See the guide in the recommended resources)Note: New version "Prodigy" was created to experiment with training settings compared to original. I noticed that the Illustrious versions of my black and white based LoRAs had bits of weird coloration that wasn't present on the Pony versions, so I decided to test if the problem was a result of training settings or the base model. The optimizer choice was the obvious place to start. I'd like more opinions before making a conclusion. Will try my other B&amp;W heavy LoRAs too at some point.

[IL] Mana (After War Gundam X: Under the Moonlight) / マナ (機動新世紀ガンダムX UNDER THE MOONLIGHT)

Retrained with Prodigy as optimizer to see effects. Is it the optimizer or Pony that handles B&amp;W datasets better?

Same as previous version but uses a different optimizer.
