Flux Krea Comparisons

This isn't the first and it won't be the last comparison I do with the new Flux Krea model. The short of it is that I'm still on the fence, but I'm leaning toward a little disappointment. I thought the model would be something more, but in reality it's really like a LoRA. It's a style and it's different and you need to get used to it.

For this comparison, Jib Mix (analog version) wins. Though Flux dev, as with a photography LoRA, isn't that far off. I can see the use of Krea if you aren't going to use any LoRAs, but otherwise, I would just add the photography LoRAs that get you the style you're after.

I included a few generated with Flux Dev and my coarse film grain LoRA, the differences between them is in the LoRA strength. The same sampler, scheduler, prompt, seed, and image dimensions were used for each of these.

I think the film grain LoRA improved what Krea provided on its own. So it's definitely a usable model, don't get me wrong, but I really find Jib Mix (or even Flux Dev at times) to be better.

Generation Notes: eueler_a / beta was used with a guidance of 4, 20 steps.
