ComfyUI Node: 🔧 Mask Preview

🔧 Mask Preview+:

MaskPreview+ is a versatile node designed to help you visualize and save mask images generated during your AI art creation process. This node is particularly useful for previewing masks before applying them to your artwork, ensuring that you can make any necessary adjustments beforehand. By converting the mask into a preview image and saving it to a temporary directory, MaskPreview+ allows you to quickly and easily inspect the mask's details. This functionality is essential for fine-tuning your masks, leading to more precise and polished final results in your AI-generated art.

🔧 Mask Preview+ Input Parameters:

mask

The mask parameter is the primary input for the MaskPreview+ node. It accepts a mask image, which is a binary or grayscale image where the regions of interest are highlighted. This mask is then processed and converted into a preview image. The quality and accuracy of the mask directly impact the effectiveness of the preview, so ensure that your mask is well-defined and correctly represents the areas you want to focus on.

filename_prefix

The filename_prefix parameter allows you to specify a prefix for the saved preview image's filename. By default, this is set to "ComfyUI", but you can customize it to better organize your files. This prefix helps in identifying and categorizing the preview images, especially when working with multiple masks or projects.

prompt

The prompt parameter is an optional input that can be used to add descriptive text or metadata to the saved preview image. This can be useful for keeping track of the context or specific details related to the mask, although it is hidden by default and not required for basic functionality.

extra_pnginfo

The extra_pnginfo parameter is another optional input that allows you to embed additional metadata into the saved preview image. This can include any extra information you might want to store with the image, such as settings or parameters used during mask creation. Like the prompt parameter, it is hidden by default and not necessary for basic usage.

🔧 Mask Preview+ Output Parameters:

MASK

The output of the MaskPreview+ node is the processed mask image, which has been converted into a preview format. This output allows you to visualize the mask as a standard image, making it easier to inspect and verify its accuracy before applying it to your artwork. The preview image is saved to a temporary directory, ensuring that you can access and review it as needed.

🔧 Mask Preview+ Usage Tips:

• To ensure the best results, make sure your input mask is well-defined and accurately represents the regions of interest.
• Customize the filename_prefix to keep your saved preview images organized and easily identifiable.
• Use the prompt and extra_pnginfo parameters to add descriptive metadata to your preview images, which can be helpful for keeping track of different masks and their contexts.

🔧 Mask Preview+ Common Errors and Solutions:

"Mask input is not valid"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the input mask is not in the expected format or is missing.
• Solution: Ensure that you provide a valid mask image as input. The mask should be a binary or grayscale image that accurately represents the regions of interest.

"Failed to save preview image"

• Explanation: This error happens when the node is unable to save the preview image to the specified directory.
• Solution: Check the output directory permissions and ensure that there is enough space available. You can also try changing the filename_prefix to avoid conflicts with existing files.

"Invalid filename prefix"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the filename_prefix contains invalid characters or is too long.
• Solution: Use a simple and concise prefix that avoids special characters and is within a reasonable length. This will help ensure that the filename is valid and the image can be saved successfully.
