Contrast Controller

Now you can control contrast in SDXL just like using a slider on your monitor.

Most importantly, the effect of this LoRA is stable, linear, and has ZERO side effect (not an exaggeration, it's really mathematically linear and zero).

What does this LoRA do?

It can amplify (strength >0) or reduce (strength <0) the contrast of your base model.

400KiB LoRA file? Is the file broken?

No. It is a fully functional LoRA.

How to use it?

• Just apply it as normal LoRA.

• Recommended strength is -0.5~0.5.

• You don't have to set the patch strength for text encoder. This LoRA does not patch it.

• Also recommend adjusting your CFG scale.

Supported models?

All Illustrious based models.

What's the training data? Why zero side effect on style?

This LoRA does not come from training.

I know how stable diffusion works. There is no contrast. This is BS.

Yes it is BS, so to speak. Because it's simple to understand.

Here is the description for advance users:

It can control the "strength" of the U-net output and make it "smoother".

Sounds like FreeU, RescaleCFG and DynamicCFG-Fix etc., but much more simple and easy to use.

So you no longer have to choose between "creativity/low CFG scale" and "high contrast". Now you can have both.

You can increase unet strength so you can lower CFG scale, and get more creative result and details.

Or vice versa, reduce unet strength so you can use higher CFG to get a stable and clean result, without oversaturation.

Share merges using this LoRA is allowed. However, you must credit the creator and provide a link to this page. It is easy for me to know whether a model merged my LoRA, because the weight pattern will become very unique after this LoRA applied. A normally trained model will never have such kind of pattern.

Guys, remember to leave feedback in comment section. Don't write feedback in Civitai review system, it was poorly designed, literally nobody can see the review.

Have fun.
