ComfyUI Node: Scheduled Image Composite

Scheduled Image Composite:

SaltImageComposite is a powerful node designed to facilitate the combination of multiple images into a single composite image. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who want to create complex visual compositions by layering different images with various blending modes and masks. The primary goal of SaltImageComposite is to provide a flexible and intuitive way to merge images, allowing for creative control over the final output. By using this node, you can achieve seamless integration of different visual elements, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your artwork.

Scheduled Image Composite Input Parameters:

base_image

The base image parameter serves as the foundational layer upon which other images will be composited. This image acts as the canvas for your composite, and all subsequent images will be layered on top of it. The quality and resolution of the base image can significantly impact the final output, so it is advisable to use a high-quality image as the base.

overlay_image

The overlay image parameter is the image that will be layered on top of the base image. This parameter allows you to add additional visual elements to your composite. The overlay image can be adjusted in terms of opacity and blending mode to achieve the desired effect. Using different overlay images can create various artistic effects and enhance the complexity of your composition.

mask_image

The mask image parameter is used to define the areas of the overlay image that will be visible in the final composite. This parameter allows for precise control over which parts of the overlay image are blended with the base image. By using a mask image, you can create intricate and detailed composites, highlighting specific areas of the overlay image while keeping other parts transparent.

blend_mode

The blend mode parameter determines how the overlay image is blended with the base image. Different blend modes can produce various visual effects, such as darkening, lightening, or color blending. This parameter provides creative flexibility, allowing you to experiment with different blending techniques to achieve the desired artistic outcome.

opacity

The opacity parameter controls the transparency level of the overlay image. A lower opacity value makes the overlay image more transparent, allowing more of the base image to show through, while a higher opacity value makes the overlay image more opaque. Adjusting the opacity can help you fine-tune the balance between the base and overlay images, creating a harmonious composite.

Scheduled Image Composite Output Parameters:

composite_image

The composite image parameter is the final output of the SaltImageComposite node. This image is the result of blending the base image, overlay image, and mask image according to the specified blend mode and opacity settings. The composite image represents the culmination of your creative efforts, combining multiple visual elements into a single, cohesive artwork.

Scheduled Image Composite Usage Tips:

• Experiment with different blend modes to discover unique visual effects that enhance your composite image.
• Use high-quality base and overlay images to ensure the final composite image is sharp and detailed.
• Adjust the opacity parameter to achieve the perfect balance between the base and overlay images.
• Utilize mask images to create intricate and selective blending, highlighting specific areas of the overlay image.

Scheduled Image Composite Common Errors and Solutions:

"Invalid image format"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the input images are not in a supported format.
• Solution: Ensure that all input images are in a compatible format, such as JPEG or PNG.

"Image dimensions do not match"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the base and overlay images have different dimensions.
• Solution: Resize the overlay image to match the dimensions of the base image before compositing.

"Mask image not found"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified mask image is missing or cannot be loaded.
• Solution: Verify that the mask image file path is correct and that the file exists.

"Unsupported blend mode"

• Explanation: This error occurs when an invalid blend mode is specified.
• Solution: Refer to the documentation for a list of supported blend modes and use one of the valid options.
