ComfyUI Node: Load Reference Image Path

Load Reference Image Path:

The Load_Image_Path node is designed to streamline the process of loading image files from a specified directory into your AI art workflow. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to reference or manipulate images stored on their local system. By providing a simple interface to select and load images, it eliminates the need for manual file handling and ensures that the images are readily available for further processing. The primary goal of this node is to enhance efficiency and ease of use, allowing you to focus more on the creative aspects of your work rather than the technical details of file management.

Load Reference Image Path Input Parameters:

image

The image parameter allows you to select an image file from a predefined directory. This parameter presents a list of available image files in the directory, sorted alphabetically, making it easy to find and select the desired image. The image_upload option is enabled, allowing you to upload new images to the directory if needed. This parameter is crucial as it determines which image file will be loaded and used in subsequent operations. There are no specific minimum or maximum values for this parameter, but it is essential to ensure that the selected file is a valid image format supported by the node.

Load Reference Image Path Output Parameters:

IMAGE_PATH

The IMAGE_PATH output parameter provides the full path to the selected image file. This output is essential as it serves as a reference for other nodes or processes that require the image file. By providing the exact file path, it ensures that the image can be easily accessed and utilized in your AI art workflow.

Load Reference Image Path Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the directory specified for image selection contains only the images you intend to use, as this will make it easier to find and select the desired file.
• Take advantage of the image_upload feature to add new images directly from the node interface, streamlining your workflow and reducing the need to manually place files in the directory.

Load Reference Image Path Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid image file: <filename>

• Explanation: This error occurs when the selected image file does not exist in the specified directory or is not a valid image format.
• Solution: Verify that the image file exists in the directory and is in a supported format. If necessary, re-upload the image using the image_upload feature.

No image files found in the directory
