Touch of Vintage Glow – SDXL LoRA
Touch of Vintage Glow is a distinct style LoRA trained for SDXL, designed to give your images a warm yellow-toned vintage atmosphere. It was trained on a mixed dataset:
60% personal photography (Sony A7III + 100–400mm, 30mm, and macro lens)
25% curated free images with soft yellow lighting and retro styling
15% AI-generated reference images in matching vintage style, created by me

Many of my personal photos used for this dataset were edited in Lightroom to emphasize the sun-faded warmth, soft vintage haze, and that characteristic yellow glow you see in old printed photos. The result is a consistent, strong stylistic effect that brings nostalgic warmth and analog depth to your generations. It also enhances yellow tones in the image, especially when you include them explicitly in your prompt.
This LoRA works especially well for portraits, interiors, NSFW compositions, animals, architecture, and even stylized landscapes. I recommend using it at a strength around 0.6 for the full effect without oversaturation. For even more realistic depth and softness, try combining it with Touch of Realism V2.
What it adds:
✦ Warm, analog color grading (yellow glow & desaturated highlights)
✦ Slight faded blacks and soft contrast edges
✦ A retro-photographic feel with natural light falloff
✦ Works beautifully with vintage objects, rooms or sunlit skin tones
