# 📷 Analog Style — SDXL LoRA | Zavychroma XL
A style LoRA trained on 465 real analog film photographs scraped from
the film photography community, covering a wide range of cameras, film stocks,
subjects, and lighting conditions. It pushes Zavychroma XL toward authentic
analog aesthetics: organic grain, warm or faded tones, soft contrast, scanner
artifacts, and the beautiful imperfections of real film.

## ✅ Recommended Settings
- Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras or Euler a
- Steps: 25–35

## 💡 Prompting Tips
- The trigger analogstyle alone already shifts the aesthetic — dial the LoRA
weight up/down to control intensity
- Name a film stock to push toward that specific look:
Kodak Portra 400, CineStill 800T, Fuji Velvia 100, Ilford HP5
- Describe light explicitly: golden hour, window light,
overcast soft light, neon street light
- For portraits add: `shallow depth of field, slight lens aberration,
film grain, scanned negative`
- For black and white: black and white, Ilford HP5, high grain, deep blacks

## 📌 Technical Notes
- UNet-only — text encoder untouched, so prompts fully control
subject and composition
- Attention-only (Q/K/V/Out) — clean style transfer without distorting
spatial layout
- Full depth coverage of down_blocks_2, mid_block, and up_blocks_0
= strong style influence even at moderate weights
