What is Decayed Analog SREF style

This style captures the essence of aging analog film, characterized by warm, desaturated color palettes, noticeable film grain, and soft focus effects. It lends a deeply nostalgic and sometimes eerie atmosphere to generated images, blending the familiar with the uncanny. When crafting a Midjourney prompt, incorporating terms like "faded colors," "1970s photography," or "film stock imperfections" will help achieve this distinct visual style, making it excellent for evocative character studies and slightly surreal cinematic world-building within the Midjourney engine.

Decayed Analog Prompt Ideas

  • A lone astronaut standing on a perfectly manicured 1970s suburban lawn, flying saucers overhead, vintage photography, faded colors
  • Close up portrait of a young librarian wearing thick glasses, soft natural light, faded color film stock, highly detailed skin texture, vintage photography
  • Still life of antique clockwork mechanisms and dried flowers on a dusty windowsill, warm amber tones, high grain, vintage photography style
  • A noir detective examining a futuristic glowing device in a dimly lit 1950s diner, cinematic film still, subtle color bleed, moody atmosphere

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.
