This workflow (as of v1.6) works as follows:
Initial Image Generation
Watermark Removal (this requires a watermark detection model that will need to be placed in your ComfyUI/models/ultralytics/bbox folder) - I use this one: https://civitai.com/models/311869/nsfw-watermark-detection-adetailer-nsfwwatermarkssyolov8
Upscale 2.5x
FaceDetailer
Color Correction
Save Image (You will need to specify your output path on the Image Saver node in the "path" field).
"Load Lora" node is not needed. To use a lora, please use the "Select to add Lora" option on the "Positive Prompt" node.
Note: if your prompts seem like they being completely ignored, please make sure to check if the "Mode" on the prompt nodes are set to Populate and not Fixed.
This has been tested on Illustrious and Pony models as mentioned in my "Suggested Resources". YMMV. Try playing with the settings/prompts to find your happy place. Current settings are to my tastes (for Illustrious) and may be aggressive for some models, leading to cooking the image.
I strongly recommend using ComfyUI manager to install any missing custom nodes.
Faster workflow. Takes roughly 3.5 minutes on a 3060.
Removed Lying Sigma Sampler node for the more advanced Detail Daemon Sampler node.
Also removed the second KSampler. So now it's just the one Ultimate SD Upscale node for the upscale portion of the workflow.
Added the option to use FaceDetailer (AV).
I didn't notice a difference between this one and the one from the Impact Pack. If you prefer the Impact Pact one, you can just sub it in.
To use FaceDetailer, you will need some sort of face detection model. I use this one.
rgthree-comfy has a nice feature that can set a group to be bypassed in a workflow.
I have the FaceDetailer in its own group.
If you feel like you don't need to use it all the time, you can just toggle the icon that looks like a connector and it will bypass the FaceDetailer. This cuts off around 30 to 40 seconds from the workflow for me.
Took what I liked about v1.4 and v1.3.
Dropped ApplyRAUnet and PerturbedAttentionGuidance from the workflow.
Added Dynamic Thresholding
Layout is similar to v1.3 again.
Settings are based on my tastes, please adjust to your liking!
Full workflow from start to finish averages about 4 to 5 minutes on my 3060.
This version is specifically for use with the CFG++SamplerSelect node. If you do not plan on using the CFG++SamplerSelect node, then v1.3 should still be good to use!
I also added the ApplyRAUnet and PerturbedAttentionGuidance nodes.
Nothing too fancy but has been working great for me. For more info on the new additions (and an old one) please go to:
CFG++SamplerSelect: https://github.com/pamparamm/ComfyUI-ppm
Lying Sigma Sampler: https://github.com/Jonseed/ComfyUI-Detail-Daemon
PerturbedAttentionGuidance: https://github.com/pamparamm/sd-perturbed-attention
ApplyRAUNet: https://github.com/blepping/comfyui_jankhidiffusion
Note: Depending on the checkpoint/model you are using, you may have to make adjustments to the settings (as expected). Some models handle higher numbers in "Lying Sigma Sampler - dishonesty_factor." The author of the node recommends 0.1 for SDXL based models. You can play with higher numbers and see how it turns out for you.
The plus side:
More CFG++ samplers.
More stable end results (at least in my testing).
The downside:
Image Saver does not see the samplers from CFG++SamplerSelect by default. So the field for "sampler_name" will have to be manually entered on the Image Saver node.
Full workflow takes longer from start to finish. Roughly 6 minutes on my 3060 RTX.
v1.3 changes:
Added Detail-Daemon nodes
Added Image Comparer nodes from rgthree's ComfyUI Nodes.
