ComfyUI Extension: LF Nodes

LF Nodes Introduction

Welcome to comfyui-lf, an extension designed to enhance your experience with ComfyUI by providing a suite of custom nodes. These nodes are tailored to streamline various tasks in your AI art workflow, from image analysis to configuration and conversion operations. Whether you're looking to analyze image histograms, manage checkpoints, or resize images for web use, comfyui-lf offers a range of tools to make your creative process more efficient and enjoyable.

How LF Nodes Works

At its core, comfyui-lf integrates seamlessly with ComfyUI, adding custom nodes that you can use within your existing workflows. Think of these nodes as specialized tools that perform specific tasks, much like different brushes or filters in a digital art program. Each node is designed to handle a particular function, such as analyzing image data, converting file formats, or managing configurations. By incorporating these nodes into your workflow, you can automate repetitive tasks, gain deeper insights into your data, and ultimately focus more on your creative process.

LF Nodes Features

Analysis Nodes

• ImageHistogram: Plots the RGB channels of an image on a line chart, helping you understand the color distribution. ImageHistogram
• KeywordCounter: Counts and displays the frequency of keywords in a prompt, useful for prompt optimization. KeywordCounter

Configuration Nodes

• CheckpointSelector: Allows you to select and manage checkpoints, fetching additional data from CivitAI if needed. CheckpointSelector
• CivitAIMetadataSetup: Generates CivitAI-compatible metadata for your images. CivitAIMetadataSetup
• ControlPanel: Includes options for enabling verbose debug logs and changing themes. ControlPanel

Conversion Nodes

• BlurImages: Applies a Gaussian blur to images, useful for creating soft-focus effects. BlurImages
• Lora2Prompt: Converts prompts and LoRAs to formatted strings, streamlining the prompt creation process. Lora2Prompt

IO Operations Nodes

• LoadFileOnce: Loads a file from a directory and skips files already loaded, ensuring no duplicates. LoadFileOnce
• SaveImageForCivitAI: Saves images with metadata compatible with CivitAI. SaveImageForCivitAI

JSON Nodes

• DisplayJSON: Displays JSON data with a copy button for easy data extraction. DisplayJSON
• GetRandomKeyFromJSON: Extracts a random key from a JSON object, adding variability to your workflows. GetRandomKeyFromJSON

Large Language Model Nodes

• CharacterImpersonator: Generates text responses as if from a character, useful for creative writing and role-playing. CharacterImpersonator
• LLMChat: Real-time chat with an LLM model, allowing for dynamic interactions. LLMChat

Logic Nodes
