What is Engraving SREF style

This aesthetic captures the intricate detail and dramatic chiaroscuro of classical printmaking, primarily using fine line work, cross-hatching, and dense tonal variations rendered in monochrome. It strongly evokes the historical precision of Renaissance and Baroque etchings and copperplate prints. In **Midjourney**, generating this **style** requires focusing on line density and high contrast to mimic the manual process. A successful **prompt** leveraging this look results in stark, highly detailed compositions perfect for symbolic, allegorical, or academic subjects, emphasizing depth through meticulous linework.

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?
