Brightness Slider

@Loraholic ok. what is this Krea2 thing?

@Loraholic ah, didn't see you added it a few days ago. Thanks.

Hi Lonecatone, not all of us use comfy as an art tool. It does a poor job as an artist tool so LORA's like this help with my case as I do not fancy porting all Node to Reforge every single time.

@PixivTdog @PixivTdog Yes, and darkeness, skin tone, realism, etc, I totally get ( I use numerous ones of them), but why would I want to A) dirty up the model weights with yet anothr LoRA, which no matter how you slice or dice it will make other minor changes to the image, and B) have to completly reprocess the image to make a minor adjustment to film grain, white balance, tone, contrast, etc. and hope the LoRA responds accordingly when it can be done precisely without modifying any other aspect of the image with a simple node? Even their examples are drastically different.

Again, I love his(her) realism, detail, certain ...ahem.. size LoRAs, but some of these make no sense to me.

@lonecatone23 this is like complaining that a RAW photo editor gives you direct access to exposure, white balance, contrast, grain, and other controls, just because you could also stack separate adjustment layers or filters afterward. Those built-in sliders exist because they let you shape the image at the source, in a controled and more integrated way, not because outside nodes are impossible to use.

If you think adding another LoRA will muddy the weights or make your workflow worse, then just don't use it. But you still can't compare what a LoRA does to slapping a node on the final image that only adjusts pixels afterward.

A LoRA changes how the model generates the image in the first place, while a brightness, contrast, or temperature node is just post-processing. That's not even an apples to oranges comparison, it's more like an apples to steak one.

@Unscathed7928 I can totally compare them. If you have a LoRA that adjusts brightness, contrast, white balance, etc. I can totally compare them to nodes that do the same thing . That is absolutely apples to apples, and nodes win every time.

Again, lighting direction, skin tone, and other LORAs make sense as those are the items of the image you want to change. I doubt you would go "Oh, that image is absoluetly perfect, but it's a hair too dark. Let's completly renegerate it, not know exactly what will pop out, and hope for the best." Any power user will absolutely tell you that's what you are doing.

Any time you stack LoRAs, you are fighting with the block weights that LoRA affects. When you are trying to do character, styles, or other specific things, adding a ton of contrasting LoRAs means spending a ton of time making adjustments, especially when most can be overcome by prompting correctly.

If these work for you, then great! I love any tool that makes people generate better images. These are solid, just not really necessary.

@lonecatone23 I also get what ur saying and I've used both methods, and in fact I kinda like the "dirty" it adds creative design, the way I do things is mix and match and see how them numbers modify things, I think its creative design, depends on workflow and how u make images. I can give example of Loraholics XTurbo Film Grain Slider, Sure can use the node to add this as effects but it doesn't intergrade it into the image well to create certain themes that prompts can work with the lora weights. And if you use combine contrast LORA prompts you can get interesting effects. Light LORA with Dark prompts etc. I feel like i work differently than others and I don't really focus on getting "exact" copies of characters, as I've never even watched any videos or anything, just studied by myself. But with the new krea2-identity-edit most of these issues can be negated with Krea 2 it seems. But I am just a hobbyist I am not super technical. Just an artist.

@lonecatone23 Oh I forgot to say in your example. Perfect reason I use Neo, I can just paint problems away. Meanwhile Comfy users sat there fucking generating 10 copies of same images modifying prompts. -.-

@PixivTdog Then you basically tell me you post process in NEO instead of ComfyUi. 🤔

Making brightness adjustments, film grain adjustments, contrats adjustments, tone adjustments with a LoRA modifies the image.
Period....
End of story....
FX nodes and others accomplish similar if not better effects without regenerating the image, taking up space on your computer, muddying up the block weights, and can be controlled.
Again, if you want to use them, go for it.

@Loraholic I use your LoRAs. I know what they are and are not capable of. I tried this as well as the film grain and got better results with nodes. This is a matter of fact, not an opinion. This changes the image. Also, during this entire conversation I gave your LoRAs props because quite a lot of them are really good. I never insulted you or your work, but there are a few LoRAs made for the sake of making LoRAs.

Do you use my Workflows?

Perhaps you should look at your first featured image.

@Loraholic well, I apologize if I came off harsh. English is not my first language, and my first comment was "Love your work. Your skin tone and realism sliders are quite amazing"(which they are). That does not come across as an insult to me 🤔

Again, these modify the image instead of adjusting them like you'd typically expect of post processing, but you do you.

Peace 🙏

@Loraholic sure dude 🙄. Have a nice day

I didn't NOT like the sample image, but I do appreciate it.

@Loraholic This is a great lora. The exposure value can be a node for comfyui, but there is a limit to the post process. I call it 'sense of reality'.

And I'm also non-English speaking, so I always worry about it when I write comments :) Thank you always. I always support you.
