Source description
Nickel Saffron
Clean realism, flexible polish.
Built off the same Illustrious SDXL base as Copper Thyme , Nickel Saffron trades the stylized strokes and sketch-driven grit for a cleaner, more grounded visual style . This merge focuses on natural lighting, smoother skin rendering, and believable textures across fabric, hair, and materials.
Where Copper Thyme leaned into illustrative flair — line work, stylized shading, and more aggressive silhouettes — this one softens the edges. You’ll get better balance in anatomy , more lifelike lighting , and cleaner contrast without losing creative flexibility. It’s tuned for portraits, fashion, fantasy, and semi-erotic renders that want polish without overbaked effects.
If you liked the structure and prompt control of Copper Thyme but wanted something more realistic — this is it.

🔧 Recommended Settings:
A well-rounded setup for general SDXL prompting.
Steps: 30
Sampler: euler_ancestral
Scheduler: karras
CFG (Guidance): 4
Some of the quality tags I use are:
🏷️ Recommended Quality Tags
masterpiece, cinematic lighting, anime_screencap, high detail, depth of field, (blurred background), (dramatic lighting), best quality, very aesthetic, soft reflections,
((painting)), (masterpiece, best quality, amazing quality), very aesthetic, ultra-detailed, highly detailed, intricate details, absurdres, (volumetric lighting, HDR, backlighting, blurry foreground),
Image-to-Image Tips
For upscaling workflows , I've found that a denoise range of 0.4 to 0.5 works best. This preserves structure while still enhancing detail without overbaking the image.
📋 ADetailer Settings
Here are the current ADetailer/YOLO settings shown:
steps: 10
cfg: 5.0
sampler_name: dpmpp_2m
scheduler: karras
denoise: 0.45
feather: 10
noise_mask: enabled
force_inpaint: disabled
bbox_threshold: 0.65
bbox_dilation: 1
bbox_crop_factor: 1.5
sam_detection_hint: mask-area
sam_dilation: 4
sam_threshold: 0.93
sam_bbox_expansion: 0
sam_mask_hint_threshold: 0.70
sam_mask_hint_use_negative: False
drop_size: 5
Maybe I have my settings wrong and if you know a fix let me know. I only pretend to know what I'm doing.
