ComfyUI Fundamentals - Masking - Inpainting 

I love the way you explain, you start from the basics and add complexity as you explain in detail. It is also noteworthy the neatness in the nodes, THANK YOU!

Excellent tutorial, thank you! I've learned a lot from this series. "Set Latent Noise mask" is a revelation. I would never have thought to use that instead of the default.

The best tutorial on this topic. Bravo and thank you !

Thank again. Your Comfyui tutorial series are very informative and valuable

This is the one! Seen a few tutorials here and there and read a lot of Reddit posts that didn’t make a whole lot of sense but this is solid! Thank you!

This was literally the best tutorial. Thank you

Another life-saver! Thanks so much!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

You are a life saver, I kept trying and trying and messing around with the mask and it turns out what I was missing was using a second load image for the mask. That put me back so much for so long.

Wow would never have figured that out myself. Thanks!

Wow great video very helpful!

Despite for some reason being a nightmare to install the nodes today (doesn't want to do it automatically through comfyui manager and written instructions aren't great) once I finally got it loading this is absolutely amazing and trounces other ways of masking, positioning, and inpainting. Thanks a lot for the heads up about these very cool nodes!

Thanks for the video, you really helped me understand the different approaches and the pros/cons! I'm going to watch the Masquerade video now

Thank you for this. This was a great tutorial.

Very well done, thank you.

Wow, thx for the correct method for inpainting in comfyui

Thank you! Very useful! Also thanks for including the json file!

Great tutorial, thank you.

Very useful! Thank you.

Great video. Thank you a lot

Really useful ! Thanks

Eventually someone who addresses those topics! Thank you! For some reason this inpainting process for me has the same issues like you had with the VAEEncodeForInpaint. In your example the VAEEncodeForInpaint works surprisingly well anyway. I still get inpaint areas where the subject of the new prompt is not even visible with the Latent Noise Mask. At least when the new subject has a much different size (like mouse vs. elephant). I feel like I'd have to crop & upscale the masked area first and then put it back into position (with something like WAS nodes). However I didn't figure out yet how to do this with latents only.

Quick thing i found out: "IMAGE" input/outputs only have R,G,B channels, while "MASKS" only works with ALPHA (or, at least, have a single channel). So "Load Image" has two outputs: "Image" (RGB) and "Mask" (A); it splits the channels that way. So if you try to convert from "Load Image" to mask as alpha you get an error. Following the reasoning, nodes as "Mix Color By Mask" use "image" as input (and not mask) so we have more freedom. Also they have only r, g, b options and not alpha because "image" data in ComfyUI does not have it, but on the other hand if they used "mask" they should use a mask (1 channel only) already processed previously

Merci beaucoup pour ce tutoriel :)

Many thanks!!😀

the vae inpaint was screwing me up. thank you for showing us the right way!

At the 17:04 mark, you were about to explain how to paste characters from different renders into one picture. I wish you would have shown examples! If you ever find the time, a demo of that would be great. Thank you!

thank you

great tutorial, clipseg looks like a useful node, thank you

thanks for workflow

That different node to set a latent noise mask is gem, I wasn't happy about comfyUI inpainting but that should improve the results. However, I still think inpainting in A1111 is better.

Well yes, I made that mistake too, then I set up a controlnet for inpainting, that didn't work, then I found your video! Thank you, liked and subscribed.

Thanks a Lot!

I just realized that "pipes" like kpipeloader that I just saw on the Impact Pack custom nodes tutorial page might run your bus a little more effeciently for you. And thanks for these vids, they help a lot!

i love you

informative!

you should be able to control-shift V and paste with wiring intact for your bus

what if i want to edit the image i already inpainted, how do i do that?? For example the image you have in the end, what if i want to change that one, maybe change a nest, and keep the dragon?? how can i do this? It doesnt work for me.

Thank you, your tutorials are actually the best. I'm trying to put something into an image but it doesnt seem to be working. I'd love a tutorial on like a img2img masking sort of thing. Like putting a dragon in my backyard for example 🤣

i love how we went from here's some text go figure it out. to planning and customizing processes which are used to optimize the process. One almost could say it feels like factorio from the future. which i love! the idea behind it is allready a good base to build on. stuff like native linux support, modular and people can mod the software to their own liking. It builds community. Where we were sharing blueprints of factorio we're now sharing png's to make images. What a wonderful time to be alive!

This works very nicely! But it is also quite slow for larger images, even when the mask is very small. I suspect that it denoises the full image and then leaves only the mask. Is there a way to constrain denoising only to the masked area, plus some padding for additional info (like it can be done in a1111)? I imagine facedetailer nodes do something like that, because they operate much faster with smaller masks.

