    Big Love Klein3 is also offered for $10 on Tensor Art. You can get Big Love Eryn1, Ultra5, Photo6, Zuna1 or Zia1 for $5.50 and Gwen1 or Hyper1 for $10 on Fanvue. Click 'Follow', buy a post, check your Fanvue DMs! A subscription includes the latest release and new ones within 30 days. Any problem? Contact me via chat.

    To create up to 85 free images per day in highest quality you can use Big Love here. For discussing photorealistic image generation join me on Discord.

    Big Love Klein is a fine-tune of Flux 2 klein. It can do txt2img and also edit images with prompts. It only needs 4 steps, so is quite fast. Check the "About this version" box on the right for info on the individual variants. Some are up to 3x faster.
    It is recommended to use it with ComfyUI. Put the downloaded model into the diffusion models sub folder of ComfyUI. You also need qwen_3_8b_fp8mixed.safetensors in the text_encoders sub folder (Qwen3-8B-Q5_K_M.gguf wth 8 GB VRAM) and flux2-vae.safetensors in the vae sub folder.
    Settings are 4 steps (2 steps for upscaling), cfg1, Euler sampler, Beta scheduler, 832x1216, 1024x1536, 1280x1920 or 1536x2240 pixels

    Big Love Gwen is a finetune of Qwen Edit 2511 and can do NSFW image editing. It produces more realistic and sharp images with better skin texture & genitals than other Qwen checkpoints/loras. Txt2img is less reliable, but generates nice results too.
    Big Love Gwen1 allows commercial usage without additional fees (if no auto-generation involved) unlike Big Love Klein. With its better anatomy it is easier to get good editing results. As fast at 6 steps as Klein at 4 steps. Check the "About this version" box on the right for info on the individual variants.
    It is recommended to use ComfyUI. The Gwen1 workflows offer a skin enhance feature that is not available in Forge Neo. Move the Gwen1 model file into the diffusion_model sub folder of the models folder of ComfyUI, qwen_2.5_vl_7b_fp8_scaled.safetensors into the text_encoder sub folder and qwen_image_vae.safetensors into the vae sub folder.
    For training a lora read here for Gwen1.
    Settings are 6 steps (3 steps for upscaling), cfg1, Euler sampler, Beta scheduler, 832x1216 or 1024x1536 pixels.

    Big Love Eryn is a fine-tune of Ernie-Image(-Turbo). You can run it locally with ComfyUI and Forge Neo. The fp8 version works with 8 & 12 GB VRAM. Use the (pruned) bf16 version if you have 16 GB VRAM or more. The "Full" versions are only meant for training a lora (coming soon!). Put the downloaded model into the diffusion models sub folder of ComfyUI or the StableDiffusion sub folder of Forge Neo. You additionally need to place ministral-3-3b.safetensors in the text_encoder sub folder and flux2-vae.safetensors in the VAE sub folder.
    Settings are 4-6 steps (3-4 steps for upscaling), cfg1, Euler sampler, Beta scheduler, 832x1216 or 1024x1536 pixels.

    Big Love Hyper supports generating at image sizes of 1664x2232 (4 megapixel) and higher with SDXL. Can be easily upscaled to 9 megapixel unlike the normal low-res images. Hyper currently has not fully stable anatomy, so needs more runs. Some prompts work better than others. It produces highly detailed and life-like images close to real photos. It has a special quality that cannot be achieved by just upscaling. The Hyper versions of Big Love are pay-only and special license conditions apply (see below).
    Settings are DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, LCM Exponential, 8 steps, cfg 1, clip skip 2, 1664x2432 or 1536x2240. Upscale with img2img with DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, same prompt, LCM Exponential, 1.25-1.5x, 4-8 steps, cfg 1, 0.3-0.5 denoise, clip skip 2.

