What is Neon Afterimage SREF style

This style captures the essence of late 1980s and early 1990s digital nostalgia, often using degraded video quality effects, neon gradients, and melancholic tones. In **Midjourney**, invoking the **Vaporwave** **style** often results in images featuring heavy scan lines, CRT monitor artifacts, soft pinks/teals, and elements juxtaposing classical art or lush nature with decaying technology. A successful **prompt** utilizing this aesthetic emphasizes mood and specific lighting distortions—like chromatic aberration—to achieve that distinct, dreamy, yet unsettling atmosphere prevalent in early internet culture visuals.

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).

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.
