What is Monochrome Estampe SREF style

Monochrome Estampe is an elegant artistic style that combines the timeless appeal of black-and-white imagery with the textured quality of classic printmaking. 'Estampe,' French for print, suggests an aesthetic rooted in engraving or woodcut techniques, emphasizing strong lines and tonal contrast. In Midjourney, this style excels at creating sophisticated and atmospheric visuals, stripping away color to focus purely on form, light, and shadow. By using a 'Monochrome Estampe' prompt, creators can generate everything from poignant portraits to stark, graphic landscapes. This versatile style is perfect for achieving a refined, narrative-driven look with a touch of vintage charm.

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?
