- Hard to get wrongBefore training starts, duplicates, tiny pictures and wrong descriptions are caught – not an hour into the run.
- Nothing to loseEvery change happens on a safe copy and your originals stay untouched. Cloud training will get a spending limit that stops it automatically.Some of this is coming soon

Three quick answers.
What is a LoRA?A small AI model that remembers what one thing looks like. Add it when you make pictures and the AI can draw that thing.
Do I need to write code?No. Pick a preset and press start; if you like fine-tuning, every setting is there.
Are my pictures safe?Your pictures stay on your Mac, and every change happens on a copy first – the originals stay untouched.