    Big Love ZT, Zia or Zuna are fine-tunes of Z-Image(-Turbo) on the Big Love dataset. You can run it locally with ComfyUI and Forge Neo. The fp8 version works faster with 8 GB VRAM but produces more noise so may sometimes look more realistic, but details are not as good. Use the (pruned) bf16 version if you have 12 GB VRAM or more. The "Full" version is only meant for training a lora. Put the downloaded model into the diffusion models sub folder of ComfyUI or the StableDiffusion sub folder of Forge Neo. To make Big Love ZT/Zia/Zuna work you additionally need to place qwen3_4b.safetensors in the text_encoder sub folder and ae.saftendors in the VAE sub folder.
    Settings are 8 steps, cfg1, Euler or DPM++ 2s a RF sampler, Normal or Simple or Beta scheduler, 832x1216, 1024x1536 or 1280x1920 pixels. For upscaling 8 steps, cfg1, Euler sampler, Normal or Simple or Beta scheduler, 1.5x upscale.

    Big Love Ultra supports generating at image sizes of 1280x1870, 1360x1984 and higher. Can be easily upscaled to 6 megapixel unlike the normal low-res images. More photorealistic and detailed. A special quality that cannot be achieved by just upscaling. Ultra produces more details & sharpness when upscaling and detailing low-res images. The Ultra versions of Big Love are pay-only and special license conditions apply. See below.
    Settings are DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, LCM Exponential, 8 steps, cfg 1, clip skip 2, 1280x1864 or 1360x1984. Upscale with img2img with DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, same prompt, LCM Exponential, 1.25-1.5x, 4-8 steps, cfg 1, lora strength 1.0, 0.3-0.5 denoise, clip skip 2.

    Big Love Photo and Insta1 are finetuned versions of XL. Lust1 is a finetuned version of Lustify merged with Photo. They were trained on thousands of images and dozens of new concepts. Why they are the most realistic and versatile. For more details and prompting Photo1 read this article.
    Settings are DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, LCM Exponential, 8 steps, cfg 1, clip skip 2, 832x1216 or 1024x1496. Upscale with img2img with DMD2 lora, same prompt, LCM Exponential, 1.25-1.5, 4-8 steps, cfg 1, lora strength 1.0, 0.3-0.5 denoise, clip skip 2.

    Big Love XL is a combination of 5 different training branches of SDXL: original SDXL, bigASP, NatVis, Anteros and Pony. With a bit of Pony in it, some Pony loras (poses, characters) work too. It outputs a more photorealistic & creative look than the Pony versions and can also do paintings & cartoon.
    Settings are DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, LCM Exponential, 8 steps, cfg 1-1.5, clip skip 2, 832x1216 or 1024x1496. Upscale with img2img with DMD2 lora, same prompt, LCM Exponential, 1.5-2x, 8-12 steps (XL1/XL2), 4-8 steps (XL2.5-XL4), cfg 1, lora strength 1.0, 0.3-0.5 denoise, clip skip 2.

    Big Love Pony produces different images than both Pony & SDXL-based models. Pony tags are understood, but interpreted a bit differently. Some images lean more in the one or other direction depending on the prompt. It works with Pony loras as well as normal SDXL ones. It can turn anime/cartoon into photorealistic images in img2img. Pony3 includes a bit of Illustrious.
    Settings are DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, LCM Exponential, 8 steps, cfg 1-1.5, clip skip 2, 832x1216 or 1024x1496. Upscale with img2img with DMD2 lora, same prompt, LCM Exponential, 1.5-2x, 8-12 steps, cfg 1, lora strength 1.0, 0.3-0.5 denoise, clip skip 2.

    Training a (character) lora
    My advice is this: Take 10-30 high quality images (at least 50-100 for styles or poses), download OneTrainer, click the SDXL lora preset, choose Big Love as the base checkpoint, add your images as a concept, add tags on the Tools tab, and start training. If you train on Big Love Ultra change the training resolution to 1536 and provide 1248x1832 images.
    You will only get the full Big Love quality by training on real photos or extremely photorealistic images, which is usually not the case with a fictional character. It is all about image quality and not choosing boring images. Don't add posing images to a character lora, because Big Love provides the posing later for it. Focus mainly on good portraits with a few upper and full body images. Rather fewer higher quality images than a lot of average images. Read here for traing a lora on Big Love ZT2, ZT3, Zia1, Zuna1 or Eryn1.

