ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI-MingNodes

ComfyUI-MingNodes Introduction

ComfyUI-MingNodes is an innovative extension designed to enhance your creative workflow by providing a suite of powerful tools for image editing and manipulation. This extension is particularly beneficial for AI artists who wish to explore advanced image processing techniques without delving into complex technical details. ComfyUI-MingNodes offers features such as color migration, custom light sources, watermark management, and more, allowing you to achieve professional-quality results with ease. Whether you're looking to adjust image tones, remove watermarks, or experiment with lighting effects, ComfyUI-MingNodes provides the functionality you need to bring your artistic vision to life.

How ComfyUI-MingNodes Works

At its core, ComfyUI-MingNodes operates by integrating various image processing algorithms into a user-friendly interface. Imagine it as a digital artist's toolbox, where each tool is designed to perform a specific task, such as adjusting colors or adding light effects. For instance, the color migration feature mimics the color tracking capabilities of pixel art, allowing you to transfer colors from one region of an image to another seamlessly. By using semantic segmentation, you can create masks that define specific areas for color changes, ensuring precision and control over your edits. The extension simplifies these complex processes, making them accessible to artists of all skill levels.

ComfyUI-MingNodes Features

Color Migration

This feature allows you to imitate the color tracking function of pixel art. You can adjust the intensity of color migration and protect skin tones to maintain the original image's integrity. Options to automatically adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation are available, with parameters set to a 50% adjustment range. A tone switch is also included to mimic the original image's tone.

Custom Light Sources

With IC-Light, you can define custom light sources by adjusting their shape, position, scale, brightness, and color. This feature enables you to create complex lighting effects by combining multiple light sources, adding depth and dimension to your images.

Watermark Management

The extension provides tools for adding both image and text watermarks. You can customize the position, size, transparency, font color, and style of text watermarks. Additionally, you can easily add new fonts by placing them in the extension's fonts directory.

AI Watermark Removal

Utilizing the open-source lama model, this feature allows you to remove watermarks by applying a mask over the watermark area. This tool is particularly useful for restoring images to their original state without leaving traces of the watermark.

HSL Color Adjustment

Adjust the hue, saturation, and lightness of your images within a range of -30 to 30. This feature provides fine control over the color balance, enabling you to achieve the desired mood and atmosphere in your artwork.

Color Balance

Modify the midtones, highlights, and shadows of your images with an adjustment range of -100 to 100. This feature helps you enhance the overall color harmony and contrast of your images.

Shadow and Highlight Adjustment

Fine-tune the shadows and highlights of your images with an adjustment range of -10 to 10. This tool allows you to bring out details in both dark and light areas, improving the dynamic range of your images.
