What is Relief Cut SREF style

The Woodcut style is defined by its striking, high-contrast aesthetic, mimicking traditional relief printing techniques like wood engraving or linocut. It relies heavily on bold black shapes, dense hatching for shading, and stark white areas for highlights, creating a dramatic and graphic visual impact. When incorporating this style into a **Midjourney** **prompt**, you achieve results rich in texture and sharp edges. This **style** is highly effective for subjects requiring strong silhouettes or a classic, illustrative narrative feel, moving away from photorealism towards graphic artistry.

Relief Cut Prompt Ideas

  • A towering futuristic skyscraper viewed from below, extreme high contrast woodcut illustration, deep black shadows, detailed hatching
  • Portrait of an ancient Greek philosopher surrounded by swirling foliage, linocut engraving style, monochromatic, intense focus
  • A detailed still life of astronomical tools and star charts, dramatic chiaroscuro, heavy ink wash texture, woodcut art
  • Mysterious forest clearing under a massive full moon, layered landscape, stylized black and white illustration

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.
