LoRa description:

This LoRa model was designed to generate images that look more "real" and less "artificially AI-generated by FLUX". It achieves this by making the natural and artificial lighting look more real and making the bokeh less strong. It also adds details to every part of the image, including skin, eyes, hair, and foliage. It also aims to reduce somewhat the common "FLUX chin and skin" and other such issues.
