And plain-language image editing for Krea 2.V2 ships as two LoRAs:🧑 Krea 2 Identity Edit V2: put a person from one reference photo into any scene, pose, outfit and lighting. Extremely improved likeness, better sharpness and textures, much more freedom to restage. ✂️ Krea 2 General Edit V2: say what to change: remove people or objects, recolor, relight, change the season, swap backgrounds, add objects, rewrite sign text, change outfits, restyle, turn an outfit into a flat lay.Use one LoRA per task. Loading both at 1.0 breaks the image (~0.6 each if you want them combined).⚠️ Requires the ComfyUI-Krea2Edit nodes (v2.0.0+): <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/lbouaraba/comfyui-krea2edit">https://github.com/lbouaraba/comfyui-krea2edit</a> Stock nodes won’t work; the LoRAs need the nodes’ image conditioning.📍 New in the nodes: reference placement. Choose per reference image whether it’s pinned onto the output layout (<code>aligned</code>) or placed next to it (<code>beside</code>).
