This post demonstrates using reference images with control maps in FLUX.2 instead of training LoRAs, allowing users to fuse a reference image with pose or edge control data while preserving identity and style from the reference . The technique was primarily trained on humans but can apply to stylized characters and objects, transferring facial features, clothing, and other details from the reference while adapting them to the control map's pose or structure .
