It works both ways. The Additional Network extension is just another way of using lora's. It is limited to 5, but if you can't get the result that you want with 5 or less then you are probably doing something wrong.. The only benefit with it is that you can separate UNet/Text Encoder weights and fine adjust both. It's a bit overkill for most since generating images with ai isn't that consistent and predictable. But if you have the need to tickle your OCD go for it.
Well look through civitai, I have seen many similar types of images there. The prompt is what will make it happen for you and the checkpoint will facilitate it. Some checkpoints will be easier to work with than others but it will not be the thing that makes an image possible or not possible, only easier and relatively more consistent. Then of course lora's and similar can of course make it easier as well, as long as it has been trained by someone who has a clue. Don't assume that it was the latest version of the checkpoint that was being used in those images and it's not for sure that it was the same checkpoint in all images.
Additional networks are buggy and not working with some loras, I do not recommend to use it and they are also extending the promting time writing, as all promts I have they are pre-written in .doc
No one is ignoring your question, it's just that no one knows either way for sure. The only way is to test it for yourself and you did and couldn't see any difference. Essentially I think you answered your own question. It would be my guess also that it doesn't matter where you put it in the prompt since it's not a normal prompt token.
A really good place for info about training lora's is this
No one can help you with that little information. Are you using Auto1111? How did you install it? And most importantly what kind of gpu do you have and how much vram? Have you made sure you meet the required
to me look like
It's impossible without the meta data. We can only guess and speculate. Or you can message the poster and ask pretty please with sugar on top.. Insta account is dead fyi.
