Newest version: Fixed remaining overtraining issues for the most part, at the cost of some likeness; file size much bigger now (sorry, no way around it); changed name to be a little bit simpler
Works best with mundane, real-life scenes. 'High-concept images' (e.g. fantasy and sci-fi scenes) can work, too, but will likely have less of an amateur and real look to them and more of a standard FLUX professional photography look (e.g. more bokeh).
Results can vary a lot from seed to seed and prompt to prompt. Some seeds and prompts will have much better likeness, quality and/or prompt adherence than others.
Recommended inference settings:
Rule-of-thumb:
lower guidance, lower amount of steps = more realism
higher guidance, higher amount of steps = better coherence/quality
This is however not universally true, as depending on seed and prompt this can still vary.
1.0 LoRa strength (only lower as a last resort or when needed, e.g. when combining with other LoRa's)
min. 2.5 (more realism) - max. 3.5 guidance (more coherence)
20/25/40/50 steps (these seem to be the optimal convergence points)
euler + ddim_uniform (more realism) OR normal (more coherence)
LoRa description:
This LoRa model was designed to generate images that look more "real" and less "artificially AI-generated by FLUX". It achieves this by making the natural and artificial lighting look more real and making the bokeh less strong. It also adds details to every part of the image, including skin, eyes, hair, and foliage. It also aims to reduce somewhat the common "FLUX chin and skin" and other such issues.

Commissions
TBD
major rework of the entire model
name changed from "True Real Photography" to "Increased Amateur Realism" to more accurately reflect the models nature
dataset changes and bigger model size (32 dim instead of 16): image count increased from 15 images to 30 images, resulting in:
more amateur, lower-quality, more noisy output
less bias, particularly among faces
reduced amount of occurrences and/or intensity of the so called "FLUX chin" and "FLUX cheeks" and "FLUX bokeh" phenomena relative to the previous version as well as FLUX default - but its still there!
sample changes: some more variety in the samples, by showcasing different aspect ratios and step amounts and guidance levels
