SDXL users seek better character pose control with reference images

A user on Reddit is seeking advice on how to effectively control character poses in Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) while maintaining the character's appearance from a reference image. They are using a combination of IP-Adapter for appearance and ControlNet for pose conditioning, but are encountering conflicts where the model duplicates features or creates inconsistent results. The user is looking for methods to improve pose control without extensive retraining of SDXL due to resource limitations. AI
