ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI Extra Samplers

ComfyUI Extra Samplers Introduction

ComfyUI-Extra-Samplers is an extension designed to enhance the capabilities of ComfyUI by providing additional sampling methods and functionalities. This extension is particularly useful for AI artists who want to experiment with different sampling techniques to achieve unique and high-quality results in their AI-generated artwork. By incorporating a variety of samplers and noise models, ComfyUI-Extra-Samplers allows for greater flexibility and creativity in the image generation process.

How ComfyUI Extra Samplers Works

At its core, ComfyUI-Extra-Samplers works by introducing new sampling methods and noise models into the ComfyUI framework. Sampling in the context of AI art generation refers to the process of iteratively refining an image from random noise to a coherent and aesthetically pleasing output. Different sampling methods can influence the style, quality, and characteristics of the final image.

Think of it like sculpting a statue from a block of marble. Each sampling method is like a different set of tools and techniques that the artist can use to shape the marble. Some tools might be better for fine details, while others are better for rough shaping. ComfyUI-Extra-Samplers provides a variety of these "tools" to help you achieve the desired artistic effect.

Supreme Sampler Features

• Step Method: Choose from various step methods like Euler, DPM, and Runge-Kutta.
• Centralization: Subtracts the mean from the denoised latent for sharper results.
• Normalization: Divides the denoised latent by the standard deviation to increase contrast.
• Edge Enhancement: Sharpens the latent and applies a bilateral blur for enhanced edges.
• Perphist: Adds the previous denoised variable to the current one using vector projection.
• Substeps: Iterates over each step multiple times to average the results for higher quality.
• Noise Modulation: Modulates noise based on the denoising step or other functionalities.
• Modulation Strength: Adjusts the strength of the noise modulation.
• Modulation Dims: Chooses where to apply noise modulation (channels, height, width).
• Reversible Dampen: Adjusts the multiplier for reversible correction in samplers.
