ComfyUI Extension: SD-PPP

SD-PPP Introduction

The sd-ppp extension, short for Professional Photoshop transPorter, is designed to seamlessly integrate Photoshop with Stable Diffusion (SD) and ComfyUI. This extension allows you to easily transfer images between Photoshop and these AI tools, enhancing your workflow and enabling more creative possibilities. Whether you are working on image generation, inpainting, or other AI-driven art projects, sd-ppp simplifies the process of moving images back and forth, saving you time and effort.

How SD-PPP Works

At its core, sd-ppp acts as a bridge between Photoshop and AI tools like Stable Diffusion and ComfyUI. It allows you to send images from Photoshop to these tools for processing and then retrieve the processed images back into Photoshop. This is achieved through custom nodes that handle the image transfer, making it easy to incorporate AI-generated content into your Photoshop projects.

Imagine you are working on a digital painting in Photoshop and want to use AI to generate a background. With sd-ppp, you can send your current image to Stable Diffusion, generate the background, and then bring the result back into Photoshop, all without leaving your workspace.
