    PhotorealTouch — realistic skin and photographic detail across multiple base models PhotorealTouch is a family of LoRAs designed to add natural skin texture, pores, fine vellus hair and more believable light response without forcing a new identity or art style. It can be used for portraits, fashion, characters and full-body photography, with both adult women and adult men. Choose the version that matches your base model • Z-IMAGE V1.0 — for Z-Image / Turbo workflows • SDXL v3 — for SDXL 1.0 checkpoints; start at 0.60, use 0.45–0.65 for subtle texture and 0.70–0.85 for stronger detail • SDXL v2.0 and SDXL V1 — earlier SDXL releases • PONY v1.0 — for Pony-based checkpoints • Illustrious — for Illustrious-based checkpoints • SD 1.5 version — for Stable Diffusion 1.5 checkpoints • FLUX — for compatible FLUX workflows Always select the matching version before downloading or generating. Recommended weights can differ between architectures. What it helps with • Natural pores and skin micro-texture • Less plastic-looking or airbrushed skin • More convincing facial detail and soft lighting • Photographic realism without imposing a fixed identity SDXL v3: tested workflow No trigger word is required. Useful prompt helpers include: realistic skin, natural pores, fine skin texture, raw photo. On already detailed or stylized checkpoints, start with a lower weight. See the reproducible SDXL comparison at weights 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8, including a no-LoRA control: https://civarchive.com/articles/35099/what-changes-when-lora-weight-changes-can-you-actually-see-a-difference Tips Compare the same prompt and seed with and without the LoRA, then adjust the weight before changing the checkpoint. Avoid stacking several strong detail enhancers. If PhotorealTouch improves your result, please publish it in the gallery and leave a review. User examples help document how the LoRA behaves across different checkpoints, lighting conditions and subjects.

    I respect you as a creator, you have great content. However, your example images are mediocre for Z-Image and you managed to set a 1k Buzz cost to download. Strange decision for your first lora!

    Strange decision for a Z-Image-Turbo lora that is basically forced to be lower quality than it can due to adapter. Very odd(or greedy) decision indeed.

    This is not my first LoRa. It's the first with Z-Image. Antway you’re right. I need to find the time to produce more images by finding the right parameters. I don’t like them either. It's an experiment. I didn't even want to set 1k buzzes, then I told myself, 'Anyway, at the beginning nobody will care of my LoRa...'

    @kossan I've posted some better ones. Little by little I'm finding the best settings. This is my first experience with Z-Image.

    kossanDec 2, 2025

    @vale777 I didn't mean the LoRA itself was specifically low quality.
    But you are kinda like.. telling on yourself here.
    You are posting a 1k buzz cost on something you got no experience on and that you are still trying to find the best settings for, and that is something you just think is "Ye, cool."?
    I understand you got experience in LoRA training in general, but you are kinda admitting yourself it doesn't apply 1:1, yet you take 1k Buzz cost for it, with a 50k goal.

    I mean listen, at the end of the day, you do you. If you think it's worth that, then by all means go for it. I respect the hustle.
    It just seems a bit out of touch, that's all.

    kossanDec 2, 2025

    @vale777 And on top of that, you are literally stating "It’s my first realistic LoRa and I need suggestions to improve.", yet to get access to give you free advice cost people 1k Buzz.
    Sure, it might be related to the entire series. But.. I think I paint a fair picture here.

    @kossan "It’s my first realistic LoRa and I need suggestions to improve." It dates back to when I made my first version of this LoRa, months ago. I don't have time to constantly update the LoRa profile and so the old writing has remained even if I have several products of LoRa in the meantime.

    @kossan It went like this: a few days ago on my MacBook I was trying Z-Image with ComfyUI and I was literally amazed by the quality and speed of this model and the well-deserved success it had. Then I remembered Civitai, where I hadn't been back for a long time and I saw that Z-Image was present. I thought to myself "why not make a version of my old LoRas with Z-Image?" And so I did. When I loaded I came up with this news of 1000 buzz. I said to myself, "but let's put it, it's only for three days then the model will still be free, in these three days maybe no one will be so interested as to spend a thousand buzz on this model". Then when I uploaded it I didn't have time to immediately dedicate myself to the production of quality images and the first crap that you all saw came out. Then, with the help of Gemini (who is a phenomenon in giving you valuable advice) I started producing decent images. That's all.

    kossanDec 3, 2025

    @vale777 Oh ye, Z-Image is very impressive! I agree! Can't wait for Z-Image-Base!

    Listen, my intention wasn't really to like bash on you or anything. It was just odd to see, you know?

    No offense but the sample images look way more AI'ish then vanilla Z-Images without any Lora.

    I've posted some others now that are definitely better. I really like the one of the elderly man.

    quick question, i see all images in the illustrious version are of women but the description says nothing specific about it. is it more optimized for outputting girls? or is this as usable for men as well?

    It can be used by both. Do some tests and see for yourself.

    I'm not gonna download it, because creator wants me to pay 1k buzz for his LORA.

    Are you serious or this is mistake?
