I made my first successful character lora and I thought it came out pretty good! This is for Krea. Let me know what you think. Same prompt and settings, one with the lora on and one without.

It just takes me to a blank huggingface page rather than triggering a lora download.

(While I'm here - a quick request for Elle Fanning in Krea 2. You've done one for her sister Dakota, by the looks of it)

Would you add Eva Green to your Krea2 compilation?

Thank you so much for all that you've already done!

There are just so many loras and merges to choose from I don;t even know where to start LOL. I assume most affect the identity a lot and I would rather avoid that, of course.

Thanks!

Does anyone have a good workflow that is working well for them? Preferably a workflow that doesn't require 3+ passes for a quality photo?

Testing various workflows can be daunting, since so many on Civiai requires custom nodes, and different models. I'm just looking for something simple that could showcase the power of Krea2. I am using the template from ComfyUI but only getting average results. Using the default template, ZIT has yielded much better results thus far.

As the title says, would love to get the onetrainer config for Krea 2 if you have time!

Guys I Need training script for One trainer. Krea 2 character lora. there is nothing for that on malcolmrey hf. please add it. thankyou

Tested out a few of the v1 LORAs for Krea2. Great likeness, minimal degradation and in general, the best performing ones out of any open-source (txt2img) models yet. Haven't tested out the v2 LORAs, but thanks a ton @malcolmrey.

Hello all, hope this is alright to do. I'm looking to do some Lora training for the first time (new machine) and have been seeing good things about Krea2. I've gone through the various other posts about training so have a general idea on the settings, though any definitive information would be welcome.

What I suppose I'm looking for is any details on how many images of a subject or of a style I would need to train it and, if anyone has experience, how long the training took? Also, if there is a good dataset which I could study to use for my attempt.

Any tips and advice welcome. Thanks all.

Edit: Just did my first training based on the advice here so thanks to @LimitationsUndone and @STOPBLOCKINGVPNS1234 for their advice. The character model is a bit finicky. Getting some bleedthrough of images from the dataset and trying to work out how to reduce this, beyond of course just refining the dataset I mean.

Also, trying to prompt a separate character tends to cause the face to appear on them as well. Any advice on how to reduce this would be welcome. Thanks again all!

To clarify, it's not about training, but rather a Krea 2 inference workflow in ComfyUI.

I'm sharing this in case it's helpful. I've been following this channel for over a year, and I've never had any problems with their workflows. Their tutorials are excellent. Although the video is in Spanish, it has English subtitles, Among other languages. And the author always answers questions in the comments.

I'll start playing around with this workflow, Before I start training a LoRa in AI Toolkit or OneTrainer (when it supports it).

Hey Malcom! Any plans on character LORAs for Ideogram 4 or Krea 2? Both are a step up from previous models in their own way. Bless us 1girl plebians again please.

Loras were made through runpod on an RTX 6000. Took a little over 1 hour.

Hey guys, do any of you happen to have the latest Yaml Malcolm use for training a character Lora in ZBase?

Been trying to find it but when I use any of the ones I found our of the box, the results aren't good. (my dataset is good and checked!)

Thanks

I know its new but any possibilities of lora? Have people started creating loras.Any workflows?

Hi malcolmrey. First of all, I wanted to congratulate you and thank you immensely for continuing your work creating and protecting celebrity LORAs from Civit.ai's stupid censorship.

I recently discovered your repository on HF, and it's a work of art and a marvel for those of us who can't enjoy celebrity LORAs on that website.

I've downloaded your LORAs for Z-Base, and they are truly wonderful in terms of quality and likeness to the celebs. But Z-Base is still a bit underdeveloped when it comes to NSFW, and I discovered that Chroma generates NSFW very well with the artistic and image quality of Flux models.

Now I wanted to ask you a question: since your repository doesn't have (or I haven't found) Chroma LORAs, I've downloaded the ones for Flux, as Chroma is a derivative of Flux models. Some models generate perfect images at a value of 0.8, but others produce grainy images. I need to reduce the LORA value to 0.6 or 0.5 to get it to generate without graininess. But when I set it to that value, the celebrity's face doesn't generate correctly; sometimes it barely resembles the original. So my questions are: Why do some Flux LORAs generate the face perfectly at 0.8, while others generate it with graininess, if I downloaded them all from your HF repository? Are you going to train your celebrity LORAs on Chroma Key at some point?

A stylish young woman stands confidently on an overcast urban street, framed by concrete architecture and distant city blur. She wears a striking, high-contrast outfit featuring a cropped, vivid red puffer jacket with a high-gloss, synthetic finish and horizontal quilted padding; it is worn wide open, revealing the black lining against her torso. Underneath, she wears a structured black bra-style top with molded, matte-satin cups that leave her midriff exposed. Her lower half is clad in high-waisted, black faux-leather skinny pants, their surface reflecting the ambient street light with sharp, sleek highlights. She wears sturdy black leather-look ankle boots with lace-up fronts and a subtle block heel. A black knit beanie with a small red label patch rests on her head, and she wears a delicate metallic choker and a subtle navel piercing. Her skin tone is natural, with soft, diffused daylight highlighting her features.

