Hello everyone. I am Dr. Furkan Gözükara. PhD Computer Engineer. SECourses is a dedicated YouTube channel for the following topics : Tech, AI, News, Science, Robotics, Singularity, ComfyUI, SwarmUI, ML, Artificial Intelligence, Humanoid Robots, Wan 2.2, FLUX, Krea, Qwen Image, VLMs, Stable Diffusion
say you want to make the best quality lora, you would do a fine tune, then there is a function in kohya that looks at the base file(flux) and your fine tune safetensor and it extracts the difference between them. That becomes your final lora
i'm going to suggest you go to the technical support channel on the stable diffusion discord and look for CS1o, and ask him about that. that question comes up in there all the time
If you are doing the fine tune just be aware when it saves checkpoints they are huge, if you are wanting to just tinker around for fun I think a lora is a decent first option. Just get like 15 pics that are half decent and see how it goes
If you are wanting a better checkpoint for the people realism (eg skin) part I think you will likely find that your own training/lora will already address that enough as is probably
Depends what your goal is of course. Personally I have just trained of dev and have been very happy with the results as far as skin texture etc but im just messing around for fun with friends family so not super picky. The only time I trained something other than dev was when I trained a lora of our old dog using the checkpoint i trained of my wife as using two loras was giving me junk results
Well I trained on my pics and lot of the pictures doing smooth skins i wondered if it because of of my data set maybe some of the pics has smooth skin filter
