ComfyUI Node: Scale To Megapixels

Scale To Megapixels:

The ImageScaleToMegapixels node is designed to upscale an image to a specified number of megapixels, ensuring that the total pixel count of the output image matches the desired value. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to increase the resolution of their images while maintaining a specific level of detail and quality. By leveraging various upscale methods, the node provides flexibility in how the image is resized, allowing you to choose the method that best suits your artistic needs. The primary goal of this node is to facilitate the creation of high-resolution images without the need for manual calculations or adjustments, making it an essential tool for enhancing image quality in a streamlined and efficient manner.

Scale To Megapixels Input Parameters:

image

This parameter represents the input image that you want to upscale. The image should be provided in a format that the node can process, typically as a tensor or similar data structure.

upscale_method

This parameter allows you to select the method used for upscaling the image. The available options are "nearest-exact", "bilinear", "area", "bicubic", and "lanczos". Each method has its own characteristics and can affect the quality and appearance of the upscaled image. For example, "nearest-exact" is a simple and fast method, while "lanczos" provides higher quality at the cost of increased computational complexity.

megapixels

This parameter specifies the target total number of megapixels for the upscaled image. It is a floating-point value with a default of 1.0, a minimum of 0.01, and a maximum of 16.0. Adjusting this value will directly influence the resolution of the output image, with higher values resulting in larger images.

Scale To Megapixels Output Parameters:

IMAGE

The output parameter is the upscaled image, which has been resized to match the specified number of megapixels. The output image retains the original content but with increased resolution, making it suitable for high-quality prints or detailed digital artwork.

Scale To Megapixels Usage Tips:

• To achieve the best quality, experiment with different upscale methods to see which one works best for your specific image and artistic style.
• When working with very small or very large images, start with a moderate megapixel value and gradually increase it to avoid excessive computational load and potential quality loss.
• Use this node in combination with other image processing nodes, such as sharpening or blurring, to enhance the final output further.

Scale To Megapixels Common Errors and Solutions:

Image tensor dimensions mismatch

• Explanation: This error occurs when the input image tensor does not have the expected dimensions.
• Solution: Ensure that the input image is correctly formatted and has the appropriate dimensions before passing it to the node.

Invalid upscale method

• Explanation: This error occurs when an unsupported upscale method is selected.
• Solution: Verify that the upscale method parameter is set to one of the supported values: "nearest-exact", "bilinear", "area", "bicubic", or "lanczos".

Megapixels value out of range

• Explanation: This error occurs when the megapixels parameter is set to a value outside the allowed range.
• Solution: Adjust the megapixels parameter to a value within the range of 0.01 to 16.0.
