What is Dark Collage SREF style

This aesthetic combines high-contrast black and white photography, often incorporating distressed textures, grain, and stark shadows reminiscent of old film prints or urban decay. The inclusion of bold, sparse color accents (like red) juxtaposed against the monochrome scenes creates a striking visual impact. When crafting a **prompt** for **Midjourney**, emphasizing high contrast, texture, and cinematic mood is crucial to achieving this dramatic **style**. This visual approach works exceptionally well for album covers or atmospheric character portraits, delivering an intense, moody narrative.

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?
