Version 4.3.2

What's new in v4.3.2?

This is a minor update to make the workflow and custom node extension compatible with the latest changes in ComfyUI.

Version 4.3.1

What's new in v4.3.1?

This is a minor update to make the workflow and custom node extension compatible with the latest changes in ComfyUI.

Version 4.3

What's new in v4.3?

This update added support for FreeU v2 in addition to FreeU v1.

New Features

• Support for FreeU v2 has been added and is included in the v4.3 workflow
• Added more presets for FreeU and a selector to switch between v1 and v2
• Updated the example images to embed the v4.3 workflow

Version 4.2.1

In the hotfix v4.2.1 an issue was fixed when no refiner is used.

What's new in v4.2?

This update contains bug fixes that address issues found after v4.0 was released.

Bug Fixes

• A recent change in ComfyUI conflicted with my implementation of inpainting, this is now fixed and inpainting should
  work again

New Features

• Support for FreeU has been added and is included in the v4.2 workflow
• Note: the images in the example folder are still embedding v4.1 of the workflow, to use FreeU load the new
  workflow from the .json file in the workflow folder

Version 4.1

What's new in v4.1?

This update contains bug fixes that address issues found after v4.0 was released.

Bug Fixes

• The high resolution latent detailer was not properly set up in the processing pipeline and did nothing
• The debug printer node was broken - I didn't notice that because it was not connected in any of the v4.0 workflows
• A bug related to generating with batch sizes larger than 1 has been fixed, it's now working properly

Other Changes

• The images in the examples folder have been updated to embed the v4.1 workflow

Version 4.0

What's new in v4.0?

• A complete re-write of the custom node extension and the SDXL workflow
• Highly optimized processing pipeline, now up to 20% faster than in older workflow versions
• Support for Controlnet and Revision, up to 5 can be applied together
• Multi-LoRA support with up to 5 LoRA's at once
• Better Image Quality in many cases, some improvements to the SDXL sampler were made that can produce images
  with higher quality
• Improved High Resolution modes that replace the old "Hi-Res Fix" and should generate better images

Version 3.999 - Release Candidate for v4.0

This is the last test version before version 4.0 is released. If no major issues are reported, this will be the same as v4.0 - apart from some minor tweaks like updating the version number.

Version 3.991 - Road to v4.0 - Test Release 1

Public test version 3.991

This version is the first public test version of the huge update to version 4.0 and is 95% feature complete.

You have to run python_embeded\python.exe -m pip install opencv-python at least once to install a required python dependency

What's new in v4.0 3.991?

Major Highlights

• A complete re-write of the custom node extension and the SDXL workflow
• Highly optimized processing pipeline, now up to 20% faster than in older workflow versions
• Support for Controlnet and Revision, up to 5 can be applied together
• Multi-LoRA support with up to 5 LoRA's at once
• ... (TODO: list more major highlights)

Smaller Changes and Additions

• Workflows created with this extension and metadata embeddings in generated images are forward-compatible with
  future updates of this project
• The custom node extension included in this project is backward-compatible with every workflow since version v3.3
• (compatibility is not part of the public test versions, it will be back when v4.0 is released)
• ... (TODO: list more smaller changes)

Version 3.4

What's new in v3.4?

• Minor tweaks and fixes and the beginnings of some code restructuring, nothing user should notice in the workflows
• Preparations for more upcoming improvements in a compatible way
• Added compatibility with v1.x workflows, these have been used in some tutorials and did not work anymore with newer
  versions of the extension
• (backwards compatibility with v2.x and older v3.x version - before v3.3 - is unfortunately not possible)

What about v3.3?

• Starting from v3.3 the custom node extension will always be compatible with workflows created with v3.3 or later
• (backwards compatibility with v2.x, v3.0, v3.1. and v3.2 workflows is unfortunately not possible)
• Going forward, older versions of workflow will remain in the workflow folder, I still highly recommend to always
  use the latest version and loading it from the JSON file instead of the example images
• Version 3.3 has never been publicly released

Version 3.2

What's new in v3.2?

• More prompting modes, including the "3-prompt" style that's common in other workflows
  using separate prompts for the 2 CLIP models in SDXL (CLIP G & CLIP L)and a negative prompt
  • 3-Prompt G+L-N - Similar to simple mode, but cares about a main, a secondary, and a negative prompt
    and ignores the additional style prompting fields, this is great to get similar results as on other
    workflows and makes it easier to compare the images
  • Subject - Style - The subject focused positives with the style focused negatives
  • Style - Subject - The style focused positives with the subject focused negatives
  • Style Only - Only the positive and negative style prompts are used and main/secondary/negative are ignored
  • Weighted - Overlay - The positive prompts are weighted and the negative prompts are overlaid
  • Overlay - Weighted - The positive prompts are overlaid and the negative prompts are weighted
• Better bug fix for the "exploding" the search box issue, should finally be fixed (for real) now
• Some additional node types to make it easier to still use my nodes in other custom workflows
• The custom node extension should now also work on Python 3.9 again, it required 3.10 before
