What is Graphic Noir SREF style

This style showcases rich, atmospheric scenes rendered with a distinct illustrative quality, balancing detailed elements with bold, graphic shapes, particularly visible in the character portrait and shadowed compositions. The technique often employs high contrast and a muted, cool color palette to create a deeply moody and cinematic feel. When using this approach in **Midjourney**, incorporating specific character design or lighting terms into your **prompt** is key to achieving this sophisticated, narrative-driven aesthetic, moving beyond simple drawing towards powerful visual storytelling inherent in this **style**.

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.
