Subtle Styles

Subtle Styles is a collection of loras for more versatile looks with the Big Love XL checkpoints. They also work with a few other checkpoints (see below), but have no effect with most. These are style & detailer loras. Trained on 100-230 images. Not only the effect, but also contrast & details usually increase with a higher lora strength. Softness may increase with some loras and prompts. Colors may change too. If nudity should vanish, add additional nudity terms to your prompt.

Upscaling: Reduce the lora strength during upscaling or don't use the lora at all to produce more sharpness. Not using the lora for upscaling may change faces though.

Cuteness Advice: Sometimes it has no real effect. Especially if the woman is already cute. Works best with portraits & medium shots. Less good with full body. To apply it (to an existing image or prompt) without changing the pose use it in img2ing with 0.75 lora weight & 0.5 denoise. Controlnet in txt2img works less good as it produces bad colors.

Craziness Advice: Reduce its strength to do xxx scenes for a higher hit rate. As it has a tendancy to rather do full body images, you have to give terms like portrait or closeup a higher weight. Reduce the lora strength if you get too many deformations. Lower lora strength reduces the raw look, but also creativity. Use lower lora strength or remove the lora in img2img to increase image quality.

Candidness Advice: Higher lora strength produces a more amateur look with more natural faces and softness. You need to find your sweet spot. Does not have the tendancy towards less nudity like the others.

Retro Advice: Use high enough lora strength for a retro effect. Add 1970s photo or 1950s photo to the prompt to pin the period. Otherwise you may get only a modern photo with vintage fx.

Fantasy Advice: If you don't use a fantasy-style prompt, it just adds embellishments and creative details. You can add fantasy, mystical atmosphere or science fiction at the beginning of the prompt to produce fantastical images.

MultipleGirls Advice: You have to add multiple girls or 2girls to 6+girls to the prompt to create more than one woman. Otherwise it only applies its style. It cannot fix anatomical problems with multiple people as that is a basic SDXL problem. You just need to keep on generating till you get good anatomy. It helps with creating different looking women in one image, but better to also prompt different women. It definitely provides more posing variety when it comes to multiple girls
