What is Paper Cutout SREF style

The Paper Cutout aesthetic mimics tangible craft where elements are precisely cut from various textured papers (like felt, cardstock, or patterned sheets) and meticulously layered to build depth and dimension. This technique results in charmingly tactile images with strong silhouettes and visible texture variations, often featuring earthy or bright, cheerful color palettes. When using this as a **prompt** modifier in **Midjourney**, specifying the material (e.g., layered construction paper) helps achieve this dimensional illustration **style**. It is excellent for creating whimsical scenes, detailed portraits, or vibrant dioramas that look handmade.

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.
