# Style

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.

#### Model Version 5.2

**`--v 5.2`**
