Krea 2 Identity Edit

#v1.2 — new things

In the model:

Better likeness

Character sheets — use and creation

Head/face swap (+ eye/person replace) — thanks to stablellama

Outpainting

Inpainting

Try-on

Better person removal

Higher fidelity + a real high-res pass

In the nodes:

ref_boost — reference-fidelity dial ← don't miss this one, try between 2 and 6

Fixed blurry images / fit geometry (also removes the old "match the aspect ratio" requirement)

Settings: Turbo, 8–12 steps (8 = composition, 12 = face detail, ~10 balanced), CFG 1.0, LoRA strength 1.0. Removals/deletions: Two-ref edits: scene = image 1, person = image 2.

Requires the [ComfyUI-Krea2Edit nodes](https://github.com/lbouaraba/comfyui-krea2edit) — see [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/lbouaraba/comfyui-krea2edit/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md).

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 Krea 2 Raw. Not an official Krea product; not affiliated with or endorsed by Krea.ai, Inc.

Requires the ComfyUI-Krea2Edit node pack — 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.

What it does

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.

Local edits: recolor, add/remove/replace objects, attribute and outfit changes, with near-pixel preservation of the rest of the frame.

Replace-with-reference: "replace the woman with a big orangutan" — the replace verb is trained, locality holds.

Full-image restyles: global style with preserved composition.

Two-input edits (experimental): scene + person as separate references. Outfits and placement work well; see limitations for faces.

Composes with your LoRAs: character/body/style LoRAs stack on top and steer the prior — something closed editors structurally can't offer.

Recommended settings

Task type Model Steps CFG Most edits (add, recolor, restyle, re-stage) Turbo 8 1.0 Removals / large deletions Raw 20 3.0

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).

Generate at ≤2MP. Above that, source content can bleed or subjects duplicate (training was 768/1024-class).

grounding_px 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.

At CFG > 1, ground the negative too (empty prompt + same image).

LoRA strength 1.0.

Known limitations (honest list)

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."

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).

Removal works but is not yet reliable — always use the Raw/CFG 3 recipe; expect occasional re-renders instead of deletions.

Outfit swaps are hit-or-miss — changing what a person wears sometimes works cleanly and sometimes doesn't apply; reroll or rephrase.

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.

Highly unusual visual content (extravagant hairstyles, extreme body types) can drift toward the base prior — a subject LoRA stacked on top fixes this.
