What is High Contrast Ink SREF style

This visual representation is characterized by extreme High Contrast Ink, utilizing only stark black masses against a pure white background, reminiscent of graphic novel inking or traditional woodblock prints. The absence of grey tones creates dramatic, simplified forms and heavy shadows, especially noticeable in the portraiture. When creating images in Midjourney, emphasizing this binary aesthetic requires a careful prompt structure focusing on lighting and rendering technique. Mastering this graphic style results in bold, impactful visuals suitable for logos, posters, or striking narrative scenes.

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.
