Qwen-Edit → Krea 2 Turbo — 2-Stage Pose-to-Photoreal Workflow (ComfyUI)

A simple two-stage ComfyUI workflow that turns a pose reference into a photoreal result — the pose stays exact, the look is fully controllable. Same pose skeleton, any subject and scene.

Qwen owns the pose, Krea owns the look.

All from the same pose skeletons — different subjects and scenes, one seed through the pipeline.

How it works

Stage 1 — Qwen-Image-Edit 2511 (structure & pose). A reference is reduced to its first frame, run through DWPose to get an OpenPose skeleton, and Qwen-Edit generates the subject strictly on that pose. Pixel-accurate posing, full freedom over character and scene from the prompt.

Stage 2 — Krea 2 Turbo (img2img, denoise ~0.42). The Qwen latent is refined by Krea 2 Turbo, which adds photoreal surface detail, lighting and polish on top of Qwen's structure. Each stage has its own separate prompt — Qwen gets a short pose-focused instruction, Krea gets a rich visual description.

Sample settings

Stage 1 — Qwen-Edit: CFG 4, 20 steps, 1088×1920
Stage 2 — Krea 2 Turbo: CFG 1, 32 steps, 1088×1920

Hardware / VRAM

Tuned for a big card — RTX PRO 6000, 96 GB — so both models stay resident at once for speed.

Modifies easily for lower VRAM (slower, but it works):

Add an "Unload Model" node for Qwen right after the Qwen stage, before Krea loads → one model in VRAM at a time, fits one-by-one on smaller cards.
Combine with fp8 weights, sequential model loading, tiled VAE.
Rule of thumb: if both models don't fit together, unload between stages and run them one at a time.

Qwen-Edit takes up to 3 input images

The Qwen-Edit stage supports up to three input images (Picture 1 / 2 / 3). Bypass the ones you don't need, or enable them and reference each in the prompt ("subject of picture 1 in the pose of picture 2"). Typical use: one = subject, one = pose. Add a third for a style or background reference.

Control is a swappable module (build it like Lego)

The pose input is not fixed to OpenPose. The control block is just preprocessor → encode → apply, so swap the preprocessor and feed any ordinary photo:

Depth → Depth-Anything-V2 → 3D structure/volume
Pose → DWPose / OpenPose → joint pose (this build)
Canny / Lineart → outlines/composition
Normal maps → surface orientation

Same three nodes downstream, only the preprocessor changes.

Example prompts

The actual prompt file used for these samples is included: example_prompts.txt.

Per stage: a short pose-focused Qwen prompt + a rich visual Krea prompt.
Several subjects across 2 poses — the two poses are two different OpenPose reference frames.
Some subjects run with no LoRA; others use a character LoRA (put your trigger word in, or bypass it and describe the character in words).
The header also has the memory/VRAM notes and the control-swapping cheatsheet.
