What is Cinematic Flare SREF style

Cinematic Flare captures a nostalgic, high-contrast aesthetic dominated by intense backlighting and prominent lens artifacts, such as pronounced light leaks and bokeh. This style features soft focus, deep shadows, and a hazy, ethereal quality, often utilizing a desaturated base with warm orange or cool blue highlights. When crafting a prompt in Midjourney, incorporating terms like 'anamorphic lens flare' or 'sun flares' effectively reproduces this beautiful, evocative visual mood, perfect for intimate portraits or sweeping landscape shots.

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.
