Krea 2 LoKr likeness guide says 750 steps is usually enough for near-perfect face training
LilBrownBebeShoes · reddit · 2026-07-22
This Reddit guide explains how to train Krea 2 LoKr for near-perfect likeness with far fewer steps than many users expect.
Key recommendations
- Use about 20 high-quality images, up to 40 if the dataset is weaker.
- Include 2–5 full-body shots so the model learns proportions and height.
- Vary hairstyles and situations to preserve flexibility.
- Auto-caption with ai-toolkit, but avoid using the person’s real name; instead create a short trigger word.
- Add tags like “low quality” or “vintage” when needed so the model doesn’t learn artifacts.
Training settings shared in the post
- LoKr factor: 16
- Resolution: 768
- Total steps: 3000, with likeness usually good by step 750
- Advanced options: Automagic2, Sigmoid, Balanced, differential guidance at level 3
- VRAM: about 18–20 GB
- Runtime: roughly 40–45 minutes for a 750-step run on an RTX 3090
The author also notes that highly detailed features like tattoos may require higher resolutions such as 1024 or 1280, though some detail can still be lost.
