🦊 RS Load Image

ComfyUI's native Load Image has a mask editor, but it's a freehand brush - and freehand masking around a crisp object is how you get jagged, leaky edges that bleed into your inpaint. 🦊 RS Load Image (RaykoSplineMask) replaces that editor with a spline-based lasso: click points around the object, the node fits a smooth curve through them, and you get a much cleaner selection. The README's description is exactly right - it's the Lasso tool from Photoshop, inside ComfyUI.

How it works

Where the native Load Image hands you a paintbrush, this gives you a polygon editor. Click on the image preview to drop points; the mask is built from the spline that runs through them. Ctrl+click a point to delete it, or hit 🔴 CLEAR POINTS to wipe the whole selection and start over. You can scale the node bigger on the canvas to place points more precisely. Images come from two buttons: "🎨 IMAGE" (files in your ComfyUI/input folder) and "🖼️ UPLOAD IMAGE" (anywhere on your PC).

Under the hood it's a Load Image: the IMAGE output returns the original image untouched, and the MASK output is a black-and-white tensor where white is your drawn polygon. It's ready to use the moment you add it - no queue needed for the drawing itself.

Inputs and output

• image - a STRING widget that names the file (the loaders in this pack use the standard ComfyUI input-folder dropdown).
• coordinates (optional) - serialized polygon state, so the mask you draw survives workflow save/load.

Outputs: image (the loaded image) and mask (your spline selection as a MASK).

How to install

Part of ComfyUI_RaykoStudio:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/Raykosan/ComfyUI_RaykoStudio.git

Restart ComfyUI, or install via ComfyUI Manager (search "ComfyUI_RaykoStudio"). No extra dependencies.

Common issues

• Mask edges are smooth but the wrong shape. Splines are smooth by design - if the object has hard corners, drop extra points near them so the curve follows. That's the same tradeoff you'd hit in Photoshop.
• Point won't delete. Ctrl+click is the gesture; a plain click adds a new point.
• Which node do I want, this or the Intermediate one? This one loads the image and you mask up front, before the pipeline runs. RaykoIntermediateSplineMask pauses mid-pipeline so you can mask an upstream result. Different jobs, same spline editor.

The honest verdict: this is a strictly better Load Image for anyone doing mask work - the native editor's brush is fine for soft, fuzzy regions, but the spline wins for hard-edged selections (faces, products, cars). If you're already comfortable with the native brush, you might not switch. If you've ever sworn at a jagged mask edge, you'll get why this exists.
