A full-potential version of a recently proposed generalization of the local-density method (LDA+U) is used to study the influence of impurities, lattice, and magnetic relaxation in La{sub 2{minus}x}Sr{sub x}CuO{sub 4}. The carriers form mean-field analogs of Zhang-Rice singlets, which are only slightly affected by impurity and in-plane lattice relaxation effects. On the other hand, an {open_quotes}anti-Jahn-Teller{close_quotes} polaron, characterized by a 0.26 {Angstrom} shorter Cu to apicaloxygen bond length and triplet spin, is nearly stable. Although the impurity potentials are similar, the self-localization effects are much stronger in La{sub 2{minus}x}Sr{sub x}NiO{sub 4}.
