    So, this is another quality restore 2 steps pipeline. Use both loras in presented (or built in second image) workflow (I tried them both in 1 single pass - wasn't very good as I remember, but may be wrong, it was late night).

    TLDR:

    Denoise lora - maid to clean grain from pics (sometimes Klein and other models thinks that grain is ok and lefts it, and don't do with picture nothing).

    Overall quality lora - for enhance image quality (it was maid first, but works not always because of grain), it is pretty good at deblur.

    ===========================================

    Flux 2 model take from here (v1): https://civarchive.com/models/2339723/flux2-klein-9b-true?modelVersionId=2631758

    Yeah, there's v2 version now, but I did some tests and results was not very good (default flux2 9b base model also works not very good).

    Denoise trigger: d3gr4in, delete grain from this photo

    Overall quality trigger: f1xThephoto, fix this photo (add ", restore the image quality, remove any compression artefacts, remove any haze and soft edges, create a professional photorealistic photograph with natural lighting" for better result).

    Overall quality lora (lora 2) inspired by this: https://civarchive.com/models/2474084/ultimate-upscaler-klein-9b

    which works fine almost all the time, but I got one old photo on which I test pretty often various new stuff and upscaler lora (and all the others I tried) doesn't affects on it. So, I start to dig, created my own quality recover lora (lora 2 here), noticed that it's also not working on old photo, noticed that Klein2 and much others just sees photo grain and thinks that it is normal and not cleans it, so I create one purpose kinda denoise lora (lora 1 here) which cleans photo of grain and some other pixel stuff, and than Klein 2 can see beyond the grain fog.

    Not tested it all much, believe it may not work for some special photos.

    For addition - you can upscale result with SeedVR2 (not included in wf, maybe other day).

    Known issues:

    Denoise lora:

    *sometimes removes freckles from faces (and some other small repeating details). May be fixed by using additional consistent edit lora for flux2 (this works nice https://civarchive.com/models/1939453/consistence-edit-lora?modelVersionId=2810265, better than 20260416 release).

    Overall quality lora:

    *sometimes can turn night into day in landscape pictures.

    *may increase lips color (and makes colors brighter than on original picture, I trained it that way, but now I think it can change sometimes whole mood of the picture).

    Description

    Use this in pair with Denoise lora in presented workflow (not at the same time, workflow separates them in two steps).
