Moonmilk Contrast is a checkpoint focused on soft, clean color contrast. It emphasizes a balanced blend of pastel and rich tones: muted blues, milky whites, and deep blacks form a striking yet gentle palette. Light skin is rendered with a soft glow and natural tone, while highlights on hair and fabric appear smooth and glossy without overwhelming the image. The palette is built on the visual harmony of warm and cool tones, enhancing both material texture and emotional aesthetics. Ideal for portrait illustration with a focus on light and color.
⚠️ Attention ⚠️
The Moonmilk Contrast 8steps model works flawlessly and generates stunning images with Sampling Steps ranging from 8 to 15 and a CFG Scale between 1.2 and 1.8, depending on the level of detail in your prompt. These settings provide a perfect balance between quality and speed, producing vibrant and sharp results with exquisite contrast.

Thanks 6tZ
For the face, it is necessary to use ADetailer

Neural_Lens Ooo I'm excited to try it. Thanks!
benjamyn812 Now you have the opportunity to try 😉
"it is Necessary to use ADetailer"
was gonna try the model but, and not saying use ADetailer is bad or anything, models that require it, to me at least, are going backwards in advancements, not forward.
Interesting) Show me at least one model that makes long shots of her face perfect? There are none and it is unlikely that there will be any soon)
None of the images I generated with this model used ADetailer, just a regular upscaler. Faces look great to me without ADetailer.
I did use adetailer, but legit didnt need it. People that are very distant are kinda bad, but that is literally every single model available right now.
@Neural_Lens No need to be so defensive and condescending. I swear these 'creators' act like their gods or something.
@rivdemon1221554 What?
You're broadly applying your own personal preferences as the rule of measure to gauge advancement. If a model is focusing on style, or adherence to prompt, or whatever, than an improvement in that area is would also be an advancement.
Regarding adetailer usage, it is absolutely necessary in almost all images using faces, human or otherwise. The issue is pixel density of the original image. Faces can only be so detailed at distance. It's like how in movies techies can magically "enhance" an image and zoom in. No can do if the pixel density is thin. If you don't like using adetailer that's fine, but if we are using the lens of "face quality equals the best" than the majority of images using adetailer are superior to those that do not.
That being said, i haven't even used this model. I'm just baked AF roaming civitai trying to find models to make fat furries with.
I'd like to note that I understand that ADetailer is needed for further away images on most models... and i didn't fully understand the part that said "For full-length works or long-range plans" as when i first read that, I thought it was talking about something separate from the ADetailer part.
So, I do apologies for the misunderstanding.
However i will say that @rivdemon1221554 is right that the way you responded to my comment @Neural_Lens could have been less condescending (as starting with "interesting" then continuing with "show me at least" is a form of being overly defensive and slightly patronizing) as I was never trying to come off aggressive about your model and was just stating my own personal opinion at the time.
I never once mentioned "perfect faces", and never mentioned that a said model even existed at the time of my comment. I merely stated that I do not feel that having to use something like ADetailer, for me, counts as an advancement.
Everyone's views on any topic are different, and that aside, I wrote that comment with a misunderstanding as to why it was needed as i did not process the whole description of your model properly, and that part is my fault alone, and I apologies for that.
@Tundra1996 Just a translation detail. Everything's fine.
