Hardcore Workflows

These are 3 Workflows

My workflow is split into three parts. First, I create low-resolution images with SDXL, Zimange, or WAN2.2, mostly using standard ComfyUI workflows. These runs use fewer steps so I can generate a lot of images very quickly. Then I go through the results and sort the good ones from the bad ones.

The second pass is always done with SDXL using img2img with LCM and a BigLust model, keeping the same prompt and adding a 1.5× upscale node. This fixes most of the anatomical errors. You have to adjust the denoise setting depending on the individual case.

The third run uses Flux 4B (small) image edit to push the image toward the style I want. The SDXL upscale tends to make the skin look flat, and this step makes the picture look realistic again. An example prompt is: “Transform the lighting in this photograph into a warm incandescent glow, with amber-toned illumination, cozy high-kelvin warmth, and soft falloff that gently smooths surrounding textures.
