    Tested 11 workflows last 2 days from higest rated . This one is a masterpiece. It took me some 10 min to get it to work but it was worth it.

    Just dialed down abit the postptocessing and it became the most real thing since i discovered comfy.

    I tried your other workflows they are top but this one is the real masterpiece.

    Lol, now I have to figure out what I did different in this one. I truly apprecaite teh comment. What was special abot this on ethat made it stand out? The Ksampler build?

    maurriciaphase99Feb 3, 2026

    @lonecatone23  This Ksampler build helps alot it's a noticeable upgrade vs the older ones. Also Optical Realism helps . I disabled the nsfw stuff , realism > nsfw.

    Also i noticed in your workflows the sage attention 3 actually works . First time i see it actually working. ( i was on auto sage until now).

    Optical realism is kind of cool, but it is lost on people who have hardly seen real photgraphs on paper before.

    If you run it a while, please let me know your settings. I have not had the opportunity to fully vett it.

    Thanks again for the compliment. I'd love for you to post an image or two.
