🌟 Ernie Image Turbo + Z-Image-Turbo (Refiner) 🌟
Get the blazing speed of Ernie without the visual artifacts!
🛑 The Problem:
While Ernie Image Turbo is incredibly powerful and fast, it has a known, frustrating tendency to degrade otherwise great generations with harsh blowouts (overexposed highlights) and heavy stress lines.
✨ The Solution:
This workflow uses Z-Image-Turbo as a dedicated refiner to clean up the output. By running the Ernie generation through a quick Z-Image pass, it completely smooths out those harsh artifacts, leaving you with a polished, pristine final image.
⚙️ How It Works (The Sweet Spot):
This setup is specifically tuned to fix artifacts while strictly preserving your original composition:
• Base Pass: Runs 8 steps on Ernie Image Turbo to establish the core image.
• Refiner Pass: Runs 4 steps on Z-Image Turbo. • Denoising Strength: Set to exactly 0.35.
💡 Why 0.35 Strength?
This low denoising strength is the magic number. It ensures the original Ernie composition is preserved as much as possible, while giving Z-Image just enough room to act as a cleanup crew for the blown-out lighting and stress lines.
