- Description: Flux.2 VAE was specifically retrained to handle the 4MP native resolution and complex specular highlights (the "glint" on ornaments). Using an older Flux.1 VAE with the Flux.2 [dev] model can result in:
- Color Banding: Subtle "rings" in the gradients of silk or chiffon fabrics.
- Melted Ornaments: Fine silver or gold filigree appearing blurry or merged.
- Artifacts: Small "static" or "noise" on the skin in high-contrast lighting.
