ComfyUI Node: LayerFilter: SoftLight

LayerFilter: SoftLight:

The LayerFilter: SoftLight node is designed to apply a soft light blending effect to images, enhancing their visual appeal by subtly adjusting the brightness and contrast. This node is particularly useful for AI artists looking to add a gentle, natural-looking light effect to their images, making them appear more vibrant and dynamic. The soft light effect works by blending the input image with a blurred version of itself, creating a smooth transition between light and dark areas. This method helps to highlight details and add depth to the image without making it look overly processed. The node offers several adjustable parameters, allowing you to fine-tune the effect to achieve the desired look.

LayerFilter: SoftLight Input Parameters:

image

This parameter accepts the input image that you want to apply the soft light effect to. The image should be in a compatible format that the node can process.

soft

This parameter controls the amount of blur applied to the image before blending. A higher value results in a softer, more diffused light effect, while a lower value produces a sharper effect. The value ranges from 0.2 to 10, with a default value of 1.

threshold

This parameter sets the threshold for highlighting areas in the image. It determines which parts of the image will be affected by the soft light effect based on their brightness. The value ranges from -255 to 255, with a default value of -10.

opacity

This parameter controls the opacity of the soft light effect. A higher value makes the effect more pronounced, while a lower value makes it more subtle. The value ranges from 0 to 100, with a default value of 100.

LayerFilter: SoftLight Output Parameters:

image

The output is the processed image with the soft light effect applied. This image will have enhanced brightness and contrast, with a smooth transition between light and dark areas, making it appear more vibrant and dynamic.

LayerFilter: SoftLight Usage Tips:

• Experiment with the soft parameter to find the right balance between sharpness and diffusion for your specific image.
• Use the threshold parameter to control which areas of the image are highlighted, allowing you to focus the effect on specific parts of the image.
• Adjust the opacity parameter to fine-tune the intensity of the soft light effect, ensuring it complements the overall look of your image without overpowering it.

LayerFilter: SoftLight Common Errors and Solutions:

Image format not supported

• Explanation: The input image is in a format that the node cannot process.
• Solution: Ensure that the input image is in a compatible format, such as JPEG or PNG.

Value out of range

• Explanation: One of the input parameters is set to a value outside its allowed range.
• Solution: Check the parameter values and ensure they are within the specified ranges: soft (0.2 to 10), threshold (-255 to 255), and opacity (0 to 100).

Processing error

• Explanation: An error occurred during the image processing.
• Solution: Verify that all input parameters are correctly set and that the input image is not corrupted. If the problem persists, try using a different image or adjusting the parameter values.
