ComfyUI Node: Text Image Filter with Extras

Text Image Filter with Extras:

The Text Image Filter with Extras node is a versatile tool designed to enhance your image processing workflow by allowing you to filter images based on textual input and additional parameters. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to manage and manipulate images dynamically within a workflow. It provides the capability to pause the flow and make decisions on which images to pass forward, based on the text and extra information provided. This node is an improved version of the cg-image-picker, offering more flexibility and control over the image selection process. By incorporating additional text fields and optional parameters, it allows for a more customized and detailed filtering process, making it an essential component for complex image processing tasks.

Text Image Filter with Extras Input Parameters:

image

This parameter accepts an image input that you want to filter. It serves as the primary visual data that the node will process. The image is the central element around which the filtering operations are performed.

text

The text parameter allows you to input a string that can be used to influence the filtering process. This text can serve as a label or description that helps in deciding which images to pass on in the workflow. The default value is an empty string.

timeout

This integer parameter specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the node will wait for a response before executing a timeout action. The default value is 60 seconds, providing a balance between responsiveness and allowing enough time for processing.

mask

An optional parameter that, if provided, will overlay a mask on the image. This can be used to highlight or focus on specific areas of the image during the filtering process. It is not required for the node to function but can enhance the filtering capabilities.

tip

This optional string parameter allows you to provide additional information or guidance that will be displayed in a popup window. It can be used to offer context or instructions related to the image filtering process. The default value is an empty string.

extra1

An optional string parameter that can be used to pass additional information or criteria for filtering. It allows for more detailed customization of the filtering process. The default value is an empty string.

extra2

Similar to extra1, this optional string parameter provides another layer of customization for the filtering process. It can be used to input additional criteria or information. The default value is an empty string.

extra3

This is the third optional string parameter for additional filtering criteria or information. It complements extra1 and extra2, allowing for a comprehensive and detailed filtering setup. The default value is an empty string.

textareaheight

An optional integer parameter that sets the height of the text area in pixels. It allows you to customize the display size of the text input area, with a default value of 150 pixels and a range from 50 to 500 pixels.

Text Image Filter with Extras Output Parameters:

image

The output image is the filtered result based on the input parameters and the filtering process. It represents the visual data that has been selected to pass on in the workflow.

text

This output returns the text associated with the filtered image, providing context or description that was used during the filtering process.

extra1

The extra1 output returns the first additional string parameter that was used in the filtering process, offering insight into the criteria or information that influenced the image selection.

extra2

Similar to extra1, this output returns the second additional string parameter, providing further context or criteria used in the filtering process.

extra3

The extra3 output returns the third additional string parameter, completing the set of extra information that was considered during the image filtering.

Text Image Filter with Extras Usage Tips:

• Utilize the text parameter to label or describe images, making it easier to filter and select the desired images in complex workflows.
• Use the extra1, extra2, and extra3 parameters to add layers of filtering criteria, allowing for more precise image selection based on multiple factors.
• Adjust the textareaheight to ensure that the text input area is comfortable to use, especially when dealing with longer text inputs.

Text Image Filter with Extras Common Errors and Solutions:

Timeout Error

• Explanation: This error occurs when the node exceeds the specified timeout period without receiving a response.
• Solution: Increase the timeout parameter to allow more time for processing, or optimize the workflow to reduce processing time.

No Images Selected

• Explanation: This error happens when no images meet the filtering criteria and are selected to pass on.
• Solution: Review the filtering criteria in the text and extra parameters to ensure they are correctly set to match the desired images.

Mask File Not Found

• Explanation: This error occurs if a specified mask file cannot be located or loaded.
• Solution: Verify that the mask file path is correct and that the file is accessible. Ensure the mask parameter is correctly set if used.
