ComfyUI Node: Mask Batch

Mask Batch:

The Mask Batch node is designed to streamline the process of handling multiple mask images by combining them into a single batch. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who work with a series of mask images and need to process them collectively. By batching masks, you can efficiently manage and manipulate multiple masks simultaneously, which can significantly enhance your workflow. The primary goal of this node is to simplify the handling of mask images, making it easier to apply consistent operations across all masks in the batch. This can be especially beneficial when working on complex projects that require uniform adjustments or transformations to multiple mask images.

Mask Batch Input Parameters:

masks

This parameter expects a list of mask images that you want to batch together. Each mask should be provided in a format that the node can process, typically as a tensor. The masks parameter is essential as it forms the core input for the batching process, allowing the node to combine these individual masks into a single batch for further processing.

batch_number

The batch_number parameter specifies the index of the mask within the batch that you want to retrieve or focus on. It is an integer value with a default of 0, a minimum of 0, and a maximum of 64. This parameter is useful when you need to access a specific mask from the batch for individual operations or inspections. By setting the batch_number, you can easily pinpoint and work with a particular mask without manually sifting through the entire batch.

Mask Batch Output Parameters:

MASK

The output of the Mask Batch node is a single batched tensor containing all the input masks. This batched tensor is structured to facilitate further operations on the entire set of masks as a unified entity. The MASK output is crucial for subsequent processing steps, as it allows you to apply transformations, analyses, or other operations to the entire batch of masks in a consistent and efficient manner.

Mask Batch Usage Tips:

• Ensure that all input masks are of the same dimensions to avoid errors during the batching process.
• Use the batch_number parameter to quickly access and manipulate specific masks within the batch without disrupting the entire set.
• Combine this node with other mask processing nodes to apply uniform transformations or analyses across all masks in the batch.

Mask Batch Common Errors and Solutions:

"At least one input mask must be provided."

• Explanation: This error occurs when no masks are provided as input to the node.
• Solution: Ensure that you provide at least one mask image in the masks parameter before executing the node.

"Batch number X is not defined, returning last image"

• Explanation: This error indicates that the specified batch_number exceeds the number of available masks in the batch.
• Solution: Verify that the batch_number is within the range of the available masks. If you need to access a specific mask, ensure that the batch_number corresponds to an existing index within the batch.
