What is Vivid Cinematic SREF style

This visual approach captures the rich detail and saturated yet natural coloring reminiscent of high-end cinematic photography or specific film stocks. It emphasizes textural elements, such as the crackled ceramic or the rough stones, combined with balanced composition and expressive lighting. When using this style in Midjourney, a successful prompt requires specifying high fidelity, rich color grading, and often referencing film photography keywords to achieve this modern, immersive look. It blends photorealism with an idealized, vibrant presentation, resulting in images that feel polished and deeply atmospheric.

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.
