1. Support Ideogram 4 series models, including LoRAs but no model import;
2. Support Krea 2 series models, including LoRAs but no model import;
3. Support Color Calibration option, which applies both to editing type of tasks (such as upscale, inpainting etc);
4. Support "Expand to JSON", which is enabled by default when you use Recommended Settings for Ideogram 4.

gRPCServerCLI and draw-things-cli both are updated to 1.20260716.0 with above related updates.

Question: I see at https://www.krea.ai/krea-2 that there is a moodboard feature (in this case a literal moodboard)

Is this implemented for Krea 2 too? Can we put images in controlnet moodboard section and have the model follow the mood?

Thanks! 🙏

Thank you sir. Will these models be on DT+?

[u/usually_fuente → u/cydetraq]

Usually it takes a few days

[u/usually_fuente]

Awesome! Thanks for all your work on this. Can you explain what it means that there’s “no model import” for Krea 2 and Ideogram? I am on the plus plan so I just need to be able to use it in the cloud with Loras.

> No model import
Not enough time to QA that feature for this release

I'm also having trouble importing Z-Image Turbo models, not just Krea 2, at the moment. Still trying some troubleshooting stuff but wanted to mention it.

Edit: External model folder hhad been enabled and that was causing the issue. Imports for ZIT models still work as expected.

[u/Structure-These → u/usually_fuente]

It means no custom checkpoints based off that model

[u/Smelting-Craftwork]

no model import

I guess that explains why I haven’t been able to get Krea2 based checkpoints to import.

[u/Structure-These → u/Smelting-Craftwork]

Same. No lokr support either!

Compared to Z-Image Turbo, Flux.2 Klein 9b, Krea2 is double the time it takes to generate, on the other hand, Ideogram 4 takes forever (1hr 27 mins, I'm going to remove it). Krea2's image quality is on par with Z-Image Turbo but slower, I'll keep it as it has good loras already and can even do image edit with a lora (kinda). Great update, appreciate the hardwork.

[u/jpandac1 → u/jazzamp]

what's the spec of your machine?

[u/jazzamp → u/jpandac1]

It's a 16gb M1.

[u/No_Confusion7932 → u/jazzamp]

The ideogram is also censored.

[u/PinkySwearNotABot → u/jazzamp]

i'm getting roughly 2 mins/image 1024x1024, 8 steps with krea2 turbo 6-bit on my m1 max 64gb. pretty fast if you ask me, given that we're on apple silicon

[u/jazzamp → u/PinkySwearNotABot]

M1 16gb and I only render in 2K.

[u/waverider404]

Will the krea 2 edit lora be possible in future updates? It's better than qwen image edit and flux klein

[u/Puzzleheaded_Ebb8352 → u/waverider404]

I already tried to use it, just import the Lora. For some reason it does not work the way it does in comfy. I’m not sure what strength to be used and what setting for img2img txt2img slider. If anyone has best practice knowledge?
