Krea 2 Head-Swap Pitfalls: How to Fix Waxy Skin and CGI Traces?
Mysterious-Heart8909 · reddit · 2026-08-05
A Reddit user detailed their workflow for realistic head swapping using Krea 2 in ComfyUI, highlighting a technical bottleneck. While identity transfer is successful, the output face exhibits synthetic traits like waxy skin, dark eye sockets, and uniform tones, failing to blend naturally with the original scene's lighting.
The user analyzed potential causes, including lighting mismatches between references, forced 1024x1024 resizing, and the lack of local masking. The discussion explores whether a professional approach—completing the swap first, then locally refining the skin at higher resolutions with a feathered mask—would yield better results.
