A versatile photorealistic checkpoint
Built for high-quality artistic and creative image generation.
It delivers strong results across a wide range of styles and subjects, with excellent anatomy, lighting, skin detail, and overall coherence. Fully capable of both refined SFW artistic work and high-quality NSFW content.
Recomended Models (civitai does not let me order them)
Why SDXL and Krea 2?
These are the most flexible models that can handle both SFW and NSFW without losing too much detail. I tried Flux, ZIT, and similar models — nothing came close to the results I got with SDXL and Krea 2. So I maxed out my SDXL model and began working on Krea 2.
NOTE: INT8 version is a bit faster on older GPU's the output is recognizably different, but people and scene in general looks similar to fp8 (the output is better or worse than fp8 based on the seed and prompt).
Recommended Settings
SDXL
Steps: 40
CFG Scale: 5.5
Sampler: exp_heun_2_x0_sde
Scheduler: gits
Resolution: 832 × 1216 (2:3)
Krea 2 Turbo (Recommended over Full because it is faster and looks better IMO)
Steps: 8
CFG Scale: 1.0 (after a bit of experimentation this value can be set between 0.925 - 1.075 and result can be better or worse)
Sampler: exp_heun_2_x0_sde > euler > euler_cfg_pp > euler_ancestral_cfg_pp and LCM shows promise
Scheduler: sgm_uniform > beta_1_1 > normal/simple, and maybe ays_30
Resolution: 832 × 1216 (2:3)
Krea 2 Full (Alternative option)
Steps: 20+ (very slow so higher means more time to generate)
CFG Scale: 4+ (not sure here, same for Sampler + Scheduler)
Resolution: 832 × 1216 (2:3)
Krea 2 Advanced
Text Encoder (Abliterated): https://civarchive.com/models/2731465/qwen3-vl-4b-abliterated-comfyui-krea-2-text-encoder-bf16-fp8?modelVersionId=3070870
VAE (Clear): https://civarchive.com/models/2151326/qwen-imageclearvae
Note: You can use the text encoder and VAE either separately or together, depending on the result you want. The text encoder changes the output significantly (use with caution), while the VAE mainly affects contrast which can be beneficial or undesirable depending on the image (I would probably avoid the VAE for photorealistic amateur-style images that are intentionally meant to look low-quality and low-contrast).
Krea Gone Wild (1.0-2.0)
Play with this (if you have it) to get a different output when all else fails to produce what you want.
