ComfyUI Node: LayerStyle: InnerGlow

LayerStyle: InnerGlow:

The LayerStyle: InnerGlow node is designed to add a glowing effect to the inner edges of an image or layer, enhancing its visual appeal by creating a soft, luminous border that radiates inward. This effect is commonly used in graphic design and digital art to highlight or emphasize certain elements, giving them a more polished and professional look. The InnerGlow effect can be customized to achieve various styles, from subtle illumination to more pronounced glows, making it a versatile tool for artists looking to add depth and dimension to their work.

LayerStyle: InnerGlow Input Parameters:

glow_color

The glow_color parameter determines the color of the inner glow effect. By selecting different colors, you can create various visual moods and highlights. This parameter significantly impacts the final appearance of the glow, allowing for creative flexibility. The color is typically defined using RGB values or a color picker tool.

glow_intensity

The glow_intensity parameter controls the brightness of the inner glow. Higher values result in a more intense and vivid glow, while lower values produce a softer, more subtle effect. This parameter allows you to fine-tune the glow to match the desired visual impact. The intensity is usually set on a scale from 0 to 100, with 0 being no glow and 100 being the maximum intensity.

glow_size

The glow_size parameter specifies the thickness of the inner glow. A larger size will make the glow extend further into the image, creating a more pronounced effect, while a smaller size will keep the glow closer to the edges. This parameter helps in adjusting the spread of the glow to achieve the desired look. The size is typically measured in pixels.

blend_mode

The blend_mode parameter defines how the inner glow blends with the underlying image. Different blend modes can create various effects, such as soft light, overlay, or multiply, each affecting the interaction between the glow and the image differently. This parameter provides additional creative control over the final appearance of the glow.

opacity

The opacity parameter controls the transparency of the inner glow. A lower opacity makes the glow more transparent, allowing more of the underlying image to show through, while a higher opacity makes the glow more opaque and dominant. This parameter is essential for balancing the glow's visibility with the rest of the image. Opacity is usually set on a scale from 0 to 100%.

LayerStyle: InnerGlow Output Parameters:

output_image

The output_image parameter is the final image with the applied inner glow effect. This output is crucial as it represents the combined result of the original image and the customized inner glow settings. The output image can be used directly in your artwork or further processed as needed.

LayerStyle: InnerGlow Usage Tips:

• Experiment with different glow_color settings to match the mood and theme of your artwork.
• Adjust the glow_intensity and glow_size parameters to find the perfect balance between subtlety and prominence.
• Use the blend_mode parameter to explore various blending effects and achieve unique visual styles.
• Fine-tune the opacity to ensure the glow complements rather than overwhelms the underlying image.

LayerStyle: InnerGlow Common Errors and Solutions:

"Invalid color value"

• Explanation: The glow_color parameter received an invalid color value.
• Solution: Ensure that the color is specified correctly using RGB values or a valid color picker tool.

"Intensity out of range"

• Explanation: The glow_intensity parameter is set outside the acceptable range (0-100).
• Solution: Adjust the intensity value to be within the 0-100 range.

"Size must be a positive number"

• Explanation: The glow_size parameter is set to a non-positive value.
• Solution: Ensure that the size is a positive number, typically measured in pixels.

"Unsupported blend mode"

• Explanation: The blend_mode parameter is set to an unsupported mode.
• Solution: Choose a valid blend mode from the available options.

"Opacity out of range"

• Explanation: The opacity parameter is set outside the acceptable range (0-100%).
• Solution: Adjust the opacity value to be within the 0-100% range.
