ComfyUI Custom Node: ControlNet Auxiliar

This ComfyUI custom node, ControlNet Auxiliar, provides auxiliary functionalities for image processing tasks. It supports various image manipulation and enhancement operations.

Installation

Before using any source code from external libraries or services, it's advisable to test it in a safe environment such as sandbox machines or remote online services like Google Colab. These platforms provide isolated environments where you can evaluate the code without risking your local setup. Testing in such environments allows you to assess compatibility, functionality, and potential dependencies before integrating the code into your own projects. This practice helps in identifying any issues or conflicts early on and ensures a smoother integration process into your development workflow.

You can find an example of testing ComfyUI with my custom node on Google Colab in this ComfyUI Colab notebook.

Manual Installation Guide for ComfyUI-ControlnetAux (Ubuntu Linux).

Clone the Repository:
- Open your terminal.
- Navigate to the directory where ComfyUI is installed, ensure that you are in the custom_nodes folder (e.g., ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ ).
- Run the following command:
```
git clone https://github.com/madtunebk/ComfyUI-ControlnetAux.git
```
Install Dependencies:
- Navigate into the cloned directory:
```
cd ComfyUI-ControlnetAux
```
- Activate the virtual environment:
```
source ../../venv/bin/activate
```
- Install the required Python packages using pip:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
- To support DWPose which is dependent on MMDetection, MMCV, and MMPose, you need to install additional packages:
```
pip install -U openmim
pip install "mmcv>=2.0.1,<2.2.0"
mim install mmengine
mim install "mmdet>3.1.0"
mim install "mmpose>1.1.0"
```
Run the Application:
- Once the dependencies are installed, you can run the application.

Usage

Input Types

image: Input image for processing.
mode: Processing mode, including options like scribble_hed, softedge_hed, depth_midas, openpose, etc.

Return Types

The node returns processed images.

Functionality

process_image: Processes input image based on specified mode and parameters.

Working Resolution

The default working resolutions for ControlNet models in this repository are 512x512, 512x768, 768x512, 768x768, 768x1024, 1024x768, and 1024x1024 pixels. These resolutions are recommended for optimal performance and output quality.

Custom Resolutions

Please note that using non-default resolutions may result in variations in output size. While the models are designed to handle a range of input resolutions, output sizes may not always be guaranteed to match the input resolution, especially for non-square or non-standard resolutions.

Warning

It's important to be aware that deviations from the default working resolution may affect the quality and consistency of the output. If you choose to use custom resolutions, we recommend testing and validating the output to ensure it meets your requirements.
