded portrait of a solitary figure standing by a window, extreme horizontal photo distortion, heavy color shift yellows and dark shadows, experimental photography style
  • Abstract still life of antique glass bottles, high contrast, chemical burn effect on the edges, moody lighting, ultra detailed analog film error
  • A vast oceanic landscape dissolving into bands of bright yellow and dark teal, motion blur texture, ethereal and mysterious, reminiscent of damaged Polaroid transfer
  • Close-up of an ancient robotic face revealing internal circuits through streaks of light, cinematic, distressed metallic texture, experimental photography

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.
