ComfyUI Node: Image Pad For Outpaint Target Size

Image Pad For Outpaint Target Size:

The ImagePadForOutpaintTargetSize node is designed to facilitate the outpainting process by adjusting the dimensions of an image to match a specified target size. This node ensures that the image is either downscaled or padded appropriately to fit the desired dimensions while maintaining the original aspect ratio. By doing so, it provides a seamless canvas for outpainting, allowing you to extend the image boundaries without distorting the content. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to prepare images for further processing or enhancement, ensuring that the images are correctly sized and proportioned for their creative projects.

Image Pad For Outpaint Target Size Input Parameters:

target_width

This parameter specifies the desired width of the output image. The node will adjust the image dimensions to match this width, either by downscaling or adding padding. The target width must be a positive integer. The default value is typically set to the width of the original image if not specified.

target_height

This parameter specifies the desired height of the output image. Similar to the target width, the node will adjust the image dimensions to match this height, either by downscaling or adding padding. The target height must be a positive integer. The default value is typically set to the height of the original image if not specified.

upscale_method

This parameter determines the method used for upscaling the image if downscaling is required. Common methods include bilinear, bicubic, and nearest-neighbor interpolation. The choice of method can affect the quality and smoothness of the scaled image. The default value is usually set to a method that balances quality and performance.

feathering

This parameter controls the amount of feathering applied to the edges of the padded areas. Feathering helps to blend the padded regions with the original image, creating a smoother transition. The value is typically a float between 0 and 1, where 0 means no feathering and 1 means maximum feathering. The default value is often set to 0.5 for a balanced effect.

mask

This optional parameter allows you to provide a mask image that defines the areas to be preserved during the padding process. The mask should be the same size as the original image, with non-zero values indicating the regions to be kept. If no mask is provided, the entire image is considered for padding. The default value is None.

Image Pad For Outpaint Target Size Output Parameters:

padded_image

The output is the image that has been adjusted to match the target dimensions. This image may have been downscaled and/or padded to fit the specified width and height, ensuring that the original aspect ratio is maintained. The padded image is ready for further processing or outpainting.

mask_scaled

If a mask was provided as an input parameter, the output will include the scaled version of the mask. This mask will have been resized to match the dimensions of the padded image, ensuring that the regions to be preserved are correctly aligned. If no mask was provided, this output will be None.

Image Pad For Outpaint Target Size Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the target width and height are set to the desired dimensions for your outpainting project to avoid unnecessary resizing later.
• Use the feathering parameter to create smooth transitions between the original image and the padded areas, especially when the padding is significant.
• If you have specific regions of the image that should not be altered, provide a mask to preserve those areas during the padding process.
• Experiment with different upscale methods to find the one that best suits your image quality requirements.

Image Pad For Outpaint Target Size Common Errors and Solutions:

"Invalid target dimensions"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the target width or height is set to a non-positive value.
• Solution: Ensure that both the target width and height are positive integers.

"Unsupported upscale method"

• Explanation: This error occurs when an invalid upscale method is specified.
• Solution: Check the available upscale methods and select a valid one, such as bilinear, bicubic, or nearest-neighbor.

"Mask size mismatch"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the provided mask does not match the dimensions of the original image.
• Solution: Ensure that the mask image is the same size as the original image before providing it as an input parameter.
