ComfyUI Node: After VAE Decode

After VAE Decode:

The SeargeCustomAfterVaeDecode node is designed to process the output of a VAE (Variational Autoencoder) decoding stage, providing a refined image result. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who want to ensure that their generated images are post-processed correctly, enhancing the final output quality. The node retrieves specific parameters from the VAE decoded data, such as the decoded image and any post-processed version of it, and then determines which version to output based on the availability of post-processed data. This ensures that the best possible image is produced, whether it has undergone additional processing or not.

After VAE Decode Input Parameters:

custom_output

The custom_output parameter is a required input that represents the output from a previous VAE decoding stage. This parameter is crucial as it contains the data needed for further processing, including the decoded image and any post-processed version of it. The node uses this input to determine which image to output, ensuring that the final result is either the raw decoded image or an enhanced version if available. This parameter does not have specific minimum, maximum, or default values, as it is dependent on the output of the preceding VAE decoding stage.

After VAE Decode Output Parameters:

image

The image output parameter represents the final image result after processing the VAE decoded data. This output can either be the raw decoded image or a post-processed version, depending on the availability of post-processed data. The importance of this parameter lies in its role as the final visual output that AI artists will use in their projects. The node ensures that the best possible image is provided, enhancing the overall quality of the generated artwork.

After VAE Decode Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the custom_output parameter is correctly connected to the output of a VAE decoding stage to guarantee that the node receives the necessary data for processing.
• Use this node when you want to automatically select the best version of the decoded image, whether it is the raw output or a post-processed version, to streamline your workflow and improve image quality.

After VAE Decode Common Errors and Solutions:

custom_output is None

• Explanation: This error occurs when the custom_output parameter is not provided or is set to None.
• Solution: Ensure that the custom_output parameter is correctly connected to the output of a previous VAE decoding stage.

Missing required parameter: custom_output

• Explanation: This error indicates that the custom_output parameter is missing, which is necessary for the node to function.
• Solution: Verify that the custom_output parameter is included in the node's input and is properly connected to the preceding VAE decoding stage output.
