For A1111, I won't be able to give any recommendations, because I don't use it, but I think that with a few tests you will end up finding what works best.

Pixel Alchemy Hyper V16

It's a merging of Pixel Alchemy V1.6 model with 2 LoRAs :

but feel free to test others settings, specially for A1111

Pixel Alchemy V16

Version 1.6 of Pixel Alchemy brings a significant improvement in the rendering of photorealistic portraits, the texture of the skin appears more natural.

It's a merging of Pixel Alchemy V1.3 with 1 checkpoint and 2 LoRAs

• RealVisXl model : https://civitai.com/models/139562?modelVersionId=344487

• Steve McCurry - Photography SDXL LoRa : https://civitai.com/models/213283/steve-mccurry-photography-sdxl-lora?modelVersionId=240247

• Essenz - Better Photography (Style LoRa for SDXL 1.0) : https://civitai.com/models/198378?modelVersionId=250573

Pixel Alchemy V13

It's a merge of 4 checkpoints and 3 LORAs (see list below).
One of the main goals is was to obtain a very versatile checkpoint. It's NSFW one.

Quite efficient in rendering landscapes, realistic portraits, surrealism and gives better results with noise reinjection in ComfyUI (see below, the recommended extension)

All my uploaded images were generated with low strength ADetailer (Eyes / hands / Face).