    Fixing Anatomy
    If you want to keep the seed and repair anatomical problems in an image, activate the Extra checkbox in A1111/Forge and set Variation Strength to 0.01 to 0.1. Then generate until anatomy is fine. In Comfy there are sampler nodes that support variation seed (e.g. Inspire Pack), which do the same thing. Also possible to change steps or add commas to the prompt, but I do not recommend it. Extra/Variation Seed is more powerful and convenient as it gives you endless variations with just one click. There is always a variation which looks similar or even better with great anatomy.
    You don't need negative prompts for this. They are rather ineffective. You can also change the positive prompt to suppress things. Anatomy problems are also created by the prompt if you prompt contradicting poses that the model cannot combine. Better to fix the prompt first then.

    Reducing Saturation, Warm Colors and Sharpness
    These SDXL loras reduces the saturation and change the color temperature without reducing image quality. The lora strength defines the effect. Negative values increase saturation or add more warmth. To make an image softer use a lower strength for the DMD2 lora, e.g. 0.95, 0.9, 0.85.

    Big Love Hyper/Ultra/Photo Sizes

    Big Love Hyper supports these image sizes:
    1664x2432 (recommend)
    1536x2240
    Big Love Ultra supports these image sizes:
    1360x1984
    1280x1872 (recommend)
    Big Love Photo supports these image sizes:
    1024x1496 (recommend)
    832x1216
    You can also use the 16:9 or 2:3 versions of these image sizes as well as landscape orientation, but the above should be more reliable.
    The higher the image size, the lower the probability of good results. If you get too many problems with a higher image size, switch to the lower one. Some prompts do higher sizes fine, some do not. Do not use a lower image size than the recommended one, otherwise image quality will be lower. With higher image sizes anatomy problems occur too often.
    Remove fill words and unusual tags in the prompt. They can cause a quality reduction with Big Love Ultra/Hyper as they were not trained. Shorter prompts should work better as it is less likely that bad or untrained tags are in it.

    SFW Output - No Tits Please
    "Is there a trick so that Big Love doesn't always generate raised shirts or visible breasts?" I get this asked so often, while it is so obvious. Big Love knows what men want so it gives it to them. Negatives don't work that well for it. So you got to speak to it in the positive prompt like you were taking to a nun. "Breasts? How dare you speak such an obscene word to me." Don't mention breasts or any of these sexy parts. Instead describe clothes a lot. Don't write down your impure thoughts. God forbid! Yeah, I know, so hard. Describe her body shape, which also implies certain tits underneath the clothes.

    XL Prompting Advice
    SDXL prompts & prompts from various SDXL checkpoints work with it. Pony prompts too, but they create a more photorealistic look. Natural language prompts tend to create artistic glamour images with less skin detail while normal tags do more photo-style images. Big Love XL gives individual words more attention, so you don't need to rework prompts like Big Love Pony requires sometimes.
    XL1/XL2 has a tendancy towards cuteness and bright skin. If you get too much of it, remove words like cute, sweet, pale/fair skin & flash from the prompt. It also creates realistical analog photos with reduced image quality. Sometimes better to remove terms like analog or grain to increase quality. Decrease cfg to get a more natural look.
    XL2.5 can sometimes get too sharp. Reduce cfg or use less steps in img2img to make images softer.

    Pony Prompting Advice
    Pony prompts & prompts from other checkpoints work with it. Score tags and fill words like masterpiece or perfect skin have as good as no effect usually. A negative prompt is often unnecessary unless you want to make something vanish or avoid underage, but it can also change the style of the image.
    Pure booru tags and some other samplers may produce Pony style. Photographic terms or a simple prompts ensure a photo look. Sometimes it refuses to produce medium shots, portraits or close-ups unless you weigh the term heavily or remove feet, shoes, high heels, boots etc. from the prompt. wavy hair sometimes does not look so great.
    If it refuses to do porn, try simplifying the prompt. If you want to do a portrait, don't describe surroundings too much. If you want to do porn, describe the action mainly and don't focus on the people or surroundings in the prompt. The largest part of the prompt should be about the main subject of the image.
    If a prompt does not produce the intended image, you often only need to modify it a bit to make it work perfectly.

    Using Character Loras
    Big Love Pony supports Pony characters, but they look like real humans. There were some complaints about them not working, but the problem was not the model itself so far. So here are some tips:
    * Try Pony as well as SDXL character loras
    * Use a lora weight up to 1.5 if it does not reduce quality
    * If it is a well known character, add the name in the prompt and also give it a higher weight if necessary.
    * Check your negative prompt for problems. Delete it if necessary and rewrite it from scratch.
    * Render a lot of images to be able to pick those with the best resemblance.

