Trigger word:cinelightX
Recommended usage:
Use LoRA strength between 0.5 to 1.0
Avoid going above 1.0 to maintain realistic results and prevent over-stylization
If you want stronger, more intense cinematic lighting, you can experiment slightly above 1.0 — but results may become stylized
Try using this LoRA and generate your own images — I’d love to see what you create.
Note:
This LoRA focuses on lighting enhancement and may slightly influence facial features depending on strength.
For best results, use consistent prompts when comparing with and without LoRA.
