Image-to-Image Workflow in ComfyUI

ComfyUITry it →Watch full video →Joey /// VP Land ·

Demo summary

The demo shows an image-to-image setup using a 'Load Image' node and a VAE Encode node to use an existing image as a structural guide for the K Sampler.

Step-by-step

  1. Add a Load Image node to the workflow
  2. Upload or select the image you want to use as a structural guide
  3. Connect the Load Image node to a VAE Encode node
  4. Connect the VAE Encode node output to the Latent input of the K Sampler
  5. Adjust the Denoise setting in the K Sampler to a value below 1.0
  6. Select the DPM++ 2M sampler

Options

  • Use a sketch as the input image
  • Use a blocked-out render from Unreal Engine as the input image

Watch out for

  • The Denoise setting must be lower than 1.0 to retain the structure of the original image

Tips

  • Use image-to-image when text-to-image fails to provide the specific framing or blocking you need
  • If you load a default ComfyUI workflow, leave the sampler settings as they are initially as they are often optimized for that specific setup
  • Set Denoise to around 0.87 to significantly modify the image while keeping the basic composition

Highlights

our workflow is pretty much the same except we have this blue box... which is to load our image
