## Selfism AIO Krea 2 v.1.1 β the workflow behind Selfora
My signature preset-driven pipeline for realistic amateur / phone-photo generation. Tuned around Selfora v.2, but works with any Krea 2 model. The AIO version adds Edit, ControlNet and Colorgrade modes on top of the standard generation.

### π New in v1.1
- Reworked for Selfora v.2 β the whole pipeline (samplers, upscale, detailers, presets) is re-tuned around the new Selfora_v2_Krea 2 (realistic amateur checkpoint) - int8 | Krea 2 Checkpoint | Civitai
- Optional second pass β after the mid upscale you get a preview; a lot of the time it's already clean and you can stop there. Second pass OFF = rawer / more real, ON = extra polish for skin and close-ups. Your call per shot.
- Pixel upscale between passes (4xPurePhoto-RealPLSKR) on a simple ON/OFF toggle β clean hi-res with no mesh artifacts. Three previews (base β upscaled β final) so you see every stage.
- Separate eye + hair detailers β clean, open eyes and natural hair even on full-body or far-away shots, not just close-ups.
- Projector Tuner β push facial expression and prompt-following without adding any LoRA. Ships neutral; crank it for more emotion on portraits.
## What's inside
- Artfat LLM Prompter β image/text β prompt, on-device (no API). Dozens of ready selfie/amateur style presets.
- Face Style Preset β one-click phone-camera face presets for FaceDetailer (skin, grain, the "real" look).
- 2-pass generation with an optional, toggleable pixel upscale between passes (~1.5xβ2x), plus a pre-pass-2 preview so you decide when it's done.
- Eye + hair detailers and a skin-contrast pass for clean, real-looking faces at any distance.
- Projector Tuner β expression / prompt-following control, no extra LoRA.
- Edit Mode β Krea 2 Identity Edit: restage, change clothes, outfit transfer, masked local edits.
- ControlNet Mode β reproduce the pose & composition of a reference image.
- Colorgrade (LUT) β final-look grading, film grain, and a standalone image editor.
- Resolution reference table baked in β pick a ratio, go.
## How to use (standard generation)
1. Load Selfora v.2 (or any Krea 2 checkpoint).
2. Pick a preset in the LLM Prompter, drop a reference image (optional).
3. Choose resolution from the table β Run.
4. Check the previews β stop after the upscale if it already looks great, or let the second pass polish it.
No trigger words. Sampler + settings pre-dialed.
π‘ Quick tips: keep the shorter side around 1024 for best results. For open eyes, write "smiling softly, relaxed wide-open eyes looking at the camera" β a hard laugh tends to squint the eyes. Full setup + download links are in the "Model Links" note inside the workflow.

βοΈ EDIT MODE β Krea 2 Identity Edit
Instruction-based editing that keeps the subject's identity. Runs on the Turbo checkpoint.
LoRAs
krea2_identity_edit_v1_2 β general edit LoRA, handles all operations below.
krea_outfittransfer β dedicated outfit / clothing swap; trigger "transfer the outfit".
What it can do
Re-stage a person β keep the face, change scene/light: "Create a photo of this person at a night market"
Change clothing β "Change her black dress to a red dress"
Add / remove / replace β "Remove the necklace" / "Replace the woman with a big orangutan"
Outfit Transfer β apply an outfit from a reference: "replace the clothes of the woman in the image 1, transfer the outfit from the image 2"
Restyle whole image β "make it look like 90s film photography"
2-image compose β scene = Image 1, person = Image 2 (order is fixed)
Turn Edit Mode ON (Fast Groups Bypasser)
Load VAE for Edit Mode β krea2RealVae_v10 or Wan2.1_VAE_upscale2x_imageonly_real_v1 (the latter also gives a Γ2 upscale).
Enable reference image 1 (and image 2 if used).
ENABLE Krea2 identity edit.
DISABLE the first sampler ClownShark β required.
Two references β enable both ref toggles + Enable edit Image 2.
Mask edit (first image only): right-click the reference β Open in Mask Editor β paint the area β Save β ENABLE Enable Mask edit.
π‘ Stronger face identity: in the Krea2 identity edit subgraph set ref_boost = 4 (locks reference face / hair / clothes). Lower it if a bigger edit isn't "taking".
Settings: Turbo β 8β12 steps Β· CFG 1.0 Β· LoRA 1.0 Β· image β€ 2 MP, dimensions divisible by 8.
Prompting: plain natural-language instructions, no trigger word β except Outfit Transfer.

π― CONTROLNET MODE β Krea 2 (Depth)
Reproduce the pose & composition of a reference image via a Control-LoRA (it patches the model, not a classic ControlNet). β οΈ Output is a similar image built from the LLM's reading of the input β not an exact copy.
How to use
Enable Enable Image 1 β load the image whose pose / composition you want to reproduce.
Flip ON CONTROL NET (FIRST REF IMAGE ON) β true β routes the source latent into the ControlNet Group. (required)
In Fast Groups Bypasser (rgthree) enable ControlNet Group + LLM PROMPTER.
Pick the LLM preset: ControlNet_Edit_Mode or K1_Krea2_HighDetailed.
Everything else β as in standard generation.
Panel controls: strength Lora β structure hold (default 0.90; lower = looser, higher = stricter) Β· resolution limit β max side (default 1920).
Depth is the released control type (canny / pose / normal need a matching Control-LoRA).
---
π¨ COLORGRADE (LUT) β final look & grain
Grades the final image and gives it that amateur-photo feel.
LUT filters β apply .cube LUT files. Drop your own into ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-OlmLUT/luts/ and they appear in the list.
Tone controls β temperature, hue, brightness, contrast and more, for fine final-look tuning.
Digital grain β grain amount, grain size, color amount β adds realistic sensor noise so renders read as phone photos, not CG.
Standalone editor β you can grade any image from your PC: switch the slider to 2, upload it via upload image for edit, and disable the SAMPLING module in Fast Groups Bypasser.
A|B compare β set the selector to 1 or 2 depending on which photo you're processing, so the before/after view shows correctly.
