Skin Details for Portraits

I’ve been working on a LoRA to tackle the overly airbrushed skin textures that are pretty common with the Flux base model. If you’re finding that your images often come out with skin that’s just too smooth and soft, this LoRA might help. When you apply it at a weight between 0.5 and 0.85, it adds more structure to the skin, bringing out pores and tiny imperfections that make faces look more natural and realistic.

For extreme close-up shots, I recommend using a lower weight to avoid overdoing it. Give it a try and let me know what you think—I’d love to hear your feedback!

Trigger words are not absolutely necessary. But if they are, then “detailed skin” and “detailed skin pores” will work.

For the training, I used images with a resolution of 684x1024 to 1024x1024.
