LORA's how do you make one?
I see a lot of them being made and the tutorials I found don't explain much and were out of date. How can you make a proper lora I would like to know but i can't seem to figure it out?

Well I figured it out so I'll just post a basic tutorial for anyone who's interested.
First things first go here:
GitHub - bmaltais/kohya_ss
If already running automatic1111 you would have all dependencies aside from visual studio. If you don't have it download it.
Run powershell in administrator mode and type in 'Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted'
then type in 'a'.
Make a folder for your kohya installation.
Open a new powershell window and type in the the command to switch to your new folder it should look like "cd 'D:\kohya'"
actually use the (') ignore the (").
then copy the command that starts with 'git clone https://github.com/bmaltais/kohya_ss.git' from the github page and paste and enter.
(If a warning appears press yes and enter)
then copy the command that starts with '.\venv\Scripts\activate' from the github page and paste and enter.
(If a warning appears press yes and enter)
when downloaded click the 'upgrade.ps1' to update the software.
open with the 'gui.bat' file
Start any model/lora creation by going to the tools and then the 'Dreambooth/Lora Folder preparation'. This just puts in a way that the tool can read the data.
As usual prepare your training data in stable diffusion with the preprocess and tagging of images.
I'm still fairly new "figured it out a few hours ago but that should be enough to figure out how to start.
These are two resources that are frequently referred to by the community and seem to cover the topic well:
I hope you find these helpful.
