ComfyUI Extension: 😸 YFG Comical Nodes

😸 YFG Comical Nodes Introduction

ComfyUI_YFG_Comical is an extension for ComfyUI that provides a collection of custom utility nodes designed to enhance the functionality and user experience of the core application. These nodes offer additional features and improved quality of life enhancements that are not available in the standard ComfyUI nodes. Whether you are looking to generate histograms, create halftone images, or manage image uploads, ComfyUI_YFG_Comical has a variety of tools to help streamline your workflow and improve your creative output.

How 😸 YFG Comical Nodes Works

ComfyUI_YFG_Comical works by adding custom nodes to the ComfyUI environment. These nodes can be used in your workflows just like the standard nodes, but they come with additional features and enhancements. For example, some nodes allow for more detailed image processing, while others provide easier ways to manage and share your images. By integrating these nodes into your workflow, you can achieve more complex and refined results with less effort.

😸 YFG Comical Nodes Features

Image Histograms Generator

This node takes an input image and calculates its histogram for the color channels and the L channel, displaying a graphical representation of the data. This can be useful for analyzing the color distribution and contrast of your images.

Image Histograms Generator (compact)

A more streamlined version of the Image Histograms Generator, this node reduces the number of outputs to just two: Original and Histogram. You can choose to display either the original image or the histogram, making it easier to preview and manage your data.

Image Halftone Generator

Based on code by Phil Gyford and aimingfail, this node generates a halftone image from the input image. You can choose to display either the original image or the halftone image, or turn off the display entirely. This is useful for creating stylized, print-like effects.

Image Side by Side

This node allows you to generate a side-by-side or split image from two input images. You can customize the header labels, font, size, and color, and choose whether to display the result within the node or send it to downstream nodes.

Image to imgBB

These nodes enable uploading and downloading images to/from the imgBB image sharing service. This is perfect for sharing workflows and making original images available to others. You will need an imgBB account and API key to use these nodes.

Smart Checkpoint Loader

A replacement for the core Load Checkpoint node, this node flattens your directory structure, making all checkpoints appear as if they are in one folder. This is ideal for sharing workflows with different directory structures.

Mono Clip

Generates a black and white or greyscale clipped image with three options and a reverse mode for each. This is suitable for masking and special effects.

VAE Decode with Preview

Generates a black and white or greyscale clipped image, similar to the Mono Clip node, but with additional preview functionality.

Image to Contrast Mask

Generates a greyscale contrast mask with a selectable threshold and optional blur. This is useful for creating high-contrast images for various effects.

PixelArt

Generates a Pixel Art style image with options for interpolation mode and number of pixels. This is great for creating retro-style graphics.

Text Mask Overlay

Enhances the original idea by Yuigahama Yui by adding font selection and mask-to-image handling within the node. This allows for more flexibility in creating text overlays on images.

Image Switchers

Multi-input image switchers with versions for 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 inputs. These nodes offer additional functionality such as matrix display and image preview, making it easier to manage multiple image inputs.
