Unlock Advanced Lighting Optimization: A Step-by-Step Workflow for Stunning Images
1. Workflow Overview

This is an advanced lighting optimization workflow for photo editing and digital art, featuring:
Intelligent lighting reconstruction with Xiaohongshu Cinematic Model
Physically accurate lighting control via IC-Light
IPAdapter+DetailTransfer dual-engine detail enhancement
Adaptive Contrast-Aware Sharpening (CAS) + 4x upscaling
2. Core Models
Model | Function | Source |
---|---|---|
Xiaohongshu Cinematic Model | Base image generation | Built-in |
ICLight_sd15_fc | Light redirection | |
IPAdapter PLUS | Feature preservation | Requires |
3. Key Nodes
Node | Purpose | Installation |
---|---|---|
| High-frequency detail boost | Built-in |
| Lighting direction control | Requires |
| Local detail migration | Needs |
| Smart sharpening | Built-in |
4. Workflow Stages
Phase 1: Input Preprocessing
Input: Source image (e.g.
4181 (2).jpg
)Processing:
Size normalization (1464px long edge)
VAE encoding to latent space
Phase 2: Lighting Optimization
Core Techniques:
IC-Light (strength=0.345) for main light control
IPAdapter (weight=0.5) for feature retention
FreeU (b1=1.5, b2=1.6) for detail enhancement
Phase 3: Post-Processing
DetailTransfer blends original/generated details
CAS Sharpening (0.3) → 4x Upscale → Final output
5. Inputs & Outputs
Input Parameters:
Image: Recommended ≥1464px (long edge)
Prompt: "Optimize the lighting and details" (via
easy positive
node)Negative Prompt: Built-in hand/limb repair terms
Output:
PNG with full generation metadata
