ComfyUI Node: pipeKSamplerAdvanced

pipeKSamplerAdvanced:

The ttN pipeKSamplerAdvanced_v2 node is designed to provide advanced sampling capabilities for AI-generated images, offering a high degree of customization and control over the sampling process. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who want to fine-tune their image generation workflows by adjusting various parameters such as noise addition, sampling steps, and configuration settings. The node integrates seamlessly with other components in the pipeline, allowing for the application of LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) models, noise management, and upscaling methods. Its primary goal is to enhance the quality and precision of the generated images while providing flexibility in the sampling process.

pipeKSamplerAdvanced Input Parameters:

pipe

This parameter represents the pipeline configuration that the node will use for sampling. It includes all the necessary settings and models required for the image generation process.

lora_name

Specifies the name of the LoRA model to be applied. This model can enhance the image generation by providing additional learned features. If not needed, it can be set to None.

lora_strength

Determines the strength of the LoRA model's influence on the image generation. Higher values result in a more pronounced effect of the LoRA model.

add_noise

Controls whether noise should be added to the sampling process. Options are enable or disable. Adding noise can help in generating more diverse images.

steps

Defines the number of sampling steps to be performed. More steps generally lead to higher quality images but increase computation time.

cfg

The configuration setting for the sampling process, which can include various parameters like learning rate, batch size, etc.

sampler_name

Specifies the name of the sampler to be used. Different samplers can produce different styles and qualities of images.

scheduler

Determines the scheduling method for the sampling steps. This can affect the convergence and quality of the generated images.

image_output

Controls how the generated images are outputted. Options include Show, Hide, and Hide/Save.

save_prefix

A prefix to be added to the filenames of the saved images, useful for organizing and identifying generated images.

file_type

Specifies the file type for the saved images, such as png or jpg.

embed_workflow

Indicates whether the workflow settings should be embedded in the output images. This can be useful for reproducibility.

noise

The initial noise to be used in the sampling process. This can be a specific noise pattern or randomly generated.

noise_seed

An optional seed for the noise generation, allowing for reproducibility of the noise pattern.

optional_model

An optional model to be used in the sampling process, providing additional flexibility.

optional_positive

Optional positive embeddings to guide the image generation towards desired features.

optional_negative

Optional negative embeddings to steer the image generation away from undesired features.

optional_latent

An optional latent space representation to be used in the sampling process.

optional_vae

An optional Variational Autoencoder (VAE) model to be used for decoding the latent space.

optional_clip

An optional CLIP model to be used for text-to-image generation.

input_image_override

An optional image to override the initial input image, providing a starting point for the generation.

adv_xyPlot

Advanced settings for XY plotting, useful for visualizing the sampling process.

upscale_method

Specifies the method to be used for upscaling the generated images, such as nearest or bilinear.

upscale_model_name

The name of the model to be used for upscaling, providing additional control over the upscaling process.

factor

The upscaling factor, determining how much the image should be enlarged.

rescale

Indicates whether the image should be rescaled after upscaling.

percent

The percentage by which the image should be rescaled.

width

The desired width of the output image.

height

The desired height of the output image.

longer_side

Specifies which side of the image should be considered the longer side for scaling purposes.

crop

Indicates whether the image should be cropped to fit the desired dimensions.

prompt

A text prompt to guide the image generation process, useful for text-to-image models.

extra_pnginfo

Additional information to be embedded in the PNG metadata.

my_unique_id

A unique identifier for the sampling process, useful for tracking and managing multiple sampling tasks.

start_at_step

Specifies the step at which the sampling process should start, allowing for partial sampling.

end_at_step

Specifies the step at which the sampling process should end, allowing for early termination.

return_with_leftover_noise

Indicates whether the leftover noise should be returned with the output, providing additional information about the sampling process.

pipeKSamplerAdvanced Output Parameters:

images

The generated images resulting from the sampling process. These images are influenced by all the input parameters and settings.

latent

The latent space representation of the generated images, useful for further processing or analysis.

noise

The noise pattern used in the sampling process, which can be useful for reproducibility or further experimentation.

metadata

Additional metadata about the sampling process, including configuration settings and model details.

pipeKSamplerAdvanced Usage Tips:

• Experiment with different lora_strength values to see how the LoRA model affects the generated images.
• Use the add_noise parameter to introduce variability in the images, which can lead to more creative results.
• Adjust the steps parameter to balance between image quality and computation time.
• Utilize the upscale_method and upscale_model_name to enhance the resolution of your images without losing quality.
