That's how I settled on the 128-rank Lora.It's possible to isolate Lora's layers, and only use layers with DoF information in them, but as it turned out, information about DoF is scattered throughout most of the layers. For example, when generating macro shots, DoF is generated from the first layers. Information that appears in the backgrounds is really everywhere in the model, and constant shallow DoF is just the way training data was like for Flux. To make matters worse, Flux has a really poor understanding of DoF and blur conceptually. So not only it is present in much bigger amount than SD1.5/SDXL, it also provides much worse control over it than SD1.5/SDXL.How was this Lora madeFirst, I put together a huge dataset with focus stacking techniques and deep DoF, on this I trained a new Lora. Next, using this Lora, I created images for a new dataset.I've got several hundred variants of the "antiblur" Lora, selected the best ones each with their advantages, and combined them into a one well-balanced model.What's next?Since the higher the rank, the better the quality, the obvious way to improve the result would be to train a full finetune (and effectively touch every corner of the latent space, where there is information related to backgrounds), and then extract the Lora.Another theoretical option is to find the "blur" or "dof" concept/weights in Flux latent space, and make a Lora out of inverted weights. This method wasn't very effective for dof control in SD-based models though.As of now though I'm happy with the result. The model will remain my best effort for a while
