What is Textured Monochrome SREF style

This style emphasizes intricate textures, deep contrast, and atmospheric depth using only grayscale tones. It often incorporates visible grain or fine cross-hatching reminiscent of traditional printmaking or high-fidelity film photography. When crafting a **prompt** for **Midjourney**, specifying details about light interaction and texture (e.g., granular, velvety, etched) is crucial to achieve this rich visual **style**. This approach is excellent for creating dramatic portraits, moody landscapes, and detailed still lifes that focus purely on form and light structure without the distraction of color.

Textured Monochrome Prompt Ideas

  • A detailed portrait of an elderly artisan in their workshop, deep shadows, high contrast, visible film grain, textured monochrome
  • Misty mountain range at dawn, heavy fog obscuring the base, dramatic atmospheric perspective, highly detailed B&W rendering
  • Still life composition of antique apothecary bottles and dried botanicals on a wooden sill, sharp focus, granular texture, high fidelity monochrome photography
  • Close-up of mechanical gears and intricate clockwork mechanisms, deep blacks and bright highlights, sharp focus, etched texture

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.
