V67 Afterlight Filters – A Cinematic Filter LoRA for Krea 2 and Z Image Turbo

If you decide to use my model and your image is chosen for the cover of CIVITAI (even in combination with other models), you will receive 500 Yellow Buzz.
R+ images will be hidden from the gallery. Trained with Krea 2 and Z Image Turbo.
Putting a Like to the V67 models is worth more than giving me Buzz (yellow/green).

Trigger Words — Primary Trigger String

text

(Afterlight Filters:1.1), Afterlight app filter emulation, Instant400 instant film look, Halo halation glow, IR-Blue infrared color shift, KX35 soft vintage hues, randomized light leaks, Celesta warm film glow, Shade golden hour bloom, window shade textures, G200 red-muted vintage tones, Superia muted highlights, delicate chromatic aberration, M120 faded film preset, dusty texture, Kaleida chromatic prism effect, rainbow light refraction, analog film grain, authentic dust, soft halation around highlights, warm golden light, natural glow, creamy background blur, faded warm colors, soft contrast, nostalgic cinematic atmosphere, vintage snapshot feel, polished photographic filter, subtle light haze, dreamy analog aesthetic

Usage: Place this entire string at the beginning of your prompt. The (Afterlight Filters:1.1) at the start acts as a weighted primary trigger — it tells Krea 2 / Z Image Turbo to give the Afterlight filter aesthetic a 10% boost in influence over the rest of the prompt.

Prompting Tips for Best Results

✅ Do This:

Start with (Afterlight Filters:1.1) for strongest style adherence
Include the full trigger string to activate all filter elements
Specify the filter preset you want: Instant400, Halo, IR-Blue, KX35, Celesta, Shade, G200, Superia, M120, Kaleida
Define the light source: golden hour, backlight, window light, streetlights
Mention film grain, dust, halation, light leaks, prism refraction
Add warm golden light, natural glow, creamy background blur
Request faded warm colors, soft contrast, nostalgic atmosphere
Use analog film references: Kodak Portra, Superia, instant film
Keep the subject focused — 1–3 elements for maximum filter clarity

❌ Avoid:

Flat, even lighting without any filter character
Overly clean digital look with no grain or texture
HDR, overly sharp, plastic skin
Bright neon without analog atmosphere
Crowded, chaotic scenes without a clear focal point
Forgetting to specify the filter preset
Overloading with too many presets at once
Using the trigger string at the end of the prompt (always at the beginning)

What This LoRA Excels At

✅ Instant film looks – Instant400, Polaroid vibe, dust and fade
✅ Halation glow – Halo filter, soft bloom around highlights
✅ Infrared color shift – IR-Blue, surreal blue foliage
✅ Vintage hues – KX35, soft faded colors, light leaks
✅ Warm film glow – Celesta, polished vintage portrait
✅ Golden hour bloom – Shade, window shade textures
✅ Red-muted tones – G200, nostalgic snapshot
✅ Muted highlights – Superia, delicate chromatic aberration
✅ Faded film – M120, dusty texture, washed highlights
✅ Prism effects – Kaleida, rainbow refraction
✅ Analog grain – authentic film texture
✅ Dust & scratches – vintage print imperfections
✅ Creamy bokeh – shallow depth of field
✅ Nostalgic cinematic atmosphere – dreamy analog mood
✅ Polished photographic filter – clean but stylized finish

What This LoRA Does NOT Excel At

❌ Flat, even lighting – this LoRA thrives on filter character and mood
❌ Bright, cheerful, comedy scenes – it prefers nostalgic, cinematic atmospheres
❌ Clean digital look – no grain, no filter, no texture
❌ HDR, overly sharp images – it softens and adds analog imperfection
❌ Cartoon, anime, or stylized illustration – keep it photographic
❌ Extreme chaos – crowded scenes without a clear focal point
❌ Purely modern fashion – this is about filter and light, not attire
❌ Overly saturated neon without atmosphere – it needs warmth and haze

Limitations & Notes for Krea 2 / Z Image Turbo

⚠️ Color balance can shift – if results look too warm or too cool, add specific color modifiers (e.g., cool blue tones, warm amber glow).

⚠️ Complex scenes with more than 3 subjects may dilute the filter focus — prioritize 1–2 figures for maximum analog depth.

⚠️ Grain intensity can be controlled with: light film grain, heavy analog grain, fine 35mm grain.

⚠️ Filter strength is controlled by LoRA weight — start at 0.75–1.0 for natural, increase to 1.5–2.0 for full analog immersion.

⚠️ The negative prompt is essential – always exclude flat lighting, clean digital look, HDR, no grain to maintain the signature aesthetic.

⚠️ (Afterlight Filters:1.1) should always be at the very beginning of your prompt for maximum effect — moving it elsewhere reduces its influence.

⚠️ Facial expressions can lean towards neutral or dreamy — use specific emotional descriptors (e.g., melancholic, wistful, serene, nostalgic) or place figures in soft backlight for best effect.

Credits & Philosophy

V67 Afterlight Filters celebrates the art of mobile analog photography — where a single tap transforms a moment into a nostalgic memory. Inspired by:

The Afterlight app – Instant400, Halo, IR-Blue, KX35, Celesta, Shade, G200, Superia, M120, Kaleida
Analog film stocks – Kodak Portra, Fuji Superia, instant film, expired film
Photographers – Fan Ho, William Eggleston, Nan Goldin, Ryan McGinley
Cinematic color grading – warm highlights, soft contrast, halation
Vintage snapshot aesthetics – dust, scratches, light leaks, faded colors

“A filter is not just a color grade. It is a feeling — a memory of light, grain, and imperfection.”
