ComfyUI Node: Image Resize by Factor

Image Resize by Factor:

The JWImageResizeByFactor node is designed to resize an image by a specified scaling factor, allowing you to easily enlarge or shrink your images while maintaining their aspect ratio. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to adjust the size of their images for various applications, such as preparing images for further processing or fitting them into specific dimensions. By leveraging different interpolation modes, this node ensures that the resized images retain high quality and visual fidelity. The main goal of this node is to provide a flexible and efficient way to resize images without the need for manual calculations or complex operations.

Image Resize by Factor Input Parameters:

image

The image parameter expects an image tensor that you want to resize. This tensor represents the image data in a format that the node can process. The image should be provided in the form of a PyTorch tensor, which is a common format for handling image data in machine learning and AI applications.

factor

The factor parameter is a floating-point value that determines the scaling factor by which the image will be resized. A factor greater than 1 will enlarge the image, while a factor less than 1 will shrink it. The default value is 1, meaning no resizing will occur. The minimum value is 0, and the maximum value is 99999, allowing for a wide range of resizing options. This parameter is crucial for controlling the final size of the image.

interpolation_mode

The interpolation_mode parameter specifies the method used to interpolate pixel values when resizing the image. The available options are "bicubic", "bilinear", "nearest", and "nearest exact". Each mode offers a different balance between quality and computational efficiency. For example, "bicubic" provides smoother results but is more computationally intensive, while "nearest" is faster but may produce blockier images. Choosing the right interpolation mode can significantly impact the visual quality of the resized image.

Image Resize by Factor Output Parameters:

IMAGE

The output parameter is an image tensor that represents the resized image. This tensor retains the same data format as the input image but with new dimensions based on the specified scaling factor. The resized image can then be used for further processing or saved for later use. The output ensures that the image maintains its aspect ratio and quality as much as possible, given the chosen interpolation mode.

Image Resize by Factor Usage Tips:

• To maintain the best visual quality when enlarging images, consider using the "bicubic" interpolation mode, as it provides smoother transitions between pixels.
• When resizing images for quick previews or less critical applications, the "nearest" interpolation mode can be a faster alternative, though it may result in lower quality.
• Experiment with different scaling factors to find the optimal size for your specific use case, keeping in mind that very large scaling factors may introduce artifacts or reduce image quality.

Image Resize by Factor Common Errors and Solutions:

AssertionError: Expected image to be a torch.Tensor

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

AssertionError: Expected factor to be a float

• Explanation: This error occurs when the scaling factor is not provided as a floating-point number.
• Solution: Verify that the factor input is a float and within the acceptable range (0 to 99999).

AssertionError: Expected interpolation_mode to be a string

• Explanation: This error occurs when the interpolation mode is not provided as a string.
• Solution: Make sure that the interpolation_mode input is one of the specified string options: "bicubic", "bilinear", "nearest", or "nearest exact".

ValueError: Invalid interpolation mode

• Explanation: This error occurs when an unsupported interpolation mode is provided.
• Solution: Double-check the spelling and format of the interpolation mode to ensure it matches one of the available options.
