What is Contour Illumination SREF style

This visual style, characterized by intense **Rim Lighting**, focuses on dramatic separation of the subject from a deep black background. The strong, often warm-toned light traces the edges of figures and objects, creating stark silhouettes and a powerful, moody atmosphere. When utilizing this **style** in **Midjourney**, precision in controlling light sources is key. Effective **prompt** engineering often involves specifying colors (like orange or gold) and emphasizing high contrast to achieve this striking, backlit effect perfect for cinematic portraits or atmospheric, minimalist compositions.

Contour Illumination Prompt Ideas

  • A close-up portrait of a young woman with curly hair, intense golden rim lighting, deep black background, vector illustration
  • A lone futuristic skyscraper piercing the clouds, sharply defined by bright cyan backlighting against a deep void, cinematic, high contrast
  • Still life of a delicate dried flower arrangement in a clear glass vase, illuminated only by a bright orange horizon line underneath, photorealistic
  • An ancient ruin landscape during a total eclipse, the sun visible as a perfect orange ring casting harsh edge light on the foreground structures

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.
