ComfyUI Node: Batch Load Images (Mikey)

Batch Load Images (Mikey):

The Batch Load Images node is designed to streamline the process of loading multiple images from a specified directory into your AI art workflow. This node is particularly useful for artists who need to process a large number of images simultaneously, saving time and effort. By specifying the directory containing the images, the node will automatically load all supported image formats (such as PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, BMP, and GIF) and convert them into a format suitable for further processing within your AI art pipeline. This node is essential for batch processing tasks, enabling you to efficiently manage and manipulate large sets of images.

Batch Load Images (Mikey) Input Parameters:

image_directory

This parameter specifies the directory path where the images are stored. It is a string input that should point to the folder containing the images you wish to load. The node will scan this directory and load all supported image files. Ensure that the directory path is correct and accessible to avoid errors. This parameter does not have a default value and must be provided by the user.

subdirectories

This parameter determines whether the node should include images from subdirectories within the specified image directory. It accepts two options: true or false, with the default value being false. If set to true, the node will recursively search through all subdirectories and load images from them as well. This is useful if your images are organized in a nested folder structure.

Batch Load Images (Mikey) Output Parameters:

image

The output parameter image is a list of images loaded from the specified directory. Each image is converted into a tensor format suitable for further processing in your AI art workflow. This output allows you to seamlessly integrate the loaded images into subsequent nodes for tasks such as image manipulation, enhancement, or analysis. The list format ensures that multiple images can be handled efficiently in batch operations.

Batch Load Images (Mikey) Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the image_directory path is correct and accessible to avoid errors during the loading process.
• Use the subdirectories parameter set to true if your images are organized in nested folders to ensure all images are loaded.
• Combine this node with other image processing nodes to create a comprehensive batch processing pipeline, enhancing your workflow efficiency.

Batch Load Images (Mikey) Common Errors and Solutions:

Image directory <directory_path> does not exist

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified image_directory path does not exist or is incorrect.
• Solution: Verify that the directory path is correct and that the directory exists. Ensure there are no typos in the path and that the directory is accessible.

No supported image files found in the directory

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified directory does not contain any supported image files (PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, BMP, GIF).
• Solution: Ensure that the directory contains image files in the supported formats. Check the file extensions and confirm that the images are not corrupted.

Permission denied for accessing the directory

• Explanation: This error occurs when the node does not have the necessary permissions to access the specified directory.
• Solution: Check the directory permissions and ensure that the node has read access to the directory. Adjust the permissions if necessary or run the process with appropriate privileges.
