The --style parameter fine-tunes the aesthetic of some Midjourney Model Versions. Adding a style parameter can help you create more photo-realistic images, cinematic scenes, or cuter characters.
Default Model Version 5.2 and the previous version 5.1 accept --style raw.
Model Version Niji 5 accepts --style cute--style scenic--style original or --style expressive
Model Version 5.1 and 5.2 Styles
The current default Model Version 5.2, and the previous model version 5.1 have one style, --style raw. The --style raw parameters reduces the influence of the default Midjourney aesthetic and works well for advanced users who want more control over their images or more photographic images.
