Photonic Illusion V4 is my 3rd and possibly final illustrious checkpoint. This one has NoobAI merged, a few quality improvement LoRA's are baked in, it covers more prompting styles and I have added even more finetuned male data set training material and this one is much faster whereas my previous version I recommended 25-30 steps this one only needs 15 maybe 20 steps. I personally find 15 is all you need unless you have a lot of LoRA's in your prompt you may need the extra 5 steps to really flesh it out but a straight up prompt or just a couple LoRA's and 15 is perfect.

V3 is on here and V2 is exclusive to MageSpace and can be found here

Some basic recommended settings:

• On A1111/ForgeUI I recommend Euler a + Automatic

• Steps 15-20

• CFG: 4-5

• Size: 768 x 1024 or 768 x 1100 Upscaled 1.5 - 2x

• Hires: Denoising Strength: 0.30-0.40 + Hires upscale: x2, Hires steps: 10-15 and for Hires Upscaler I recommend: 4x_foolhardy_Remacri (as my first choice) or R-ESRGAN 4x+ or R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B
