Z-Image-Controlnet-2.1-8-step text-to-image+lora face fix & paste-back+upscale

This workflow enhances local inpainting for the Z-Image model by using a two-stage rendering process to improve character consistency, especially in challenging scenarios like small faces in a large frame. In the first "high-noise" pass, ControlNet 2.1 guides the overall structure while a character LoRA at low strength establishes the foundational facial features. The second "low-noise" pass increases the LoRA's strength to full to accurately restore the character's identity, bypassing ControlNet to allow for finer aesthetic refinement. To use this, you provide an image and mask the region for inpainting. The workflow also supports two upscaling options for the final output: a diffusion-based tiled upscaler (TTP) and SeedVR2, which offers a more faithful, high-resolution enlargement. This dual-pass approach balances strong structural control with high-fidelity detail, making it effective for complex inpainting tasks. 🎥 YouTube Video Tutorial Want to know what this workflow actually does and how to start fast?
