ComfyUI Node: Extract Image Tile

Extract Image Tile:

The ETN_ExtractImageTile node is designed to extract a specific tile from a larger image based on a predefined tile layout. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to work with smaller sections of an image for detailed editing, processing, or analysis. By breaking down a large image into manageable tiles, you can focus on specific areas without affecting the entire image. This node leverages a tile layout to determine the exact portion of the image to extract, making it an essential tool for tasks that require precision and localized modifications.

Extract Image Tile Input Parameters:

image

This parameter represents the input image from which a tile will be extracted. The image should be in a tensor format, which is a multi-dimensional array commonly used in machine learning and image processing. The quality and resolution of the input image can significantly impact the results, so ensure that the image is clear and appropriately sized for your needs.

layout

The layout parameter defines the tile layout to be used for extracting the image tile. This layout determines how the image is divided into smaller sections or tiles. It is crucial to have a well-defined tile layout to ensure that the correct portion of the image is extracted. The layout should be created using the ETN_TileLayout node or a similar method that provides a TILE_LAYOUT type.

index

The index parameter specifies the position of the tile to be extracted within the tile layout. It is an integer value with a minimum of 0, representing the first tile. The index allows you to select a specific tile from the grid of tiles defined by the layout. Ensure that the index is within the valid range of the tile layout to avoid errors.

Extract Image Tile Output Parameters:

IMAGE

The output parameter is the extracted image tile. This tile is a smaller section of the original image, defined by the specified layout and index. The extracted tile retains the same format as the input image, making it easy to integrate into further processing or editing workflows. The quality and resolution of the output tile depend on the input image and the tile layout configuration.

Extract Image Tile Usage Tips:

• Ensure that your input image is of high quality and appropriately sized to get the best results from the extracted tile.
• Use a well-defined tile layout to accurately divide your image into manageable sections.
• Verify that the index parameter is within the valid range of the tile layout to avoid errors and ensure the correct tile is extracted.

Extract Image Tile Common Errors and Solutions:

IndexError: Index out of range

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified index is outside the valid range of the tile layout.
• Solution: Ensure that the index parameter is within the range of 0 to the total number of tiles defined by the layout.

ValueError: Invalid image format

• Explanation: This error occurs when the input image is not in the expected tensor format.
• Solution: Ensure that the input image is correctly formatted as a tensor before passing it to the node.

TypeError: Invalid layout type

• Explanation: This error occurs when the layout parameter is not of the TILE_LAYOUT type.
• Solution: Use the ETN_TileLayout node or a similar method to create a valid tile layout before using it in the ETN_ExtractImageTile node.
