What is Luminous Realism SREF style

Luminous Realism is an artistic style that masterfully blends high-detail realism with a profound emphasis on light. It captures subjects with lifelike accuracy but bathes them in a soft, ethereal glow, making light itself a central element of the composition. This technique creates a serene, often dreamlike atmosphere. In Midjourney, using a prompt for the Luminous Realism style will generate images that feel both tangible and magical, with skin, fabrics, and landscapes seemingly radiating their own inner light. It's ideal for creating captivating portraits and atmospheric scenes that are rich in both detail and emotion.

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?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
