How do I push AI portraits (generated by ChatGPT) from ~9.0/10 realism to 9.9+/10 without identity drift? (RTX 3050 4GB, ComfyUI)

Im building an AI influencer and have hit a realism wall.

The images are already good in terms of:

Consistent identity

Anatomy

Clothing

Backgrounds

Composition

The remaining issues are all microdetails:

Plastic/smooth skin

Weak pores & skin texture

AI-looking hair strands/baby hairs

Slightly synthetic eyelashes/eyebrows

Phone camera realism (lighting, optics, sensor look)

Hardware:

RTX 3050 Laptop (4GB VRAM)

Ryzen 7 5800H

24GB RAM

Windows 11

ComfyUI (--lowvram)

I've already tried:

FaceDetailer (low denoise = almost no change, higher denoise = identity drift)

Different checkpoints

Upscalers

SUPIR (VRAM/model loading issues)

At this point, I'm not looking for generic "use FaceDetailer" advice.

My goal is simple: improve skin, hair and overall photographic realism while preserving the exact identity.

If you had my hardware, what workflow would you build today?

I'm open to completely different approaches (tile refinement, restoration models, img2img, post-processing, camera simulation, etc.). If you've actually solved this problem, I'd really appreciate hearing your workflow.

RefControl — LoRA family for FLUX.2 Klein

I'd like to share my RefControl LoRA family for FLUX.2 Klein.

While FLUX.2 Klein 9B already has decent built-in reference capabilities, these LoRAs provide noticeably better identity preservation, follow the reference image more consistently, and are less prone to mixing details in more challenging cases.

FLUX.2 Klein 9B

FLUX.2 Klein 4B

LoRA weights and ready-to-use ComfyUI workflows are available on each Hugging Face model page.

Enough of Higgsfield, I created a new, more accessible platform

Hi everyone! This is Uisato. Just a few weeks ago, I launched my platform, Uisato Studio, to compete with Higgsfield, who are constantly profiting from deceptive and abusive marketing. I've been working on this platform for nine months, and it offers video and image creation services at a fraction of the cost using the same SOTA models, plus an intelligent agentic orchestration layer that helps you optimize prompt + settings based on your goals to create the best possible video.

I'd love for you to try it out. Currently, most services are offered at a promotional introductory price (at cost), which I'll try to maintain for as long as possible: https://uisato.studio/

Photorealism using Flux.2 klein - for feedback

I have been experimenting with some new ideas and for achieving photorealism from Flux.2 klein 9b. The images have been generated using flux.2 klein 9b distilled model and my own experimental nodes. I have correct color and light a bit but have not added any grain, blur, sharpness etc.

No lora or modified checkpoint was used.

The prompts used: https://pastebin.com/PPYPDEPF

So impressed with Flux.2 Klein for photograph restoration

I'm restoring and recolouring some photos and honestly I've been so blown away with Flux out of the box in the Draw Things app. The photo was very poorly reproduced (I think taken with a flash camera!) so I gave the models a good deal of freedom in my prompting. I think Flux created the most naturalistic, realistic, and lively photo. Qwen Image Edit did a truly abysmal job and took many times as long (I confess I may not have set Qwen up properly). Nano Banana Pro did an okay job but was impossible to fine tune, invented details, and made the photo look really gaudy and unpleasant. A triumph for Flux.

My prompt, if helpful:

> Restore and colorize this photograph of a wedding group into a clean, sharp, photorealistic color image. Keep every person's face, features, expression, and pose exactly as in the original — only repair and colorize. Do not add, remove, relocate, or alter any object, person, structure, or background element; keep the exact same composition, framing, and every item that is part of the actual scene. Never treat anything in the photographed scene as a defect to clean up. Use natural, realistic, period-accurate colors. Keep every person's face, features, expression, and pose exactly as in the original — only repair and colorize, never change anyone's identity.
