Regenerate 2K tool alters real faces, user finds

A user tested the Regenerate 2K tool, a refiner LoRA for StableDiffusion, and found that while it can add detail, it often alters the faces of real people or invents flaws. The testing involved multiple runs with the same seed on a personal GPU using MiniMax H3. The user concluded that for long videos of real people, the standard pipeline is preferable for maintaining identity, while landscapes might benefit from the tool. The detail enhancement primarily comes from the refiner LoRA itself, and a small draft image can lead to significant changes in the final output. AI

IMPACT This tool's limitations in preserving identity may hinder its adoption for realistic human image generation.
