Welcome to Perfection Cinematic!
This is an Illustrious XL merge with a bunch of hand-selected checkpoints and LoRAs to improve the base model's realistic capabilites.
This is a special branch-off for cinematic flavor and for when you need your images to be extra juicy and well-lit!
It's focus is on creating high quality, photorealistic and cinematic images with a focus on women.
Do not use the Normal scheduler. Use Simple or Beta!
Use euler_a, dpmpp_2m_sde or dpmpp_3m_sde as your sampler.
Each sample/preview image contains the used workflow. Here's a quick article with simpler more beginner-friendly workflow. This is a recommended starting point.
To use the faster low-step settings, you need to use the DMD2 LoRA. This allows you to use 8 or 16 steps and generate very fast. Remember to generate in 2 passes, either using "Hires fix" in Forge/A1111, or by creating and chaining a second sampler node in ComfyUI. A sample workflow if included in the sample images of the model. Use this as a reference.

All the models are good, but I have to say that Cinematic 2.0 is unbeatable. You’ve truly set a new standard for me there. Believe me, I’ve tested all of them, including Realistic etc. My wish would be to take Cinematic 2.0 as the foundation and work on making it even better. If you do that, you’ll be miles ahead of everyone else.
Thanks for the kind words. I do think that v2 is super strong as well. It's my preferred version too. Similar to v4 of Perfection.
Could you share a few images that you think are good with the models and ping me? Would like to see how you use it.
