What is Cinematic Bloom SREF style

This aesthetic is defined by the dramatic interplay of intense light and deep shadow, often featuring warm, golden highlights juxtaposed against cool cyan or teal tones, enhanced by soft lens flares and light bloom. It mimics the look of high-quality analog film photography or specific cinematic color grading. When using this approach in a **Midjourney** **prompt**, emphasizing terms like 'rim lighting,' 'volumetric light,' and 'golden hour' is crucial. The resulting images possess a moody, intimate, and highly atmospheric visual **style**, perfect for evocative character studies or dramatic scenes. Mastering this requires careful **prompt** construction to balance the intense light sources with the deep shadows.

Cinematic Bloom Prompt Ideas

  • Close-up portrait of an old musician reading sheet music in a dimly lit room, sharp shafts of golden afternoon light, lens flare, intimate detail
  • Interior scene of an abandoned Parisian cafe, dust motes visible in strong directional sunlight streaming through tall windows, teal and orange grading

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.
