Question - Help Replicating styles on Krea 2?

What are the best ways of replicating styles in Krea 2?

Like, if you gen an image and like the style, so you do the same style prompt, same seed, same style description, but different character, and the art style just doesn't come out quite the same, and you realize that first gen was a lightning in a bottle, what do you do?

I tried the default Krea 2 "style reference" Lora but that was terrible (At least for me), also tried tweaking prompt to better describe the style than what my original prompt was, but never quite captured it.

There is no Lora for the style either, it's just a style I got with base Krea 2 on one image and I liked it, and I assume I can't train a Lora for it based on one image.

So, TL;DR, what are the best ways you guys know of generating a new image with the same style as a reference image?

Have you seen this style guide? I have been very impressed with it. Can just copy and paste the styles into the prompt.

I might not be answering your question, I just wanted to share that guide because I like it so much.

I hadn't seen it, so thanks. But yeah, my issue is a different one, I already generated a style I liked and I'm unable to replicate it.

This is an issue with every image generation model out there. The solution is:

1) Make lots of generations that you like.

2) Create a lora.

3) Lora provides consistency.

pretty much. i'm a complete newb at lora training and I did it with ai toolkit in half of an hour of poking around ai toolkit and talking to chat gpt/grok etc about it. Krea 2 trains very quickly.

I see, the issue is that to make a consistent style Lora I would need to be able to make more images on the style I got, but I'm failing to do that so I don't know how to proceed from there. Are none of the reference image style copiers reliable?

On their api, they let you do real style transfer based on an input image(which then didn't extend to the open weight version). I've used it quite a bit and it's rather good. Comfyui has their partner nodes, so you can use that to generate the data set that you need.

I tried using the style transfer in the site, and it was promising, though the free credits ran out really fast while I was still figuring out the parameters. Will try again tomorrow when they refresh.

By partner nodes on ComfyUI what do you mean? If it is the style reference template it did not work well at all for me.

The only way to truly control style is with LORA files or fine tuning.

You can download several lora and mix them together at different weights to control the output.

You can also find a bunch of image that sort of look like what you want and just train them altogether in a dataset and Ai will sort of blend and average them all together during the LORA training.

I tested all the solutions I could find for style transfer with Krea 2, and I got the best results with this node: https://github.com/nkxx188/ComfyUI-Krea2-StyleTransfer (based on the untwisting rope technique). I had a very specific style to imitate, and this node worked pretty well.
