Crystal Clear XL - Lightning
An all rounded model with extra attention to photorealism.
Trained from the ground up on modified versions of lightning and sdxl turbo, this iteration does not have a sample or cfg ceiling.
Model includes a multitude of features only available in Crystal Clear One aka RunDifussion Photo. Click for Features Preview
Generate images from 4 samples, and a CFG as low as 0.75, up to your own preference.
NOTE: High CFG values will require incremental adjustments to the number of samples, since it has a tendency to cause over exposure of the colors.

So happy to see this, it has been one of my favorite checkpoints since I discovered it months ago!
Can create images so realistic, some people can't tell they're AI generated
Works great with "CFG Scale" <=5
I took my first steps in AI image generation on an Australian website commonly abbreviated “NC.” When Crystal Clear Lightning was introduced along with several other SDXL Lightning checkpoints, “CCL” (as I like to call it for short) quickly became my favorite. It stood out from the others with its different aesthetic and bright colors (I later learned that the color intensity correlates with the CFG value and can be easily overcooked). For me, CCL is an all-around checkpoint that is equally suited for realism, fantasy, and artistic creations. In addition to the luminous colors and versatility, I particularly appreciate its ability to create aesthetically pleasing portraits. Some models focus on recognizability and tend toward caricature-like hyperrealism. Others are so heavily aesthetically idealized that all faces end up looking somewhat the same. In my opinion, CCL has struck just the right balance between realism/recognizability and aesthetic idealization to create beautiful, appealing portraits.
What a shame that I seem to be the only one still using this checkpoint. You can create such awesome results with it, when you find out how to play with the proper LoRAs and triggers.
For me using the DMD2 speed LoRA proved an incredibly useful step. Combine this with the Aquaart LoRA, or other style LoRAs, and the results are just "wow". I love it!
