What is Stark Rendering SREF style

The High Contrast style focuses on extreme tonal separation, utilizing deep blacks and bright whites to eliminate mid-tones, resulting in powerful, graphic imagery. This aesthetic is highly effective in photography and illustration where drama and texture are key. When crafting a **Midjourney prompt**, incorporating terms that enforce this visual tension, like 'chiaroscuro' or 'silhouetted', helps solidify this **style**. Mastering this **style** allows for compelling compositions where subjects leap out from the background, making it a staple in stylized portraiture and cinematic scenes.

Stark Rendering Prompt Ideas

  • A lone figure standing on a wet city street at midnight, extreme high contrast black and white photography, strong neon reflections
  • Close up of ancient weathered stone texture, sharp edges, deep shadows defining every groove, hyperrealistic high contrast
  • A massive, stylized mechanical bird perched on a minimalist metal beam against a bright sky, graphic novel style, high contrast
  • Still life of dramatic shadows cast by exotic fruits on a white marble counter, intense spotlighting, high contrast

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?
