What is Fine Etching Wash SREF style

This style captures the detailed precision and delicate coloring reminiscent of 19th-century scientific plates or magazine engravings. Characterized by fine line art overlaid with soft, translucent color washes, it evokes a sense of historical documentation or refined artistry. When using this approach in a Midjourney prompt, specifying a "Watercolor Illustration style" yields highly structured and finely rendered outputs, perfect for achieving a vintage, tangible texture that traditional digital rendering often misses. This particular style demands strong descriptive keywords for subject matter within the prompt to maintain accuracy.

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.
