ComfyUI Node: pipeKSamplerSDXL v1 (Legacy)

pipeKSamplerSDXL v1 (Legacy):

The ttN pipeKSamplerSDXL node is designed to facilitate advanced image sampling and processing within the ComfyUI framework. This node leverages the KSampler algorithm to generate high-quality images based on various input parameters, including model configurations, noise settings, and sampling steps. It is particularly useful for AI artists looking to create detailed and refined images by controlling the sampling process meticulously. The node supports features like LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) for model fine-tuning, noise addition or suppression, and image upscaling, making it a versatile tool for generating and refining AI-generated artwork.

pipeKSamplerSDXL v1 (Legacy) Input Parameters:

pipe

This parameter represents the initial pipeline configuration, including the model, embeddings, VAE, and other components required for the sampling process. It is essential for setting up the initial state of the sampling pipeline.

lora_name

Specifies the name of the LoRA model to be used. LoRA models help in fine-tuning the main model by providing additional layers of adaptation. This parameter is optional and can be set to None if not used.

lora_strength

Determines the strength of the LoRA model's influence on the main model. Higher values result in more significant changes, while lower values make subtle adjustments. Typical values range from 0.0 to 1.0.

add_noise

Controls whether noise should be added to the sampling process. Options include enable and disable. Adding noise can help in generating more diverse outputs.

steps

Defines the number of sampling steps to be performed. More steps generally lead to higher quality images but increase computation time. Typical values range from 10 to 1000.

cfg

The classifier-free guidance scale, which influences the trade-off between image fidelity and diversity. Higher values prioritize fidelity, while lower values enhance diversity. Typical values range from 1.0 to 20.0.

sampler_name

Specifies the name of the sampler algorithm to be used. Different samplers can produce varying results, so experimenting with this parameter can yield different artistic styles.

scheduler

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

image_output

Controls the visibility and saving of the output images. Options include Show, Hide, and Hide/Save. This parameter helps manage the output display and storage.

save_prefix

A prefix to be added to the filenames of saved images. This helps in organizing and identifying the generated images.

file_type

Specifies the file format for saving the images, such as png or jpg. This parameter ensures compatibility with different use cases and platforms.

embed_workflow

Determines whether the workflow metadata should be embedded in the output images. This can be useful for tracking and reproducing the sampling process.

noise

Defines the noise level to be added to the sampling process. This parameter can be used to control the randomness and variability of the generated images.

noise_seed

An optional seed value for the noise generator. Using a fixed seed can help in reproducing the same results across different runs.

optional_model

An optional parameter to specify an alternative model for the sampling process. This allows for flexibility in choosing different models for different tasks.

optional_positive

Optional positive embeddings to guide the sampling process. These embeddings can help in steering the generated images towards desired characteristics.

optional_negative

Optional negative embeddings to guide the sampling process. These embeddings can help in steering the generated images away from undesired characteristics.

optional_latent

An optional latent space representation to be used as the starting point for the sampling process. This can help in refining and continuing previous work.

optional_vae

An optional VAE (Variational Autoencoder) model to be used in the sampling process. VAEs can help in generating more coherent and high-quality images.

optional_clip

An optional CLIP model to be used for text-to-image generation. This parameter allows for integrating text prompts into the sampling process.

input_image_override

An optional parameter to override the input image used in the sampling process. This can be useful for refining or modifying existing images.

adv_xyPlot

An optional parameter for advanced XY plotting, which can help in visualizing and analyzing the sampling process.

upscale_method

Specifies the method to be used for upscaling the generated images. Options include various algorithms like nearest, bilinear, and bicubic.

upscale_model_name

The name of the model to be used for upscaling. This allows for integrating specialized upscaling models to enhance image quality.

factor

The upscaling factor, which determines how much the image should be enlarged. Typical values range from 1.0 to 4.0.

rescale

A parameter to control the rescaling of the image. This can help in adjusting the image dimensions to fit specific requirements.

percent

Specifies the percentage by which the image should be scaled. This parameter provides fine-grained control over the image size.

width

The desired width of the output image. This parameter helps in setting the exact dimensions of the generated images.

height

The desired height of the output image. This parameter helps in setting the exact dimensions of the generated images.

longer_side

Specifies the length of the longer side of the output image. This parameter helps in maintaining the aspect ratio while resizing.

crop

Controls whether the image should be cropped to fit the desired dimensions. This can help in focusing on specific parts of the image.

prompt

A text prompt to guide the image generation process. This parameter allows for integrating textual descriptions into the sampling process.

extra_pnginfo

Additional metadata to be embedded in the output PNG images. This can be useful for tracking and reproducing the sampling process.

my_unique_id

A unique identifier for the sampling process. This helps in managing and tracking different sampling runs.

start_at_step

Specifies the step at which the sampling process should start. This can be useful for resuming interrupted processes.

end_at_step

Specifies the step at which the sampling process should end. This can help in controlling the duration and quality of the sampling process.

return_with_leftover_noise

Controls whether the output should include leftover noise. Options include enable and disable. This parameter can help in generating more diverse outputs.
