Chroma HD - CFG 1 with Working Negative prompt - Condensed Clean Workflow - GGUF

A well trained character lora greatly improves the output. All of my examples are without a character Lora.

## MODELS - For 8GB VRAM or more

[Chroma1-HD-Q8_0](https://huggingface.co/silveroxides/Chroma1-HD-GGUF/blob/main/Chroma1-HD-Q8_0.gguf)

or Q6_k for 6gb cards [Chroma1-HD-Q6_K](https://huggingface.co/silveroxides/Chroma1-HD-GGUF/blob/main/Chroma1-HD-Q6_K.gguf)

## VAE - this version saves vram

## LORA

if you don't like the quality or want less steps pick a higher rank

Standard flash

Seems to do better realism but needs more steps

Optional realism lora

## NOTES

Euler_ancestral + bong_tangent seem to have the best adherence to negative prompt

Adding a well trained Character lora significantly improves the quality of outputs and allows for lower steps, maybe even 8-10

Quality gets smoothed out with 768x1024 - highly recommended to use that resolution if you can. 640x960 is the other resolution I recommend.

If you get OOM error that you believe shouldn't be happening or it throws a detach error, just restart comfy, currently there is something off about the current version of comfy at the time of posting this.