    More SDXL Photorealism:
    You can highly improve the images generated with this model by using img2img, upscaling, detailing etc. The SDXL Lightning lora enhances the look and constrast despite only 8 steps. Alternatively, the SDXL DMD2 lora produces a sharp, but more natural look with less contrast. Also check out the Subtle Style loras, which nicely enhance images.

    Big Love License

    Big Love SDXL versions are licensed under CreativeML Open RAIL++M, the Big Love Z-Image, Ernie & Qwen versions are licensed under Apache 2.0, and the Big Love Klein versions are licensed under the FLUX Non-Commercial License with the following additional terms:


    For clarity, the following version tiers are defined:
    Restricted versions: Ultra, Hyper, Klein, Zia, Zuna, Eryn, Gwen
    Open versions: Pony, XL, Photo, Insta, Lust, ZT

    1. You may use Big Love without crediting the creator.
    2. You may sell the images that it generates.
    3. You may only run the official Big Love versions of the SubtleShader account on Civitai and Tensor Art. Running it on other public or shared servers commercially (including other Civitai and Tensor Art accounts) requires a separate license or permission from the creator.
    4. You may not sell this model or merges of this model.
    5. You may not merge, share merges of, or share LoRA extractions incorporating Restricted versions. You may merge and share merges of Open versions.
    6. When sharing the allowed merges of Open versions, as well as finetunes of them, you must apply these same additional license terms.
    7. Redistribution of Restricted versions is prohibited. They may only be obtained from official sources designated by the creator.
    8. All use-based restrictions of the CreativeML Open RAIL++M license apply to SDXL versions and their derivatives. All use-based restrictions of the FLUX Non-Commercial License apply to Klein versions and their derivatives.
    9. Any restrictions in these additional terms may be waived only with explicit written permission from the creator.

    TLDR: This is basically the same license as before (just stated more clearly), so nothing changes for the Pony, XL, Photo, Insta, Lust and ZT versions of Big Love. However, restrictions were added for Ultra, Hyper, Klein, Zia, Zuna, Eryn and Gwen versions (no merging, no redistribution). The "Share merges" condition below the license on the right hand side was only deactivated because of the restricted versions. Merging is still allowed for the open versions.

    Many thanks to the creators of SDXL, Z, Qwen, Flux klein, Pony, bigAsp and Lustify for making their wonderful models available. Big thanks to RaymondLuxuryYacht for allowing me to train on his fabulous images.

    Best to use img2img as it produces higher quality by allowing more steps. With hires fix you need to reduce the hires steps. Otherwise same settings. Img2img also had a seed, so you can redo it till it looks best.

    rettodysseus382Aug 16, 2025· 1 reaction

    SubtleShader I use the settings, what you wrote. With hires the upscaled pic is simple very bad(especially eyes), with img2img i tried SD upscale, which is not that bad, but not good too.

    It seems, the upscaler model matters a lot. With your upscaler model the eyes are too clean and not even close to the original pic.

    It's tricky to get rid of tan lines. Try "no tan lines" in negative or "no tan lines on [body part]" in positive. I've also had some success with adding "even skin color" to the prompt.

    I downloaded and tested all three models of BigLove Pony. There doesn't seem to be much difference in quality between the three models. However, models 1 and 2 display strange watermarks and logos. Model 3 doesn't have these issues. Therefore, I think model 3 is the right choice.

    Any tips on how to force these triggers: fully swallowed, half swallowed, chipmunking, gagging?

    I made my prompt as barebones as possible. I had no extra Loras at all in my prompt except the Dmd2.

    Added weights to those loras (1.2-1.5) and yet the images didn't seem to have noticeable resemblance to those triggers. I tested various dimensions as well but no luck (1024x1496, 1024x1024, 832x1216).

    I am also struggling to get bridge position, piledriver position to work as well.

    Pronebone works well though.

    SubtleShader

    Aug 21, 2025· 3 reactions

    Bridge & piledriver position are unusual, so they would have required more training or training images than the other position. Will try to do that in Photo2. Otherwise it takes a lot of rendering to reproduce them. Upside down and button up top down might help with prompting piledriver.

