Visible film grain, gentle glow in bright areas, creamy shadows, vintage lens quirks (like halation and swirl), plus subtle color shifts. Nothing clean, sterile or digital. Just raw, organic, breathing analog vibes. Experimental merges, so not perfect.<ul><li>No cherry-picking or upscaling/refining - simple workflow for straightforward evaluation.</li><li>Each image in gallery was generated using the same seed.</li><li>Workflows and prompts are included in the images (dl and drag to ComfyUI)</li><li>Flux Klein 9b v2 is based on FLUX.2-klein-base-9B</li><li>Flux Klein 9b v1 is based on FLUX.2-klein-9B (distilled)</li><li>Both models work with txt2img and img2img</li><li>Both models work with LoRAs (tested with up to 3 + sliders)</li></ul>Settings for FLUX.2-klein-9B V2 (model for rich natural detail that looks best at ~2 MP ~ full HD)<ul><li>SAMPLER: exp_heun_2_x0_sde (top choice for this model)</li><li>STEPS: 20-30</li><li>CFG: 1 (yes, ONE)</li></ul>Settings for FLUX.2-klein-9B V1 (model for quick generations, but quality is still good)<ul><li>SAMPLERS: er_sde, res_multistep, dpmpp_2m_sde, seeds_3</li><li>STEPS: 4 - 9</li><li>CFG: 1 - 1.4</li></ul><h3 id="img2img-workflow:-click-here"><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2342463?modelVersionId=2634860">img2img workflow: click here</a></h3><h3></h3><h2 id="previous-models:">Previous Models:</h2><h3 id="vintagebeauties-zit-(based-on-z_image_turbo_bf16)">VintageBeauties ZIT (based on Z_Image_Turbo_bf16)</h3><h3 id="samplerscheduler-combos-to-try:">Sampler/scheduler combos to try:</h3><ul><li>dpm2_ancestral / sigmoid_offset (great contrast and shadows, depth, artistic)</li><li>er_sde / ddim_uniform (gives analog look to photo without LORAs)</li><li>lcm_custom_noise / linear_quadratic (gives that special render'ish SD 1.5 artificial look)</li></ul>Krea: Play around with the Guidance values between 1 and 13 — though going as high as 20 also works.
