Badman Utility Nodes

A small collection of Utility and quality of Life Nodes developed to aid me in my workflows. Nothing special and nothing crazy, just extending certain functionalities of base nodes.

Nodes

Conditioning

BadmanCLIPTextEncodeSDXLRegion : SDXL conditioning Node intended for use with CutOff, sadly SDXL does not do too well with CutOff.

Image

ImageBlend (Badman) : Extended Image Blend node with some extra blend functions.

PalletteGenerator (Badman) : Generates a grid of random colors, useful as a palette reference or for procedural color sampling.

LABColorTransfer (Badman) : Transfers the color statistics of a reference image onto a target image in LAB color space.

Image Brightness Adjust (Badman) : Simple brightness adjustment for images.

Image Desaturate (Badman) : Desaturates an image with adjustable strength.

Mask Blur (Badman) : Applies a gaussian blur to a mask.

Dilate Erode Mask (Badman) : Dilates or erodes a mask by a configurable amount.

Strings

String (Badman) : Simple String Type node.

Concat String (Badman) : Simple String Concat Node with a new line option, ideal for combining Tokens from BLIP or CLIP interrogation.

Print (Badman) : Prints String input to console.

Select String from List (Badman) : Selects a specific String from a String List output and forwards this to the output. Can be used to target a specific String when loading prompts from files or from a multi image BLIP interrogator.

Select from Any List (Badman) : Generic version of the string selector that works on any list type, returning the item at the requested index.

StringToInteger (Badman) : Parses a string into an integer for use with numeric inputs.

Wildcard Processor (Badman) : Resolves wildcard tokens in prompt strings against wildcard text files.

Prompt File Image Loader (Badman) : Loads an image from a directory together with the matching prompt at the same index from a delimited prompt file. Supports a configurable delimiter and index wrapping, outputting image, mask, positive/negative prompt strings, and the resolved index.

Numbers

Int Math (Badman) : Integer Math node with some basic Math functions.

HexGenerator (Badman) : Node that generates Hex Colors from linear RGB Values.

IO

IO Config (Badman) : IO configurator that sets up paths dynamically to be stored in setter nodes.

Latent / Noise

Inject Latent Noise Masked (Badman) : Injects noise into latent space with mask control. High mask values receive more noise, low values receive less. Supports multiple blend modes (replace, add, multiply) and mask inversion.

Color / Matte

Color Match (Badman) : Corrects color drift in generated images by learning a transform from a reference pair (drifted → clean) and applying it to new images. Supports reinhard (LAB mean+std, safe across palettes) and hist (LAB per-channel histogram matching, stronger but palette-specific). Can save the learned transform as a preset and reload it later. Includes a live ~180 ms preview that updates when you drag strength or swap presets without re-queueing the workflow.

Color Match Combine Presets (Badman) : Merges multiple saved color-match presets into a single averaged preset — useful for building a "universal" correction from several character-specific pairs. 2–10 preset slots, all presets must share the same method.

Chroma Clean (Badman) : Refines a matte from BiRefNet / RMBG 2.0 / similar against a known-color backdrop. Punches out backdrop leaks (chroma fill-in) and despills edge halos by clamping the dominant background channel. Outputs despilled RGB, refined alpha, and the raw chroma-detection mask for tuning.

Tiled Background Removal (Badman) : Wrapper around BiRefNet / RMBG 2.0 that splits the input into overlapping tiles, runs inference per tile at native resolution, and reassembles a full-resolution mask with feathered seams. Recovers fine-edge detail (hair, crown tips, cavity outlines) that a single-pass net loses to its internal 1024² downsample. Supports an optional safezone_mask input to force-keep regions the matte net tends to drop (eyes, earrings, thin props). Requires the comfyui-rmbg pack installed alongside this one; other nodes load regardless.

WAN Video

WAN Three Frame To Video (Badman) : Generates video from 3 keyframes (start, middle, end) with proper masking for smooth transitions. Supports adjustable middle frame positioning, configurable frame blend width for smooth transitions, and CLIP vision output concatenation for enhanced conditioning.

WAN Outpaint Frame Calculator (Badman) : Computes the frame counts and padding needed to outpaint a WAN video clip to a target length.

TODO

• IO Config (Badman) : Refactor to allow for renaming specific I/O paths, currently fixed path names that I tend to use.
