What is Fine-Line Etch SREF style

The Engraving style is defined by its incredibly detailed, high-contrast black and white aesthetic, mimicking historical printing techniques like etching and woodcut. This style relies heavily on fine parallel lines (hatching) and dots (stippling) to render shading, depth, and texture, resulting in rich, intricate visuals. When utilizing this style in **Midjourney**, a detailed **prompt** focusing on texture and contrast yields results that look meticulously crafted. This specific **style** is excellent for creating dramatic portraits, complex landscapes, or decorative patterns with a timeless, antique feel.

  • Close-up portrait of an astronaut's helmet reflecting a nebula, intricate line art, stipple shading, monochrome
  • An ornate keyhole revealing a vast ocean view beyond, detailed pen and ink illustration, fine lines, dramatic contrast
  • A bustling medieval market scene, look of an antique woodcut engraving, high density of detail

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.
