What it is¶

Krea2-realism is a community LoRA line for the gated Krea 2 Turbo text-to-image model.

• V1 targets SFW and NSFW photorealistic subjects.
• V2 targets facial expression, texture, lighting, composition, and compatibility with character LoRAs.
• Generation and image-to-image aid, not an image-editing model.

The maintained V2 guidance recommends a 4–5 sentence natural-language prompt and LoRA strength 1.5–2.0.

We use V2 for new Krea 2 work, particularly when a character LoRA must retain its face. Keep V1 only to reproduce an existing setup.

Development line¶

• 2026-07-04 — Krea2 Realism v1 version-specific model references recorded. On 2026-07-04, the Krea2-realism development line recorded two version-specific Civitai references for Krea2 Realism v1. The links identify distinct model-version artifacts, 3066973 and 3090634, so we track available versions in project history.

What changed¶

• 2026-06-24 — Krea2-realism-V1, model version 3066973, arrived as a Krea 2 realism LoRA for SFW and NSFW generation.
• 2026-07-02 — Krea2-realism-V2, model version 3090634, replaced V1 as the active revision. It brought more natural faces, improved texture, lighting, composition, and better coexistence with character LoRAs.
• 2026-07-04 — Both V1 and V2 model-version links were collected together. This was not an independently dated release.

How to use this¶

From 2026-07-04, we pin Krea2 Realism v1 by its exact Civitai modelVersionId and record which of the two referenced versions was used, rather than treating the model page as a single unversioned artifact.

1. Request access to Krea 2 Turbo and accept its community licence before downloading or running the base model. — https://huggingface.co/krea/Krea-2-Turbo
2. Download Krea2-realism-V2, the current revision of this LoRA line. — https://huggingface.co/RudySen/Krea2-realism-V2
3. In ComfyUI, place the LoRA file in ComfyUI/models/loras/ and select it with a Load LoRA node in a Krea 2 workflow. — https://note.com/yasashii_maou/n/naf58ef9a48fb?hl=en
4. Start from the V1 workflow if available, replacing only the LoRA with V2. Use image-to-image rather than treating it as a dedicated editor. — https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1ulonm8/krea2realismv2_is_finally_here_things_got_a/
5. Describe the scene in a short natural-language paragraph. Render and tune LoRA weight against the chosen subject and character LoRA. — https://huggingface.co/RudySen/Krea2-realism-V2

Best practices¶

• Prefer V2 over V1 when stacking a character LoRA: V2 does not alter faces supplied by other character LoRAs. — https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1ulonm8/krea2realismv2_is_finally_here_things_got_a/
• Use a 4–5 sentence scene description instead of tag stacking. Begin around strength 1.0 for a controlled comparison, then test 1.5–2.0 if the result needs more effect. — https://huggingface.co/RudySen/Krea2-realism-V2
• Treat V2 as an image-generation or image-to-image component, not as a semantic image editor. — https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1ulonm8/krea2realismv2_is_finally_here_things_got_a/

Superseded by this¶

• 2026-06-24 — Krea2-realism-V1 (model version 3066973) is superseded for new work by Krea2-realism-V2 (model version 3090634, released 2026-07-02). The V1 workflow remains usable by swapping the LoRA.

Still unknown¶

• Original Civitai endpoints were inaccessible, so model metadata, download availability, and licence terms on those pages could not be verified.
• The Hugging Face V2 mirror declares MIT, while the Krea 2 base model has the Krea 2 Community License. Applicable distribution and use terms for the combined workflow need confirmation from the original model page.
• No source documents a release on 2026-07-04 itself. That date records both version links rather than a new model change.
