What Z-Image Base LoRA does well

Built for your trained LoRAs

If you trained on Z-Image Base, this is where your LoRA performs as intended, at full quality.

Photographic without any LoRA

On its own the base model draws natural light, skin and grain from a few sentences.

Photo to illustration

At strength around 0.6, an illustration LoRA redraws a photo while keeping the pose and setting.

Prompts that worked on Z-Image Base LoRA

Real outputs with the exact prompt we used, and why it worked. Hit Recreate to try the same settings.

Archery forest to ink
mature illustration with muted color and complex linework. An East Asian woman in her thirties with a long black ponytail, in a sleeveless black top and a leather arm guard, draws a recurve bow in a pine forest clearing at sunrise, gold shafts of light through the trunks and mist, ferns at her feet.

The LoRA's style phrase (mature illustration with muted colour and complex linework) opens the prompt, followed by a faithful description of the photo. That pairing keeps the composition while changing the medium.

Recreate
Stable first light
A photograph of a woman in her early thirties with dark brown skin and short natural curls, wearing fitted cream riding breeches, tall black boots and a loose white linen shirt with rolled sleeves and an open collar, leaning against a wooden stall door in a stable at first light while a chestnut horse rests its head beside her shoulder. Low sun cuts through the dusty air in long golden shafts, straw on the floor, warm film grain, 35mm lens, shallow depth of field.

No LoRA: a plain photographic description of person, clothing and light. The base model's own photo look is strong enough for portraits.

How to prompt Z-Image Base LoRA

  1. Use LoRAs trained on Z-Image Base. Turbo LoRAs can break the image here without an error.
  2. Run the same prompt and seed with and without the LoRA to check it's adding something.
  3. For photo to illustration, use a strength around 0.6; from about 0.75 the pose and setting get redrawn.

  1. Pick Z-Image Base LoRA in the image studio and add up to three Base-trained LoRA links.
  2. Describe what you want, since there is no negative prompt.
