ComfyUI Node: 🔶 Load Image Batch

🔶 Load Image Batch:

The chaosaiart_Load_Image_Batch node is designed to facilitate the batch loading of images from a specified directory, making it an essential tool for AI artists who work with large sets of images. This node automates the process of sequentially loading images, ensuring that you can efficiently manage and utilize multiple images in your creative workflows. By handling the indexing and loading of images, it allows you to focus on the artistic aspects of your projects without worrying about the technical details of image management. The node also includes mechanisms to handle edge cases, such as repeating the first or last image if the index goes out of bounds, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted workflow.

🔶 Load Image Batch Input Parameters:

restart

The restart parameter determines whether the image loading process should start from the beginning. If set to 0, the node continues from where it left off; if set to 1 or higher, it restarts the loading process from the first image. This is useful for resetting the batch loading process when needed.

image

The image parameter is the initial image input for the node. This image serves as a reference point for the batch loading process and is used to determine the dimensions and other properties of the images to be loaded.

Preview_Max

The Preview_Max parameter sets the maximum number of images to be previewed in a batch. It accepts an integer value with a default of 50, a minimum of 0, and a maximum of 10000. This parameter helps in managing the number of images processed at a time, ensuring that the system resources are used efficiently.

🔶 Load Image Batch Output Parameters:

IMAGE

The IMAGE output parameter provides the loaded image or batch of images. This output is crucial for further processing or manipulation in your AI art projects. It ensures that the images are correctly loaded and ready for use in subsequent nodes or processes.

🔶 Load Image Batch Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the directory specified for image loading contains the images in the correct format and order to avoid any unexpected results.
• Use the restart parameter to control the flow of image loading, especially when working with large batches or when you need to reset the process.
• Adjust the Preview_Max parameter based on your system's capabilities to optimize performance and prevent overloading.

🔶 Load Image Batch Common Errors and Solutions:

Chaosaiart - Load Batch Image: Error: Empty Directory!

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified directory does not contain any images.
• Solution: Ensure that the directory path is correct and that it contains the images you intend to load.

Chaosaiart - Load Image Batch: Below first image not allowed, repeat first image

• Explanation: This message indicates that the index number is below zero, which is not allowed.
• Solution: Adjust the index number to start from zero or higher to ensure valid image loading.

Chaosaiart - Load Image Batch: its Last IMG, i will repeat it.

• Explanation: This message indicates that the index number has reached or exceeded the number of images in the directory.
• Solution: Ensure that the index number is within the valid range of the image list to avoid repeating the last image.
