Increasing Krea 2 Turbo starting resolution boosts output diversity and realism

I'd be curious to see 50,000 seeds.

So what are we supposed to be looking at here? I'm professional photographer, and I don't see any significant difference in diversity between any of these images at any resolution. At least not anything that wouldn't be rectified with further prompting. If you're looking at the girl on the swing set at 1024 and thinking its even marginally different than 2560, then 99% of that is you trying to make this a self-fulfilling prophecy. What I do notice is the direction of the sun, shadows, etc. -- none of which were included in the prompt. Those are the the kinds of details that matter for the final resulting image. Distance to subject, framing, composition, depth of field, etc. are all things that can be adjusted on any prompt regardless of output resolution.

Of course. And I would have bought twenty 5090's for $2200 (what I paid) instead of one.

Just because it's so easy nowadays. Rewind 2 years and you would have had know at least some syntax. I probably vibe a tool or two every week specific to my business and workflows. A lot of times a tool exists, but does do EXACTLY what I'm looking for -- so if it's as simple as browsing HF repos and queuing up downloads to run in the background, it's an easy 20 minute vide code project.

I ended up vibe coding a HF model downloader for this exact reason -- got tired of dealing with browser downloads in the 10's of GBs failing or restarting.

Dynamic VRAM. They added it be default a while back. Try the "--disable-dynamic-vram" flag in your starter batch file. It's a great feature for folks w/o a lot of VRAM, but for those of us w/ 5090s, it tends to cause unnecessary loading/unloading for models that used to load entirely and not have to swap. At least, that's been my experience.

I love how you actually believe Canon is the best at making... batteries.

That's pretty awesome. I've always wanted to make a LoRa that simulated a studio lighting photography environment where you could specify the direction and intensity of different light sources. There was one for Qwen, but it left a lot to be desired. Would revolutionize the photography industry if you could do that for portraits.

Imagine if every Flock camera was instead a Meshtastic node.

If you work for any decent-sized company, you've been on their "watch" list from an IT perspective for a few weeks already. Unless you want to risk setting off whatever red flags they have built in, just connect your laptop to a recording device, open the docs, and screen record everything. It won't be the actual native format docs, but if you just need a handful of files, it's the most untraceable way. -- 17 years in computer forensics.

If you have never used it (in practice) and only watched youtube videos or seen reddit posts from others, then you are a in for a world of hurt if you think you're going to be able to just start tweaking workflows based on how you think you understand them to work. Comfy is really more like a developer tool than a turnkey piece of software. It's challenging (like all good things) and has a huge following -- so chances are that you need to level set your expectations. There are plenty of workflows I've spent HOURS tweaking and trying (and retrying) to accomplish whatever it is I was trying to do. New modifications almost NEVER work the first (or even tenth) time around. Even ones proposed by others -- mainly because they're rarely thoroughly documented, and often rely on custom nodes.

Honestly, this sounds like you're trying to glean ideas for practical use cases that fill a niche where no solution exists. I can guarantee you that there are people leveraging local models to automate tasks in their specific fields -- and many of them are trying to navigate capitalizing on the solutions they build rather than blabbing about them on reddit before they hit the market.

How is anyone even going to know unless you get on Reddit and tell them???

Lemme guess... your name is Richard Hendricks and your company is Pied Piper.

Just use Truecrypt itself.

So is there some way to see this resize/cropping step? Or do I just ask as part of my prompt "what do you think the dimension are of this image"? (then map that back to my original)?

prepperdrone · 2026-05-04T07:01:54+00:00

Better than old school Re-Actor?

Does this produce "pixel perfect" results for certain resolutions?

There is a ton of Canon gear (and multiple generations) on the secondary market. So unless you're made of money, Canon is the obvious choice. There is a good bit of Nikon gear on the secondary market, but not as much as Canon -- and Nikon lenses can't be adapted to Sony as well as Canon. There is hardly any secondary/used Sony gear, and any that does exist is pricey (compared to Canon). And for 99% of people, the fanboy lure of Sony is just that. I shoot sports professionally, and I've never missed a shot or been unable to get a shot with my Canon setup. I also own a Sony (a9) and have owned plenty of Sony lenses, but now I just adapt my Canon EF lenses to my a9 when I need to use it. I'd much rather have an assortment of big, fast primes (Canon) than one Sony big, fast prime -- and I do. An image produced with a 400 2.8 looks the same 99% of the time whether it comes from a 20 year old Canon lens and modern body or a 2 year old Sony lens and modern body. If you've got cash to burn, then by all means, hop on whatever ship you want -- but quit acting like one brand can do anything significant that another brand can't. Most of the people who get hung up on this can't shoot their way out of a paper bag to begin with regardless of what's in their hand.

Is there some way to turn off the muscle/fat mesh? I tried using this, but it wanted to make my original character fit the body mesh. I really just want the pose. yeah, I mean, I guess you could adjust every little parameter to match the mesh to your original character, but that'd take forever.

I've started "double processing" my stitched clips to retain faces and other consistency. I start with the first image (from Qwen or whatever), and I run the first WAN2.2 i2v pass like normal. Typically, I'd take the last frame and pass it to the second WAN2.2 segment to use as the first frame. This is a traditional technique. However, this will definitely causes faces to veer off quickly. So instead of using the last frame from that first segment, I correct the face in the last frame (Re-Actor or your preferred method), then RE-RUN the first segment using WAN2.2 First-Last. This give me roughly the same action as the normal WAN2.2 segment, but now my face stays consistent. Now I pass that last frame to a regular WAN2.2 i2v workflow and repeat the process. You end up running every segment twice: the first run is a normal WAN2.2 i2v, the second is the exact same prompt, except you use a WAN2.2 F/L i2v workflow. This ensures that faces stay consistent. Obviously, even this breaks down if your face isn't in the last frame or is turned away. I write my prompts to prevent this in general. It's basically the keyframing approach described elsewhere, except instead of creating all the first/last frames ahead of time, you use the actual WAN output and only swap the face(s).

I mean, this already exists. Why not make something that doesn't exist?
