Welcome to Perfection Amateur!This is an Illustrious XL merge with a bunch of hand-selected checkpoints and LoRAs to improve the base model's realistic capabilites.This is a special branch-off for cinematic flavor and for when you need your images to be extra juicy and well-lit!It's focus is on creating high quality, photorealistic but amateur style images with a focus on women.Each sample/preview image contains the used workflow. Here's a <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/articles/17080">quick article</a> with simpler more beginner-friendly workflow. This is a recommended starting point.Do not use the Normal scheduler. Use Simple or Beta!Use euler_a, dpmpp_2m_sde or dpmpp_3m_sde as your sampler.To use the faster low-step settings, you need to use the <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1608870/dmd2-speed-lora-sdxl-pony-illustrious">DMD2 LoRA</a>. This allows you to use 8 or 16 steps and generate very fast. Remember to generate in 2 passes, either using "Hires fix" in Forge/A1111, or by creating and chaining a second sampler node in ComfyUI. A sample workflow if included in the sample images of the model. Use this as a reference.<h3 id="recommended-settings">Recommended Settings</h3>Base Generation<ul><li>Steps: 30</li><li>CFG-scale: 3</li><li>Sampler: DPM++ 3M SDE</li><li>Scheduler: Simple (beta upscale scheduler)</li></ul>Upscale/Refine<ul><li>Steps: 16</li><li>CFG-scale: 4</li><li>Sampler: DPM++ 3M SDE</li><li>Scheduler: Simple</li><li>Denoise: 0.35</li></ul>
