12-step Krea 2-distilled LoRA pushes Anima to photorealism, with full pipeline and fixes

The author retrained a Krea 2 Turbo-distilled LoRA on Anima with a photorealistic-caption dataset, making outputs consistently photoreal at CFG 1 / 12 steps. Trade-offs: crushed micro-details and inherited noise, fixable via a 0.5–0.7 denoise second pass into Krea 2 Turbo (same VAE) or standard img2img. Key finding: changing only the dataset completely flips the distilled model's style bias; training scripts are public.