As of 1.3 the workflow works as follows:
Initial Image Generation
Watermark detection/removal
Upscale x1.5
Upscale x2.5
Color Correction
Save Image
Please feel free to adjust the settings to your preferences. At these settings, I typically generate an image from start to finish in about 4.5 minutes on my 3060 RTX.
v1.2 and earlier:
This workflow works as follows:
Initial Image Generation
Watermark Removal (this requires a watermark detection model that will need to be placed in your ComfyUI/models/ultralytics/bbox folder) - I use this one: https://civitai.com/models/311869/nsfw-watermark-detection-adetailer-nsfwwatermarkssyolov8
Upscale 1st pass (current settings are set to 1.5x of the original image)
Upscale 2nd pass (current settings are set to roughly 2.5x of the original image)
Color Correction
Save Image (You will need to specify your output path on the Image Saver node in the "path" field).
"Load Lora" node is not needed. To use a lora, please use the "Select to add Lora" option on the "Positive Prompt" node.
Note: if your prompts seem like they are completely being ignored, please make sure to check if the "Mode" on the prompt nodes are set to Populate and not Fixed.
I strongly recommend using ComfyUI manager to install any missing custom nodes. If you want to download them manually, see the list below.
List of Custom Nodes used:
ComfyUI Image Saver
Comfyroll Studio
Impact Pack
Inspire Pack
Ultimate SD Upscale
comfyui-art-venture
WAS Node Suite
Comfyui lama remover
ComfyMath
This workflow incorporates a slightly modified version of Dynamic Watermark Removal During Render or Image Upload (by Leinad882) found at https://civitai.com/models/265571/dynamic-watermark-removal-during-render-or-image-upload-by-leinad882. Big thanks to them for creating the bounty for the watermark removal workflow and sharing it with the community.
Thanks to @killedmyself for introducing me to the Color Correct node from comfyui-art-venture. This has really been useful in countering the color fade from Ultimate SD Upscale.
I only use the Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation options for that node, but feel free to adjust to your liking.
Disclaimer: Please be aware that sometimes things break when updates are made by comfy or by the custom node creators. (e.g. Ultimate SD Upscale doesn't like using the scheduler input from ComfyUI Image Saver).
v8 changes:
Note: newer version does not mean it’s better, it’s just what I am using/experimenting with currently.
Testing performed using Distance sampler (n & p versions) and a variety of schedulers on Better Days (Illustrious based merge) on ComfyUI v0.3.31 and Comfy Frontend v1.18.6
Disclaimer: If you are using a different version than of any/all of those listed above, then this workflow may not work for you. I can't account for every difference, since we are all potentially using different versions of something.
Adjustments were made to work with the experimental Distance sampler.
TL;DR for this sampler:
“A custom experimental sampler based on relative distances. The first few steps are slower and then the sampler accelerates (the end is made with Heun). The idea is to get a more precise start since this is when most of the work is being done.”
Uses a low amount of steps (4 to 10) and is recommended by the author to use 7 steps with AYS or Beta schedulers. (You can always try other schedulers too. YMMV.)
A complete explanation of this sampler can be found on the project page.
Note: this particular sampler does not seem to work with v-pred models (at least not on Lobotomized Mix).
Installing the Distance sampler also adds a couple cfg++ samplers that I have not tested.
Image generation from start to finish on a 5060ti 16GB takes roughly 3 minutes on the settings I used for the sample images.
Settings will need to be adjusted to fit your preferences (as always).
Using a different sampler/scheduler combo and switching USDU seams_fix_mode to “None” can speed up the process greatly.
Added:
Mahiro - “to make CFG less dumb”. As quoted here.
Guidance Limiter from the ComfyUI-ppm custom nodes which is an implementation of this.
As far as settings for this go. I am just leaving them at the default. The project page does not appear to have any related instructions for the two settings.
Boolean switches above the KSampler and USDU nodes for toggling Detail Daemon on and off.
These are toggled to “true” by default.
Removed:
2nd KSampler
This was not beneficial enough for me to keep in the workflow.
It seemed to make the image worse in most cases.
Perturbed Attention Guidance has been removed.
It was not beneficial enough for me to keep it.
30% Slower generation time for a possibly better result
