# Usage

You'll need either ComfyUI or Forge Neo (or any other UI that supports it) to run it. Use with the required text encoder and VAE file that's necessary to run it.

# My Settings

```
Resolution: between 512^2 and 1536^2
Sampling Method: Euler or ER SDE (My own preference buy you can try others)
Scheduler: Simple
Sampling Steps: 8
CFG Scale: 1

# Prompting Guide

For people using Krea2 for the first time after using CLIP-based models like NoobAi, Illustrious XL, SDXL, etc., please read this part.

Quality tags are unnecessary so just write the prompt without it. Krea 2 uses natural language for it's prompting so you need to actually describe your image rather than just using tags. Avoid tags if possible. So instead of:

```
1boy, nude, muscular, short hair, brown hair
```

You need to prompt it like this:

A nude muscular man with short brown hair.

Try to elaborate your prompts more, but at the same time be concise and brief too. You don't need to add too much flavor texts, just prompt what you need. Too many unnecessary texts can 'distract' the AI from generating what you actually want. For example:

```
He casually holds a sleek smartphone in his right hand, gripping it naturally with a relaxed yet deliberate posture.
```

Instead, it should just be:

```
He holds a smartphone in his right hand.
```

Sometimes those extra keywords can help especially when describing a physical trait or appearance, but if it's an ambiguous language that's open to anyone interpretation, then it's better to not include them (but if you're doing artistic gens then those extra flavor text might be helpful).

Also, no prompting weights. Krea2 works differently than other models like Anima and Illustrious. You can use weights, but it'll probably have little to no effect. Instead, repeat the concept you want to emphasize on in the prompts. For example:

```
1boy, muscular, (huge pectorals:3)
```

Instead, it should be:

```
A muscular man with very large pectorals. He stands confidently, emphasizing his massive chest size. His extremely gigantic pecs is glistening in the sun.
```

Prompt ordering does matter. It doesn't have to be perfect or have to be in the exact same sequence but it does help. Most of the time, it goes like this:

```
Character/subject → Clothing → Pose/action → setting → Camera/composition/ → lighting → style/aethetics
```

Camera angles and zooms in Krea2 is a bit tricky and can be a bit annoying sometimes. It's not as simple as adding weights to tags like '(from below:3)' and that's it. It's a bit hard to explain so check out this Reddit post and this Civitai article if you want to learn more about how to effectively prompt for the camera angle.

Text should be in quotes, like in Anima. Example:

```
A man wearing a blue shirt with a black text that reads "HOMOFIDELIS"
```

Lastly, no negative prompts. At CFG = 1, the AI ignores the negative prompt anyway. But at the same time, do not put 'no' prompts in the positive. Instead, try to describe the thing you want to exclude without mentioning it. For instance:

```
A photo of a theme park, no humans.
```

Can be written like this:

```
A photo of an empty and isolated theme park.
```

There are actually a lot more to cover with the prompting stuff but most of you probably didn't even read the first paragraph, so I'll just stop right here lol..
