What is Cinematic Graphic SREF style

This style is characterized by intense, saturated color palettes, often featuring high contrast between vibrant, warm highlights (like deep orange and yellow) and heavy, dark shadows, resulting in a dramatic, almost painterly effect. It heavily utilizes sharp detailing and strong linework, reminiscent of high-end graphic novels or stylized cinematic concept art. When using this aesthetic in a Midjourney prompt, specifying dramatic lighting and rich textures yields striking results. Mastering this prompt technique allows for creating immersive, emotionally charged visuals that blend illustration and realism.

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?
