V4 is a cleaner and more simplified version of the workflow, with fewer unnecessary nodes and a more focused structure. Some heavier extra processing steps were removed, making the setup easier to follow while keeping the core generation, ControlNet, detailing, and final post-processing intact.

This workflow also requires the ComfyUI Image Metadata Extension custom node. I forked it and made several fixes and compatibility improvements, especially for Civitai. It works as a drop-in replacement for the standard Save Image node and embeds clean A1111/Forge-compatible metadata directly into the PNG.

Custom node:

Install
Open your ComfyUI custom_nodes folder and run:

git clone https://github.com/cyberdeliaAI/revived_comfyui_image_metadata_extension.git

Restart ComfyUI afterwards.

By popular demand, here’s the ComfyUI workflow I use when I’m (rarely) not on Forge. This setup covers upscaling, a face detailer, and a hand detailer. I’ve also included all the metadata you’ll need to upload straight to Civitai.

If you see anything that could be better, let me know! I’m always up for suggestions.
