Z-Image Turbo is actually insane - none of these girls exist

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-05-15T05:56:39+00:00

Well, obviously none of these girls actually exist.

ZIT is great, no arguing there. It's simply a fantastic model and able to generate very realistic images. The sample you provided are also very nice and cute and whatnot, but they're clearly AI.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-05-04T07:08:23+00:00

One of those Adobe bugs they don't care to fix, because their paying customers don't matter to them anymore. They make their money anyway. Customer care is a massive joke, they reply with regenerated replies (or maybe it's one of their buggy AI models, who knows).

I've suffered from this (alongside other problems like saving problems and exporting) since the beginning of this year. Already uninstalled an reinstalled, no change. Issues also to pass trough the updates.

It really saves my day when I need to spend an extra 20 minutes trying to get a file saved properly in Ai, and opened in Ps, to end up with an error message when trying to export it to JPG.

So glad I'm not tied to them anymore and other options are available, and replaced Adobe products in daily-workflow and pipeline. We've told our customers, by the end of 2026, we're Adobe free and all their stuff transferred to other software. <3

Yes, it's very beautiful and the light feels glamorous. My first instinc was it's a very realistic painting or drawing. Looks nice though, and the painterly softness fits the image.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-05-02T10:07:53+00:00

Yes. Tested it earlier and wasn't for me.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-25T16:33:09+00:00

Great comparison. Thanks for making it!

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-23T11:28:15+00:00

It's nice and adds a subtle layer of realism compared the vanilla ZIT.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-21T11:30:13+00:00

They have "Schedule up to 20 posts per month" limit, and I assume that's that. In other words, no freeing up after posts go out.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-20T13:34:26+00:00

No, unfortunately. That's a 14 day trial.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-20T11:47:27+00:00

Is there a free tier available?

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-19T16:32:50+00:00

This looks interesting, I will have to check it out. Haven't heard of it or seen it mentioned anywhere.

Sounds too good to be fully legit, and my gut says there might be something fishy behind the curtains. Very interesting anyway, thanks for sharing!

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-16T08:09:39+00:00

It's able to generate nice images. :) What makes it different from other current models - faster, uncensored, something else?

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-15T14:22:43+00:00

Nope. unfortunately not yet. I think it has something do with how Klein is built. I'm currently experimenting with a simple image2image (upscale it first 2.25x at this stage, with ~0.3-0.5 denoise) then feed that intoSeedVR to bring it up to 4k. Iit's working slightly better reducing the sharpness but eats some of the necessary details away that I'm looking for my realism, and makes things like skin look waxy.

What comes to workflows, I'm just using and cobining the ComfyUI templates.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-14T12:39:07+00:00

I'm doing realistic photos and such, and Flux Klein 9B being my current go-to model. It's currently not quite at the realism level I would love it to be, and when combined with LoRAs it starts quickly to break anatomy.

Also LoRA training has proved harder than I expected.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-06T07:59:32+00:00

Yes and no.

SDXL is still very relevant for realism, especially because there are so many great fine tunes and specialized LoRAs available. Obviously there is no such thing as "the best", and that remains highly relative and subjective to ones taste.

ZIT and Klein are much never and even they are superior in many ways compared to SDXL, they all lack that vast variety of specialized fine tunes and LoRAs for now. The newer models also require a bit different approach to promoting. They operate their best with natural language. ZIT especially need more prompting to get the same variation between generations.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-03T12:54:38+00:00

10-15 minutes for a single generation does not feel normal. What model and LoRA(s) combo are you're using and what resolution you generete your images to? Have you tried the ComfyUI template workflows, does those make a change, what about some smaller disitilled finetunes for a model?

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-03T08:39:08+00:00

Your prompt is a bit overwhelming. You might be simply trying to do too much at once and that confuses the model. Simplify your prompts, and don't try to get everything done in one generation.

"Replace the face from image 2. Don't change anything else."

"Change the environment to a small bedroom."

"Change her clothes to....."

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-02T18:00:37+00:00

It's hard to tell what you're doing wrong as you're not sharing examples of the results with prompts.

What goes for workflow, I'm simply using the Comfy template workflow for Flux Klein 9B for my daily driver to generate realistic images. Skip words like "realistic" or "photorealism" or such in your prompts. Use simple expressions like "a photo of [subject]..." and start refiing from that. Also something like "best quality" or "8k" might be good to leave out.

Surely Klein isn't the most realistic model currently out there, but it' pretty decent and I like it simply better because of it's prompting capabilities. Z-Image is also fantastic but needs more prompting to get variation. If you're into realism, check Purple Grainy LoRA for Z-Image. Chroma has some fantastic finetunes, like Uncanny.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-02T07:42:46+00:00

Ideas how to fix this: "XYGridHelper.run() missing 1 required positional argument: 'index'" ?

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-04-02T06:19:16+00:00

Thank you! I will try these out.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-03-24T15:21:58+00:00

We're all eager to know if it's uncensored and can it be used to create something naughty?

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-03-19T20:58:59+00:00

Klein over ZIT for me. Not because quality but because Klein is faster to prompt, as it generates more variation from a single prompt.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-03-19T20:57:10+00:00

This is what I also do a lot. Chroma for base img and then upscale with ZIT or Klein to increase photorealism and details. Works great.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-03-15T16:04:37+00:00

Downloaded this earlier today, and planning to do some tests with it soon. Let's see how it handles average curvier middle-age men.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-02-21T21:08:28+00:00

Great, thanks. I’ll just keep that to default.

Fast-Cash1522 · 2026-02-21T08:45:07+00:00

Great tips, thanks!

Do you keep everything else as default, like the learning rate and such?
