WorkflowX actually ships two image editors, and the difference between them is the whole story. Image Compare Edit X is the terminal review desk - no outputs, all browser. Image ProcessorX is the one with an output, the one you can drop mid-pipeline when you want to hand-edit an image and feed the result to the next node. Same family, opposite place in the graph.

The mechanic that makes it workflow-safe: everything you do in the editor is recorded as a versioned, normalized "recipe" in processor_state (a UI-managed string, default {"schemaVersion":1}), and that state is validated server-side. Reload the workflow and it renders deterministically - your adjustments come back exactly as you left them, not as a fuzzy memory of what you tweaked. That's the property that separates "useful interactive node" from "fun toy that loses your edits."

Inputs and what they map to

  • image1 (IMAGE) - the primary image. It's also O1 in the editor.
  • image2 (IMAGE, optional) - a second layer or comparison image. That's O2.
  • operation_mode - Continue executes immediately; Pause holds for interactive editing before the result flows on.
  • output_image - pick which thing the node emits: O1, O2, or the composed O3.
  • processor_state - the serialized, versioned edit recipe. Managed by the UI; you mostly shouldn't hand-edit it.

Output: a single image (IMAGE) - whichever source or composed result you selected.

The editor controls are the expected set: layer order, opacity, adjustments, curves, presets, plus apply/continue, reset, and save/session actions. It's built to work as a two-layer stack - compare your sources, blend, adjust, and emit the winner.

Install

One pack install:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/haroonaslam/WorkflowX-Configurator

or search WorkflowX Configurator in ComfyUI Manager, restart ComfyUI, hard-refresh the browser. No pip deps, no model files.

Where it pays off and where it bites

  • Use Pause when you want to iterate before it runs on. Continue just passes the selected output straight through - convenient, but if you need to actually edit between generations, Pause is the mode.
  • output_image is the one setting beginners miss. You can have both inputs wired and wonder why the output never changes - check whether you're emitting O1 when you meant O3.
  • State is the contract. Because edits live in processor_state, sharing a workflow shares your edits - which is great for reproducibility and a small privacy note: keep personal edits out of workflows you publish if that matters to you.
  • It's a manual step, not automation. This node is for the "I want to nudge this" moments. If you're compositing the same way every run, ordinary blend/color nodes will do it faster.

The right tool when "good enough" isn't, and you want the fix baked into the workflow rather than done in an external editor.
