ComfyUI: Compare original vs upscaled image using RG3 nodes

Demo summary
The user adds an 'image compare' node by RG3 to the ComfyUI canvas to show a side-by-side slider comparison of the blurry original image versus the sharp PiD upscaled result.
Step-by-step
- Double-click anywhere on the ComfyUI canvas
- Type 'compare' into the search bar
- Select the 'image compare' node by RG3
- Connect the original input image to the node
- Connect the upscaled output image to the node
- Use the slider to preview the images side-by-side
Watch out for
- Requires the RG3 custom nodes pack installed to access the image compare node
Tips
- Zoom in closely on the comparison to inspect fine details in the background, such as buildings and trees
