Welcome to Perfection Amateur!

This is an Illustrious XL merge with a bunch of hand-selected checkpoints and LoRAs to improve the base model's realistic capabilites.

This is a special branch-off for cinematic flavor and for when you need your images to be extra juicy and well-lit!

It's focus is on creating high quality, photorealistic but amateur style images with a focus on women.

Each sample/preview image contains the used workflow. Here's a quick article with simpler more beginner-friendly workflow. This is a recommended starting point.

Do not use the Normal scheduler. Use Simple or Beta!

Use euler_a, dpmpp_2m_sde or dpmpp_3m_sde as your sampler.

To use the faster low-step settings, you need to use the DMD2 LoRA. This allows you to use 8 or 16 steps and generate very fast. Remember to generate in 2 passes, either using "Hires fix" in Forge/A1111, or by creating and chaining a second sampler node in ComfyUI. A sample workflow if included in the sample images of the model. Use this as a reference.
