ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI_Ib_CustomNodes

ComfyUI_Ib_CustomNodes Introduction

ComfyUI_Ib_CustomNodes is an extension designed to enhance the functionality of ComfyUI by providing custom nodes that streamline the process of loading and manipulating images. This extension is particularly useful for AI artists who frequently work with image editing software like Photoshop. It addresses common issues such as file duplication and the inability to reload images when the source file changes. By using ComfyUI_Ib_CustomNodes, you can seamlessly integrate your image editing workflow with ComfyUI, allowing for more efficient and flexible image processing.

How ComfyUI_Ib_CustomNodes Works

At its core, ComfyUI_Ib_CustomNodes operates by allowing you to load images directly from a specified file path, rather than relying on uploaded images. This means that any changes made to the source image file are automatically reflected in ComfyUI without the need for re-uploading. This is particularly beneficial when using Photoshop's Quick Export feature, as it enables rapid img2img or inpainting operations on edited images. The extension supports various path formats, including absolute paths and paths relative to input, output, or temporary directories, making it adaptable to different workflow setups.

ComfyUI_Ib_CustomNodes Features

Load Image From Path

This feature allows you to load images directly from a specified file path. It eliminates the need for uploading images to ComfyUI, thus preventing file duplication and ensuring that any changes to the source image are immediately available for processing. You can specify the image path in several formats, such as absolute paths or paths relative to specific directories like input, output, or temp.

PIL.Image Conversion Nodes

ComfyUI_Ib_CustomNodes includes several nodes for converting between PIL images and ComfyUI's image format. These nodes are:

• PILToImage: Converts a PIL image to a ComfyUI image.
• PILToMask: Converts a PIL image to a mask.
• ImageToPIL: Converts a ComfyUI image to a PIL image. These conversion nodes are essential for integrating external image processing libraries with ComfyUI, allowing for more complex image manipulations.

Troubleshooting ComfyUI_Ib_CustomNodes

If you encounter issues while using ComfyUI_Ib_CustomNodes, here are some common problems and their solutions:

• Image Not Loading: Ensure that the file path is correct and that the image file exists at the specified location. Check if the path format is supported by the extension.
• Changes Not Reflected: If changes to the source image are not appearing in ComfyUI, verify that the image is being loaded from the correct path and that the file is not being cached by another process.
• Conversion Errors: If you experience errors during image conversion, ensure that the input image format is compatible with the conversion node being used.
