Perfection Amateur [ILXL / Illustrious XL] - NSFW / SFW Checkpoint


Each sample/preview image contains the used workflow. Here's a quick article: https://civitai.com/articles/17080 
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.

Original model at Huggingface tianweiy/DMD2.
Recommended Settings
Steps: 8
LoRA weight: 0.7
Sampler: LCM
Scheduler: Normal, Simple
CFG: 1.4 - 1.8
I use similar settings on both a low resolution base image, and the upscaled refinement pass (hires fix). The settings above are my personal recommendations, but I suggest you play around with the settings to find what works for you and the model you are using.

Combining Both LoRAs
It's also been reported to perform better to use both the fp32 and fp16 at the same time at 0.5 weight each.

Recommended LoRA weight
Load the LoRA like any other. I personally recommend a weight of 0.7, but others swear it's better at 1.0 in weight.

Usage
You should be able to use it with any SDXL or similar checkpoint. Use the settings above.
You can also merge this into a checkpoint and save that, to include the result of the LoRA into the checkpoint directly. This means you no longer need to load this as a LoRA, and you can still use it with LCM and low steps for good result.
The LoRA itself doesn't add any speed improvement, it just allows you to generate at fewer steps, with better result.
If the results are washed out, desaturated or bland, try increasing the CFG. app need to have as well negative prompt, option to load model checkpoint and loras, option to save generated pictures and history of generated pictures