    Don't use loras with such high weights. Will produce bad quality. Try to avoid loras with Photo1.

    fully swallowed, half swallowed, chipmunking, gagging only nudge probability in your favor, but they don't work every time. All checkpoints that were merged into Big Love are headstrong when it comes to Interpreting prompts. The upside is a lot of creativity.

    SUBTLE?? - WTF Happened?!?! I want to claw living fk out of my eyes so so bad right now! ... :D

    Before I start please accept this as purely constructive feedback from THE worlds foremost expert on Big Love Checkpoints! - Hands down - I know absolutely every inch of capability of Big Loves, far more even than you -

    YOU who is the undisputed checkpoint fkn maaaaster!

    so hear me out here! ... :D

    We have been exclusively using Big Love at our agency since it's first release.

    it was and still is the perfect checkpoint for what we do, there is nothing else that can touch it, until very recently Flux or any olther model / checkpoint out there could come close to the photo realsim of Big Love.

    As such, at our agency we have generated over 62,000+ images on our RTX Pro 6000, 96GB VRAM workstation, solely using your incredible creation, as i say due to its unmatched photo realistic capabilities.

    This is really of no consequence to what we do as we have our fine tune, with the absolute sdxl GOAT still to this day the untouchable - Big Love XL 2 - which features and additional 150,000 photo dataset which we would be happy to share with you.

    This leads me on to the feedback of XL 4 - I have been away and returned to see the release of 4 - As you can imagine super buzzed to see a a new BL release - as you may or may not remember - I have said many times in comments on your work, that YOU are the checkpoint FKN maaaaster!

    So I am hoping you will take this constructively! :D But in the name of all that is holy did you do to make this checkpoint series go from spitting out BY FARRR the hottest most photo realistic eye candy in the history of AI image generation , to the fugliest most putrid demonic , chromozone lacking dispicable beasts, dipped in intenslty over saturaed vomit inducing colorrs, wraped in AI plastic skin, with a very consistent "Flux face" esque sheen to them.

    And we are talking here identical prompts, comfyui environment as was the framework for 60,000 images that came before it, we simply swapped out the models.

    Well I suspect is that by the time version 4 came around it was it had been stuffed and jam packed so tight with checkpoint merges, that it has turned these b%"$es into HORRIFIC retched spawns of satan!

    You are still and always will be the checkpoint fkn maaaaster! - i just wanted to feedback and share with you, the worlds most foremost Big Love experts - honest - opinion!

    I am about to purchase the new Photo version. We will be setting up our models on TA this week, all our sdxl models have a big love base and expand on the the photo realistic aspects.

    BIG LOVE to you subtle you absolute FKN Legend of the space!

    nroonarij129Aug 25, 2025· 2 reactions

    Interesting. Personally, I thought XL4 was WAY better than previous versions of BL, especially in terms of textures and backgrounds. Maybe you just need to patiently tweak your prompts to achieve the aesthetic you are after (desaturated, pale skin, cute face ...?), try reducing steps or CFG (unless it is already 1.0) or maybe just keep using the checkpoints you already love? I have yet to try Photo1. Thought 2: I think XL4 is optimized for the dmd2 speed LoRA - are you using it?

    shavarzorawar432Aug 25, 2025

    It seems, you dont use dmd2 with version 4. Its a must have, tones down the saturation, colors and contrast. Its clearly not usable without dmd, despite, its not baked in.

    SubtleShader

    Aug 25, 2025

    Thanks for your feedback! XL2.5, XL3 and XL4 are basically XL2 plus some loras and weight manipulation. I'm trying to optimize it for the DMD2 lora this way. I did not find any checkpoint to merge since XL2 that would improve it. Photo1 is a trained and merged version of XL4 thus has the same stronger contrast, saturation & sharpness. I understand if some people don't like that and prefer XL2, but most moved on and adapted newer versions of Big Love.

    I could create a version of Photo1 that is a merge with XL2 instead of XL4. Will have a look at that. Do you use Big Love XL2 pure or use it with Lightning or DMD2? I'm using DMD2 since XL2.

    Yep, would be great to have access to your 150,000 photo dataset. Would certainly be handy to select some of them for training future versions of Big Love Photo. Open a chat or contact me on Discord for that. Thanks for your fun comment!

