Images Compare Sheet - Queue Loop (TJ)

Images Compare Sheet - Queue Loop (TJ) is the node you put at the end of a queue-loop sweep so that instead of a folder full of loose images, you get one composited grid with labels - the classic "12 seeds, one sheet" deliverable. You wire it into a Queue Loop (TJ) setup, it collects each iteration's image as it arrives, and when the loop completes it stitches them into a single comparison sheet with per-cell labels. If you've ever manually assembled a grid in an image editor after a parameter sweep, this is the automation that removes that step entirely.

How it works

The node is driven by two numbers that map onto the loop's outputs: index (1-based, first queue is 1) and total_count (the loop's total run count - the tooltip explicitly says to connect Queue Loop's queue_count here). Each run, it receives image, names it (see below), stores it, and recomposites the accumulated set into a sheet.

Layout is flexible: layout_mode of GRID, HORIZONTAL, or VERTICAL, with auto_layout choosing sensible rows/columns automatically, or manual rows/columns. fill_direction decides row-major vs column-major ordering, padding spaces the cells, and resize_mode (PAD/FIT/CROP/NONE) controls how each image fits its cell. Labels come from name_source: INPUT (an optional name string input), TEXT (a fixed name_text), or AUTO (an auto-generated prefix + index, e.g. image_001). index_digits, remove_extension, font size, text/background colors are all there for polish.

The outputs tell you where you are: sheet (the composite IMAGE), current_image (this iteration's input), output_name (the computed label), is_complete (BOOLEAN - true when the loop is done), and collected_count (how many images have been gathered so far).

Inputs and outputs that matter

The three you must wire: image, index (from the loop's index), total_count (from the loop's queue_count). Everything else is style. The output you want at the end is sheet.

The workflow shape

The intended graph: Queue Loop drives your sampler's seed (or LoRA index, or steps), its image output feeds this node, and its index/queue_count feed this node's bookkeeping. Save the final sheet when is_complete fires. Two practical notes: the node accumulates in-memory across the loop, so it assumes one continuous sweep (a reset toggle clears the buffer), and total_count mismatch is the classic failure - if the loop runs more passes than this node expects, the "complete" sheet appears early. Wire total_count from the loop itself and you sidestep that. If you're not running a Queue Loop, this node has no reason to exist - but if you are, it turns sweeps from "save 20 files, montage them by hand" into "one labeled sheet per run."
