What is Linocut SREF style

The Linocut style is characterized by bold, simplified forms created through relief printing techniques. This visual representation utilizes a stark, restricted color palette, heavy texture, and high contrast where shadows are rendered as solid blocks of color, reminiscent of block printing on paper. When generating images in **Midjourney**, using this **style** descriptor yields graphic, striking compositions perfect for posters or illustrative art. To achieve this distinctive look in your **prompt**, emphasize flat color areas and the characteristic tactile grain of the printing surface.

Linocut Prompt Ideas

  • A striking portrait of a roaring lion, bold Linocut illustration, deep indigo and cream limited palette, heavy texture
  • Italian countryside hills during golden hour, graphic Woodcut illustration, deep green and ochre tones, strong grain effect
  • Close-up of vintage cassette tapes, stylized Linocut graphic design, high contrast, restricted color palette
  • A mysterious figure reading a book under a single lamp, dramatic Linocut style, only two colors used, highly stylized

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?
