📖 Extended description

This LoRA was primarily trained on humans and characters, but it works with objects and scenes as well.
The main purpose is to preserve identity — facial features, clothing, style — from the reference image, while using the canny edge map to define contours, composition, and layout.

⚙️ How to use

Concatenate two images side by side:
- Left: reference image (person, character, or object).
- Right: canny edges (line structure).
Add the trigger word refcontrolcanny in your prompt.
Adjust LoRA weight (recommended 0.8–1.0) depending on how strictly you want to follow edges.

✅ Example prompt

refcontrolcanny, change canny edges to photo with reference from left

🎯 What it does

Preserves style and identity of the reference.
Uses canny edges to control structure, outline, and composition.
Produces consistent results across different poses and layouts.

⚡ Tips

Works best if the canny map captures clean edges with minimal noise.

📌 Use cases

Character consistency in illustrations and comics.
Stylized redraws of objects with sharp outlines.
Scene composition based on silhouettes.
Rapid prototyping of layouts and storyboards.
