Searge-SDXL: EVOLVED v4.3.2

Version 4.x is here.

I made a convenient install script that can install the extension and workflow, the python dependencies, and it also offer the option to download the required models.

Please read the install instructions in the readme file for more information about the install script and how to use it.

Description

Some custom nodes for ComfyUI and an easy to use SDXL 1.0 workflow. A detailed description can be found on the project repository site, here: Github Link

Installing

Detailed install instruction can be found here: Link to the readme file on Github

Usage Notes

The workflow is in the workflow folder, please load it from the JSON files to make sure you are using the latest versions of it.

The images in the examples folder have workflows embedded.

How to use this workflow

Here is an amazing Youtube video that Nerdy Rodent made about version 3.4 of the workflow. Many things have changed in v4.0 but the basics still apply. And while you are watching it, don't forget to subscribe to the channel.

Updates

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

  • ... many more things, too many to mention them all here

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'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

The brand new update to version 2.0 of my custom node extension and workflows. Starting from v2.0 the extension and workflow will be released together in one file instead of having 2 separate downloads.

This update contains bug fixes and improvements for the extension, and some new workflows to support image to image and inpainting in addition to the text to image workflows.

This is the latest set of SDXL 1.0 workflows. For the 'Reborn' workflow, at least version 1.0.2 of the comfy extension is required to provide all the required node types.

Unpack this zip file into the custom_nodes folder in your ComfyUI installation. The git clone install method is still the recommended way, but this is an alternative if you don't want to be able to update to newer versions via git pull.

Updated workflows for use with SDXL 1.0 in two variations. The simple workflow is closer to the older version released here, the advanced workflow uses a different way to process the prompts at the cost of a bit of image generation speed.

This is an experimental workflow for ComfyBox, a UI frontend for ComfyUI. This workflow does not require my custom nodes at the moment, but it is also limited to txt2img without the img2img support that my custom nodes provide.