    @shavarzorawar432 Yes, XL2.5 to Photo1 are optimized for DMD2. But can also be used with the Lightning lora, which I sometimes do for inpainting & img2img. Did not check it without both loras much, but noticed that some prompts don't work very well without. So best to always use DMD2 with it.

    Calling bullshit on genning that much and suddenly not being able to figure out XL4. I've gen'd that much (honestly likely much more) on Big Love and have not experienced a single spawn of satan with XL4. Sort of moot since Photo1 is a massive jump overall at what XL4 did, but I highly recommend you check your workflow to make sure you didn't shift a 1 or a 0 somewhere without realizing it. It happens to the best of us.

    @JetterJack dmd2 is a LORA that when applied with the right settings (Sampler: LCM, Scheduler Exponential, Steps: 6-12, CFG: 1.0-1.4) enables you to make SDXL images really fast. If you have not tried you really should. Much quicker. Download and apply the LORA, change the settings.

    I was having trouble getting quality results with Photo1. After getting a handle on the new features(lighting, realism, etc) and retraining my character LoRA, it's quite good. The only question I have with Photo1 is about the Subtle LoRAs. Specifically the "Subtle Poses" one. Are the concepts from that already baked into Photo1? Regardless, great work. Really enjoying Photo1.

    Yes, 50% of the training images of the Subtle Poses loras were trained on Photo1. But also from various of my other loras. So you normally don't need these loras anymore. Avoids image quality reduction by loras.

    Hello SubtleShader,

    Is it normal that I find non-DMD2 workflow a lot more precise and way less repetitive ? You're saying that DMD2 is the best quality workflow but sticking to good old SDXL karras 35 steps works best for me.

    With PAG, it's even slower but yields the best quality/adherence

    Having said that, big thanks for all the work on those checkpoints, I'm enjoying a lot of XL4 (can't wait to try photo1) To the point I'd test all the biglust 1.6 loras to see if those work with your checkpoint. :)

    @Tezozomoctli2 Quoting myself here: "I use the default SDXL lora settings of OneTrainer with Cosine learning, Dora activated and image augmentation deactivated. I always train on the latest Big Love version. I guess the magic happens mostly with the image selection. I'm quite selective, remove all watermarks, correct brightness, contrast & colors if they are off and sometimes crop images. Training images are never smaller than 900 pixels on the larger side. I also avoid low quality and too soft images. Usually 100-250 training images. Only up to 30 images for character loras."

    Do I need DMD2 for this or can I also gen normally? I see almost all pics on here using DMD2 lora

    DMD2 looks much better and is 3-6x faster. XL2.5, XL3, XL4 & Photo1 were optimized for DMD2. You can use without, but not recommend.

    @SubtleShader dmd have a disadvantage - all images look more "average". It generates much less unique content even if quality looks better.

    @Shio_N Use DMD2 or don't. Your choice.

    Meower2024Sep 27, 2025

    @SubtleShader Out of curiousity. Could the DMD2 lora be merged into it🤔 or would that not work well?(since you can no longer adjust it)

    Since alot of people seem to struggle using it.

    @Meower2024 I don't know any people struggling. Anyway, here are the disadvantages of merging the DMD2 lora:

    1. Not possible to adjust the DMD2 strength

    2. Not possible to generate without it

    3. Not possible to use another speed lora

    4. Not possible to train a lora on it

    5. Not possible to fine-tune it

    6. Not possible to merge it normally

    7. If DMD2 should be upgraded to DMD3, not possible to upgrade the checkpoint.

    So, merging DMD2 into a checkpoint has too many disadvantages. The little bit of conveniance is not worth it. Besides, it is not really any conveniance. I have the DMD2 lora always active as snippet in Forge so it gets automatically added to the prompt.

    does anyone find there images give women super crazy long backs? any way to fix this? this is with dmd2 workfflow for xl4, specially if my prompt has someone lying down

    Use a small image size than 1024x1496 in txt2img, e.g. 832x1216

    ok ty I will try that, is 1024x1496 not supposed to be used in t2i? that is what I was using

    @anonameguyman1234252 I use 1024x1496 and like the results. You don't like them apparently. So try smaller.

    ravonaramis572Sep 14, 2025

    @anonameguyman1234252 It simple doesnt work. Stay with usual resolutions. I tried some model, which claimed they are perfect with whatever resolution, but no.

    anonameguyman1234252Sep 15, 2025· 2 reactions

    @ravonaramis572 I like a lot of the outputs, but I do notice very long bodies often, even in the example images for the model. Not the worst thing ever, but even with prompting it doesnt seem to change anything. It is a little better in the smaller resolution. I am on the xl4 version tho, I need to try the photo version still.

    obakeomo1435Sep 23, 2025

    If you mean grotesquely elongated torsos, it's the same with many other checkpoints I've used. Bodies get so long that they have two navels, for example. I've tried a lot of things but I've found no sure way of addressing this problem. I'm just as interested in a solution.

