What is Stipple Engraving SREF style

This aesthetic captures the detailed, moody atmosphere of traditional stipple engraving and detailed etching techniques. It relies heavily on high contrast and dense granular textures—often achieved through stippling—to define form, typically utilizing a monochromatic or restricted earth-tone palette like sepia. When generating images in Midjourney, using this concept in your prompt yields striking results with strong depth and texture, perfect for dramatic character portraits or atmospheric, low-key landscapes. Mastering this specific rendering **style** via a detailed **prompt** allows for unique, classic visual narratives easily adapted for **Midjourney** compositions.

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.
