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 <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/krea/Krea-2-Raw">Krea 2 Raw</a>. Not an official Krea product; not affiliated with or endorsed by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="http://Krea.ai">Krea.ai</a>, Inc.Requires the <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/lbouaraba/comfyui-krea2edit">ComfyUI-Krea2Edit node pack</a> — 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.<h2 id="what-it-does">What it does</h2><ul><li>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.</li><li>Local edits: recolor, add/remove/replace objects, attribute and outfit changes, with near-pixel preservation of the rest of the frame.</li><li>Replace-with-reference: "replace the woman with a big orangutan" — the replace verb is trained, locality holds.</li><li>Full-image restyles: global style with preserved composition.</li><li>Two-input edits (experimental): scene + person as separate references. Outfits and placement work well; see limitations for faces.</li><li>Composes with your LoRAs: character/body/style LoRAs stack on top and steer the prior — something closed editors structurally can't offer.</li></ul><h2 id="recommended-settings">Recommended settings</h2>Task type Model Steps CFG Most edits (add, recolor, restyle, re-stage) Turbo 8 1.0 Removals / large deletions Raw 20 3.0<ul><li>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).</li><li>Generate at ≤2MP. Above that, source content can bleed or subjects duplicate (training was 768/1024-class).</li><li><code>grounding_px</code> is a real dial (trained range 512–1536): lower values = stronger edit adherence and more uniform scene changes; higher values = stronger identity/likeness. 768 is a balanced default; try 1024+ for people.</li><li>At CFG &gt; 1, ground the negative too (empty prompt + same image).</li><li>LoRA strength 1.0.</li></ul><h2 id="known-limitations-(honest-list)">Known limitations (honest list)</h2><ul><li>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."</li><li>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).</li><li>Removal works but is not yet reliable — always use the Raw/CFG 3 recipe; expect occasional re-renders instead of deletions.</li><li>Outfit swaps are hit-or-miss — changing what a person wears sometimes works cleanly and sometimes doesn't apply; reroll or rephrase.</li><li>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. If preservation matters, compare against the source and reroll.</li><li>Highly unusual visual content (extravagant hairstyles, extreme body types) can drift toward the base prior — a subject LoRA stacked on top fixes this.</li></ul><h2 id="license">License</h2>The LoRA weights are a Derivative Model of Krea 2 and are distributed under the <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/conradlocke/krea2-identity-edit/blob/main/LICENSE.pdf">Krea 2 Community License Agreement</a> (see also <code>NOTICE</code>).