    @obakeomo1435 You fix it by using a different image size. Mostly smaller image size, but another aspect ratio can also fix it. SDXL is trained on 1024 pixels. The default size is 832x1216, which always works for txt2img. I'm using 1024x1496 because DMD2 allows that and a majority of images are fine.

    obakeomo1435Oct 2, 2025· 1 reaction

    @SubtleShader Thanks for the advice.

    For example, I had images with torsos so long that there up to 4 navels!

    Your fix usually works. A fix I found is to turn off Hires if using Automatic1111 and deal with magnification later.

    I'll have to pay more attention to the recommended aspect ratios.

    Another weird aspect of AI image generation is that Loras are presented with no description of the behavior or function. You just have to play with them to find out. Even then, the results are often unexpected.

    I've been at AI generation for only a few months and have only become aware of some of the subtleties, e.g., aspect ratios. As someone who comes from a software development background, I find it strange that a user should concern himself with details that the system should handle. I guess with time, these issues will be addressed.

    @obakeomo1435 is it just a problem with all sdxl stuff it seems? Flux didnt seem to flip out this much in this regard, then again flux can't don nsfw at all.

    @obakeomo1435 Sorry, just saw your comment. Never had 4 navels so far. 1024x1496 does not produce that. Loras and checkoints are very versatile and flexible. There is no one way to use them as is the case with software. They are not standard software. They can be used very creatively. So the user needs to find out as he is engaging creatively. I'm giving all recommended settings in the Big Love description, but most don't even care to read & use that.

    @obakeomo1435 I've never had 4 navels either. Try the comfy ui workflows on this page here in comfy ui? I've used to use pinokio and wangp with image generation for example and certain models like flux even would give me deformed monstrosities, but using comfy ui workflows for the same thing gave me normal results.

    Photo1 - a brilliant checkpoint! 👍

    I did not used sdxl for a long time after pony and flux came up. But this checkpoint is really a "game changer" and works perfect with your DMD2 UltraRes Workflow 🙂 I love it! Thank you for your exellent work.

    It's really difficult to train a character Lora on this checkpoint, the results are really bad without dmd2, do you have any advice?
    The lora works very well with dmd2 though.

    420ElectricLoveSep 15, 2025

    I trained against the base sdxl and it works okay and then downloaded a few base sdxl character loras and they seem okay. Curious though what the auther suggests and bonus for any training parameters that can be shared!

    Big Love was optimized for DMD2, so why use it without? Train on another checkpoint if you don't want to use DMD2. I posted my lora settings in another comment here.

    Thanks for the answer, I only asked because I wanted to know if there was problem on my end.
    I'll use the DMD2 lora. Great model btw. @SubtleShader

    Hello, can you please tell me why I have very high contrast in all my photos, but I'm using cfg scale-1 and forge.

    Only use 8 steps and the LCM sampler. If that is not the problem, prompt low contrast, cloudy or something like that. Alternatively reduce the DMD2 lora strength.

    Gomane355Sep 16, 2025

    @SubtleShader Thanks for the reply, I'll try.

    @Gomane355 Also cfg should be 1 and don't use a lora that increases contrast.

    Gomane355Sep 20, 2025

    @SubtleShader Yes, I understand that all the settings are the same, but for some reason you have a neutral contrast, unlike mine. Thank you for your answers!

    @Gomane355 Your metadata says "Size: 896x1152, Token merging ratio: 0.7, Discard penultimate sigma: True"
    I use 1024x1496 which produces better details. I also don't use these other 2 settings. No idea what they are. Check your Forge settings.

    Gomane355Sep 21, 2025

    @SubtleShader Okay, thanks, I'll try to figure it out.
