| # Krea 2 Identity Edit |
|
|
| > **v1.1 (recommended): `krea2_identity_edit_v1_1.safetensors`** — substantially |
| > improved face likeness and image fidelity, much stronger edit locality |
| > (camera, pose, and untouched elements stay fixed far more reliably), better |
| > two-person identity separation, more reliable object remove/replace, |
| > better compound outfit-change compliance, corrected reference geometry |
| > handling. One honest regression: *person*-replacement ("replace the |
| > woman with an orangutan") is currently weaker than v1 — keep v1 for that |
| > use case until v1.2. No high-resolution adaptation pass yet: at high |
| > resolutions (especially two-person edits) identities can bleed together — |
| > prefer ~1–1.5MP and upscale. v1 remains available for workflow |
| > reproducibility. **Low-VRAM variants:** `..._v1_1_r128.safetensors` (0.91GB) |
| > and `..._v1_1_r64.safetensors` (0.46GB) — SVD rank-reduced from v1.1, |
| > near-identical quality. |
|
|
| **Instruction-based, identity-preserving image editing for Krea 2** (12.9B |
| single-stream MMDiT). Give it an image and a plain-language instruction; it |
| edits while preserving what you didn't ask to change — including the person. |
|
|
| *An unofficial community fine-tune of [Krea 2 Raw](https://huggingface.co/krea/Krea-2-Raw). |

|
|
| **Requires the [ComfyUI-Krea2Edit node pack](https://github.com/lbouaraba/comfyui-krea2edit)** — the LoRA is |
| trained with dual conditioning (in-context VAE tokens + image-grounded Qwen3-VL |
| encoding) that stock nodes don't provide. Two ready-made workflows ship with it. |
|
|
| ## What it does |
|
|
| - **Person re-staging with likeness:** "create a photo of this person at a |
| night market" — same face, same outfit down to individual moles and marks, |
| fully relit to the new scene. New camera angles and poses included. |
| - **Local edits:** recolor, add/remove/replace objects, attribute and outfit |
| changes, with near-pixel preservation of the rest of the frame. |
| - **Replace-with-reference:** "replace the woman with a big orangutan" — the |
| replace verb is trained, locality holds. |
| - **Full-image restyles:** global style with preserved composition. |
| - **Two-input edits:** scene + person as separate references — "create a photo |
| of this man next to the tractor." **Input order matters and is fixed: the |
| scene is always image 1 (`source_latent`/`image`), the person is always |
| image 2 (`source_latent_b`/`image_b`).** Swapping them sharply degrades |
| results (this matches the training layout). |
| - **Composes with your LoRAs:** character/body/style LoRAs stack on top and |
| steer the prior — something closed editors structurally can't offer. |
|
|
| ## Recommended settings |
|
|
| | Task type | Model | Steps | CFG | |
| |---|---|---|---| |
| | Most edits (add, recolor, restyle, re-stage) | Turbo | 8–12 | 1.0 | |
| | Removals / large deletions | Raw | 20 | 3.0 | |
|
|
| - **Match the output aspect ratio to the source image.** Training pairs are |
| same-size; AR mismatch degrades preservation (edits may apply to only part |
| of the frame). |
| - **Generate at ≤2MP** (source bleed / duplication above). **For v1.1 |
| two-person edits, prefer ~1–1.5MP** — at higher resolutions the two |
| identities may blend together; generate lower and upscale instead. |
| - **Step count is a mild dial too:** fewer steps (8) favor composition |
| adherence, more (12) favor face detail; ~10 is a good balance. |
| - **`grounding_px` is a real dial.** Lower values = stronger edit adherence |
| and more uniform scene changes; higher = stronger identity/likeness. |
| v1.1's trained range is 384–768 (768 default); 1024 often still works |
| nicely. **If you get duplicated/split compositions ("double pictures"), |
| lower `grounding_px` — running far above the trained range is the most |
| common cause.** (v1's trained range was 512–1536.) |
| - At CFG > 1, ground the negative too (empty prompt + same image). |
| - LoRA strength 1.0. |
|
|
| ## Known limitations (honest list) |
|
|
| - **Likeness is texture-faithful, proportion-conservative.** Moles, skin |
| character, hair, and lighting adapt beautifully; strongly distinctive facial |
| *geometry* (unusual nose, eye spacing, face length) regresses toward typical |
| proportions. People whose identity lives in texture and structure transfer |
| best; geometry-defined faces read as a "close relative." |
| - **Two-person inputs keep outfits distinct but faces drift toward each |
| other.** Workaround that works today: chain single-ref inserts (place person |
| A, then a second edit pass adding person B from their reference). |
| - **Removal works but is not yet reliable** — always use the Raw/CFG 3 recipe; |
| expect occasional re-renders instead of deletions. |
| - **Outfit swaps are hit-or-miss** — changing what a person wears sometimes |
| works cleanly and sometimes doesn't apply; reroll or rephrase. |
| - **Local edits aren't always perfectly local** — add/remove/replace operations |
| can sometimes alter other parts of the frame or shift the overall color |
| grade (substantially improved in v1.1). If preservation matters, compare |
| against the source and reroll. |
| - Highly unusual visual content (extravagant hairstyles, extreme body types) |
| can drift toward the base prior — a subject LoRA stacked on top fixes this. |
