What is Distressed Lithograph SREF style

This aesthetic mimics the stark, high-contrast appearance of vintage printmaking techniques such as lithography or woodcuts, characterized by heavy texture, coarse lines, and a strictly limited, monochromatic palette, often black ink on aged, beige paper. In **Midjourney**, mastering this powerful graphic **style** requires careful **prompt** engineering focusing on texture maps, heavy dithering, and dramatic chiaroscuro to generate images with a deeply historical or editorial feel. This approach yields impactful results for portraits or scenes needing a raw, tangible quality.

Distressed Lithograph Prompt Ideas

  • A lone figure standing on a cliff overlooking a vast futuristic cityscape, graphic illustration, heavy black ink texture, monochromatic, aged paper background
  • Close up portrait of an old sea captain, highly detailed cross-hatching, high contrast black and white, reminiscent of 19th-century engraving
  • Vanitas still life with hourglass, candle, and exotic fruit, rendered as a distressed woodcut print, deep shadows, sepia tone
  • Triptych composition showing a journey through a dense jungle and a hidden temple entrance, black and beige tones, print texture details

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.
