An SDXL 1.0 LoRa made by AI_Characters for producing photos with a better quality than base SDXL. Generally photographic images produced with this LoRa should exhibit better and more accurate to real-life lighting, better eyes (may need to be inpainted though) and skin, more and more realistic details, more coherency, very slightly better composition, more intense colors, etc...

While this LoRa was trained solely with high-quality post-processed photos as its dataset and will skew towards such results, with good and extensive prompting (see the example prompts below) one can also output much more realistic and true to real-life results than base SDXL can.

This LoRa is only a slight to moderate improvement upon the base SDXL output. Don't expect huge differences between this LoRa and base SDXL. But the improvements are there and noticable, especially the fewer positive and/or negative prompt words you use!
