What is Engraving SREF style

This visual aesthetic is characterized by high-contrast, detailed monochromatic renderings achieved through fine, dense parallel lines and cross-hatching, strongly referencing traditional book illustrations and printmaking techniques like engraving or etching. The overall presentation suggests an antique, parchment-like texture, creating a moody and intricate look. To successfully capture this nuanced look in **Midjourney**, your **prompt** must emphasize line weight and the absence of color. Utilizing this **style** results in images that feel timeless, sophisticated, and deeply textured, perfect for dramatic portraits or detailed nature scenes.

  • Close-up portrait of an old sage with deep wrinkles, hyper-detailed etching rendering, black ink on aged paper

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.
