What is Cinematic SREF style

This visual presentation captures a rich, high-fidelity aesthetic reminiscent of professional film stills or editorial photography. The imagery benefits from deep textural rendering, evocative color grading (often favoring earth tones or rich reds), and dramatic use of light and shadow to create mood. To replicate this high standard in **Midjourney**, a strong **prompt** emphasizing realism, detail, and atmosphere is crucial. This approach ensures every element, whether landscape or portrait, carries a powerful visual weight, defining the resulting image's dramatic **style**.

Cinematic Prompt Ideas

  • Vast rolling arid mountains, isolated small red roof house in a field of yellow wildflowers, dramatic volumetric lighting, cinematic composition
  • Close-up portrait of an androgynous figure with intricate gold tribal markings and deep red facial paint, moody studio lighting, highly detailed skin texture
  • Rustic still life of preserved walnuts, antique glass jars of yellow eggs, dried grasses, and a dark wine bottle on a weathered wooden table, warm amber lighting
  • A solitary figure walking down a dusty path toward impossibly large, textured desert hills, vibrant earth tones, anamorphic lens flare, high contrast

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.
