Transparent PNGs straight out of Krea 2 Turbo in 8 steps. End your prompt with isolated on a transparent background, decode with the two Wan-Alpha VAEs, and you get an image with a real alpha channel: no chroma key, no background removal, no masking, and no colored fringe on the edges. Only built-in ComfyUI nodes.

Trained with black-and-white manga in mind (characters, creatures, props, ink effects, sound effects, speech balloons), but it also works in color.

Everything you need (ComfyUI): https://huggingface.co/paralaif/Krea2-Manga-Alpha-Image-LoRA

1. This LoRA → models/loras/

2. vae/wan_alpha_v2_vae_rgb.safetensors and vae/wan_alpha_v2_vae_alpha.safetensors (Hugging Face repo, converted from htdong/Wan-Alpha-VAE, Apache-2.0) → models/vae/

3. Minimal workflow: the attached zip (also on Hugging Face)

4. Krea 2 Turbo + Qwen3-VL-4B text encoder: Comfy-Org/Krea-2 on Hugging Face

How it works: Krea 2 shares the Wan 2.1 latent space. Wan-Alpha extends that space with alpha (one fused latent, two decoders), and this LoRA teaches Krea 2 to generate that fused latent directly.

Tips

- Always end the prompt with isolated on a transparent background, and describe one subject, not a place.

- About 1 in 5 prompts needs another seed; the failure is an obvious opaque pale-gray background.

- Dense black masses (a flock of crows) are the weak spot.

- Tuned for Krea 2 Turbo; on heavy fine-tunes like Kroma the alpha breaks.

Training: Krea 2 Raw, musubi-tuner, latents encoded with the Wan-Alpha v2 encoder, 503 RGBA images, rank 32, AdamW 8-bit 1e-4, krea2_shift, epoch 4 (2012 steps), one RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB. The training images are synthetic: generated with MossAD-Demo using its built-in artist-style tags, on a flat indigo background, cut out with a chroma key and reviewed by hand. The artist tags were removed from the captions, but the LoRA may still carry some of those styles.
