STABLE DIFFUSION XL 1.0 · LoRAs
Creator notes
NOTE: Please read below for working with these loras. They are unlikely to give good results when used individually and as is.
This model is actually a collection of LoRAs that each behave a bit differently but work together to achieve photo-realism. They are using some experimental techniques that depend on training on only a small number of portrait shots in order to maintain complex scenes. New versions in the future will likely change drastically once there is more understanding for this approach.
For now follow this short guide for starting off:
-
Due to these small number of faces trained on, the quality of the faces will be very distorted and often share the same features (hands will also be bad). It is strongly recommended to use a very powerful upscaler like MagnficAI to fix the faces as it will also evenly fix up the scene. Individual face improvement tools like those with ADetailer may cause the sharpness of the scene to look off.
-
These loras primarily work with the SDXL Base model. Using a different SDXL model will likely lead to less interesting scene complexity (though it might fix the faces up a bit).
-
These LoRA versions are each attuned to slighly different scenes. BoringReality_primaryV3 has the most general capabilities followed by BoringReality_primaryV4. It is best to start out using multiple versions of the lora and scale the weights evenly at a lower number, and then start adjusting them to see which results works best for you.
-
Currently any negative prompt added will likely ruin the image. You should also try to keep the prompt relatively short.
-
To get even better results out of these LoRAs, you should try using a img2img with depth controlnet approach. In Auto1111, you can place a "style image" in the img2img and set the denoise strength to around 0.90. The "style image" can be literally any image you want. It will just cause the generated image to have colors/lighting that are close to the style image. You would place another image with a pose/sceneLayout that you like (could be something you created in text2img) as the control image and use a depth model. Have the control strength lean more towards the prompt.
-
Try not use very simple prompt descriptions like "a man" as you may get bizarre results at times, but also try to avoid very long descriptions as they may cause the results to become bland.
For initial prompts you may want to consider starting out with something like and then experiment going out from there.
Also start with standard DPM++ 2M Karras, 20-25 steps, and CFG around 7.0. You can likely increase the CFG a good bit to get even a better sharp look sometimes, though it might also start to get very distorted.
Random Additional Information
To get a better sense of the general capabilities of these LoRAs beyond phone photos, here is a AI video I made a while ago for a 2 day AI film contest using entirely images from these LoRAs to prompt the video. The style, time period, and elephants are completely unrelated to any of the type of images I originally trained on. Try to ignore unrelated weird motion and editing.

Prompt
ultra-detailed, close-up portrait of a young woman with strikingly bright, icy blue eyes, staring directly at the viewer. Her expression is calm yet captivating. Her face is framed by a hood made of soft, snow-covered fabric, with intricate snowflake patterns in shades of blue and white adorning the fabric. The texture of the hood is cozy, wool-like, and lightly dusted with snow, giving it a wintry feel. Her skin is smooth, fair, and flawless, with a natural, soft glow. Her light blonde hair gently peeks out from under the hood, blending into the cold, wintry atmosphere. The lighting is soft and natural, illuminating her face and emphasizing the frost-bitten environment. The background is a frosty, blurred winter scene, with hints of snow-covered trees. The overall aesthetic conveys a serene, cold winter atmosphere, focusing on the crisp detail of her facial features and the wintry textures of her clothing <lora:boringRealism_facesV4:0>
