Community guides compare Krea 2 LoKr vs LoRA training for likeness

One creator trained a 1536px Krea 2 LoKr against Krea 2 RAW and inferred on krea2_turbo_fp8_scaled.safetensors to test wardrobe and character consistency across 10 concert eras. Another, after training 100+ Krea 2 character LoRAs, reports more training does not automatically mean better likeness — small clean datasets sometimes beat larger ones.
