ComfyUI Extension: WAS_Extras

WAS_Extras Introduction

WAS_Extras is an extension designed to enhance your experience with ComfyUI by providing a collection of experimental and helper nodes. These nodes offer additional functionalities that can help streamline your workflow, improve image processing, and provide more control over your AI art projects. Whether you are looking to blend prompt conditioning, debug inputs, or fine-tune inpainting masks, WAS_Extras has tools that can assist you in achieving your creative goals.

How WAS_Extras Works

WAS_Extras works by integrating custom nodes into ComfyUI, a modular and powerful GUI for stable diffusion. These nodes are essentially small programs that perform specific tasks within your AI art workflow. By adding these nodes to ComfyUI, you can extend its capabilities and customize your workflow to better suit your needs. Think of these nodes as specialized tools in a toolbox, each designed to perform a unique function that contributes to the overall process of creating AI-generated art.

WAS_Extras Features

Conditioning (Blend)

This feature allows you to blend prompt conditioning using various interpolation and operation methods. It helps in creating more nuanced and refined outputs by combining different prompts in a controlled manner.

DebugThis

The DebugThis node is a handy tool for troubleshooting. It prints the object and displays a mapping of it if it's not a common type like str, int, or float. This can be particularly useful for understanding the data flow and identifying issues in your workflow.

Inpainting VAE Encode

This node is designed for inpainting tasks. It allows for mask offset erosion and dilation, enabling fine-tuning of the mask. The mask result is used as the pixel masking for cleaner boundaries, and you can erode (shrink) the mask for more precise control.

Vivid Sharpen

A Python implementation of the Photoshop Vivid Sharpen technique, this node helps in enhancing the sharpness and clarity of your images. It can be particularly useful for making your AI-generated art more visually striking.

KSampler Sequence

This feature allows you to sequence prompts in a looped Ksampler, providing more control over the sampling process. It includes:

• CLIP Text Encode Sequence (Advanced)
• Note: CLIPTextEncode will use BLK Advanced CLIP Text Encode if available.
• KSampler Sequence

BLVAEEncode

A VAE Encode node that can store the latent in the workflow for easy sharing. This can be useful for collaborative projects or for maintaining consistency across different stages of your workflow.

Troubleshooting WAS_Extras

Common Issues and Solutions

1. Node Not Appearing in ComfyUI

• Solution: Ensure that the node files are correctly placed in the ComfyUI/custom_nodes directory. Restart ComfyUI after placing the files.

2. Errors During Node Execution

• Solution: Check the console output for error messages. Use the DebugThis node to print and inspect the data being passed through the nodes.

3. Inpainting Mask Issues

• Solution: Adjust the mask offset erosion and dilation settings to fine-tune the mask. Refer to the example workflow for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: How do I install WAS_Extras?
• A: You can install WAS_Extras by cloning the repository to ComfyUI/custom_nodes, using the ComfyUI Manager, or downloading the individual custom node .py files and placing them in the ComfyUI/custom_nodes folder.
• Q: What is the purpose of the KSampler Sequence?
• A: The KSampler Sequence allows you to sequence prompts in a looped Ksampler, providing more control over the sampling process and enabling advanced text encoding.