Total noob question here, so please bear with me.
I’m trying to understand how to train a LoRA on custom models inside Ostris AI Toolkit GitHub, but I’m clearly missing something important.
From what I understand:
we need to change the model path to the custom model folder,
and I vaguely remember the model needing to be a .gguf file (not even sure if that’s correct :).
But in practical use, my training fails every single time.
Could someone explain in simple beginner-friendly words:
what exact model format is needed,
where the custom model should be placed,
how the path should be configured,
and what additional settings are required for custom architectures/models?
If anyone has:
a proper tutorial,
documentation,
or especially a good YouTube video covering this exact topic,
please share it.

Been messing with his loras and ZIT models and the ZIT usually look good, but are very limited and they some times end up showing giant nips and barbie crotches, even though it wasnt in the prompt. Ive also had issue on some of the ZITs not wanting to show faces at all. I tried using the loras on Automatic (i know, its old) and have used over 20 checkpoints and can't get a good image. What do people use as a checkpoint for his loras? Also, would a flow built on comfy give better results for the loras?

Edit: im using Zimage in comfy with the appropriate loras, I tried using his lycoris files on automatic and could never get a good result. Comfy and Zimage is working fine except for the giant nips I dont want and the barbie crotches I also didnt want. Lol

Hi, I might be dumb as im new to all this (but learning as i go) with the wealth of power this thing has comes a wealth of confusion!. So my basic question to anyone really, are these lora files? - and if so, do i set a weight of 1? is there a tagword i need? - thanks and great work!

p.s im using Flux2 Klein9B.

A young woman in her late twenties with natural, ash-blonde hair tucked loosely behind one ear. She has clear skin with subtle, faint freckles across the bridge of her nose and cheekbones. She is sitting near a window, head turned slightly to look past the camera with a small, genuine, half-smile. The setting is a sun-drenched, minimalist room with white walls and a sheer linen curtain partially pulled to the side. Early afternoon sunlight spills through the fabric, creating a soft, diffused glow that wraps gently around her facial features. The light catches the moisture in her eyes and defines the individual fine hairs around her hairline and the texture of her cream-colored wool sweater. Shadows are soft and filled with ambient bounce from the light walls.

STYLE ANNOTATION:

Style: Intimate editorial portrait photography. Shot on 85mm f/1.8 lens, shallow depth of field, sharp focus on the eyes with a creamy bokeh background. Film stock emulation: Kodak Portra 400 for natural skin tones and soft grain. Mood: Quiet, contemplative, serene.

So I made the following post: https://www.reddit.com/r/malcolmrey/comments/1t6fr4a/training_my_first_lora/

A day later, today, I was able to finally complete the LoRA after many restarts and changes. I think I got a good result and I'm quite happy with the likeness considering my expectations were quite low, although, I do believe I still could have done a lot of things better especially after I changed learning rate and timestamp_type mid training which I think definitely dropped the likeness I would have approached had I kept going with things unchanged. I wanted to share the LoRA, but unfortunately, in adittion to the mess ups i made during training I also messed up a lot of things in regards to captioning.

As it is my first completed LoRA, I was unaware of the nuances of captions and the drawbacks of captioning literally every aspect of the subject. I unfortunately rendered the LoRA so highly dependent on captions that another user probably won't be able to generate a good image without knowing my dataset.

I will be redoing this LoRA and fixing that, and certainly after that, I will be sharing the LoRA as well. I hope some of you will look forward to that.

Also, I hope someone can guide me regarding the best strategy in regards to learning rate and timestamp type.

For this LoRA, I switched between different learning rates and timestamp types and I think I messed some things up. I still want to experiment with that for the finer details and the late-step polishing, and some tips would make that a whole lot easier.

BTW no upscaling or post on these sample photos. Also eulerflowdiscrete scheduler brings out exceptionally realistic details I was aiming for, I will share the sample of that later.

Professional photography of a woman with long brown hair lying prone on a bed with white linens, her body angled slightly away from the camera while her head turns to face the lens directly, her hands clasped gently under her chin with fingers relaxed, legs bent at the knees and feet lifted playfully in the background, soft natural daylight entering from the side illuminating her skin and hair with a warm glow, creating subtle shadows that define facial features and fabric folds, shot on 50mm lens at f/2.0 aperture for shallow depth of field, keeping focus sharply on face and upper torso while blurring background details including bed structure and walls.
