Post Production Workflow on Characters
I create all my images in Daz Studio, handling everything manually:
Pose, lighting, scene, character, and clothing are all set up and fine-tuned before rendering.
Once rendered, I bring the image into Photoshop for cleanup:
Fix any weird black lines Daz sometimes adds to character faces.
Correct clothing issues and clipping problems.
Adjust any other minor imperfections that pop up in the render.
After that, I run the cleaned-up image through ComfyUI with Flux, a locally run AI model:
I set the denoise to 0.08, so the AI barely affects the image.
Flux essentially tries to "recreate" my image, but with minimal interference.
Then, I take the Flux-processed image back into Photoshop for final touch-ups:
I overlay the Flux output onto the original and delete everything except for areas that improve the face and hair.
Hair is a major weak point in Daz, so I usually let Flux completely regenerate it for a more natural look.
The Role of AI in My Workflow
Some people would say I use AI—technically, they'd be about 0.08% correct (fitting, given my denoise setting).
I don't let AI do the work for me. Everything—posing, lighting, rendering, and cleanup—is done manually.
I use AI as a tool, just like Photoshop filters or post-processing effects. It enhances details, not creates them.
This workflow ensures my images look as realistic and polished as possible while still being fully my work.