Excelent tutorial, thanks! Sadly the "Image Blend by mask" is missing in my confyui... I have searched for it on the web, and in the manager, with no luck... Where could I find it? Thanks again!

I'm trying to figure out how to use the 'Mix Color by Mask' node, but I'm having some trouble locating it. I've searched in the manager tab, but can't find anything with that name. Any guidance on where I can find this node or how to use it would be greatly appreciated!

could you do an in-depth tutorial on clipseg? everytime I use it with the cut/paste-by-mask, it creates this fuzzy mask that pastes with this non-100% opacity making the thing I cut out with clipseg look "ghostly" when I don't want that and I'm struggling to figure out how to fix that.

Thanks for this. Can you explain the setup in comfyui for inpainting models?

Very instructive video! Does ComfyUI have anything similar to "Inpaint Conditional Mask Strength"?

Great vids you have here, help a lot , thanks! Just wondering if you can do video about Roop / face swap in comfyUi

Very helpful, thanks! Unfortunately I cannot find the Clipseg node in the search window after I installed it with manager which shows that it is installed. Do you have eventually have any clue why?

Inpainting video for hands please. How can I use the "Set latent noise mask" if it needs a "samples" input ? I mean, the normal way would be to input an image with a drawn mask on it that goes straight to a VAE Encode (for Inpainting) that accepts input from pixels / vae and mask. Should I have to redo the whole image process with a fixed seed and take it out to a Latent Noise mask node ?

3:25 Because it's not a mask in a pixel image format (blue). It's only the values of the alpha channel (green), I think.

i'm trying to do a group photo using roop, and i was able to draw my friends face, but i am having trouble drawing a long beard on the one guy without it targeting the wrong person. Any advice on how i could fix that?

I can;t file " mix color by mask".Where I can find it ? Thank for making great video series

I have downloaded your workflow, it's very useful to me, many thanks. Will you launch fix hand tutorials? It's very hard to fix hands for me. Please arrange fix hands tutorial, thank you again.

Thank you so much, this is incredibly helpful. I don't understand why they did not take the open source code from Blender Nodes, with years of Polish behind it and tons of functionality and extensions available for it. Instead there is this absurdly unconventional interaction (ctrl to select and shift to drag? Really? Wow guys!..) I'm amazed at the utter lack of documentation in this age of writting documentation... There's so much I admire and respect about StabilityAI, and then I still can't see the full file name of a file on huggingface on mobile? Come on! There are paid professionals with budgets and timelines behind these tools right? I don't understand why I can't even find a document explaining how to code a node for ComfyUI? Honestly quite absurd. I get that this is early development, but these seem like very strange priorities.

great tutorial - but I can't find the CLIPseg node. is this a custom install, where can I find it?

Wow!...all that for inpaint? Insane but nonetheless great tutorial, keep up the good work.

Thanks for adressing this. But how can i inpaint using latent noise mask on a png i created earlier?

is there any tutorial on inpainting that it can disturb the mask to make the transition between the mask and the background seamlessly sir, i found that the transition of the mask and the outside is hard

This is great but why can't I find a single tutorial/workflow for outpainting? Literally can find 0 discussions on ComfyUI + outpainting. Is it just as simple as adding extra whitespace to the image in Paint and painting a mask over that area? Because I tried that and it did nothing. Please help.

The tutorial is just so awesome. What kind of change would you recommend if I wanted to inpaint using control net?

I am having trouble finding where to put the masking.json. I usually use the png images to load workflows.

What ksampler do you use in order to have an output while generating ?

You're pretty bad at baby dragons :D... but your tutorial is very well explained and interesting. Thanks a lot !

Do you know how to avoid artifacts being created around a masked out subject lets say when Inpainting a background? For me, VAE Incode for Inpaint is working but adding artifacts, meanwhile SetLatentNoiseMask is not really inpainting much of the background. Maybe too little noise?

Wow, how did you discover such a useful and important trick about the Set Latent Noise Mask node? I have a few questions: - How did you make the Ksampler to node show preview images like that? I can only use Save/Preview image nodes to see the final image. - How to make invert mask? For example, I want to keep subject 1 and change everything else. Thank you very much for sharing.

keep trying to incorporate this into an img2img workflow (so no starting ksampler, image loader and the maskloader) but results arent coming out at all. i can tell its trying to impact the mask but doing so in undesirable ways.. not seeming to take into account the big picture which you talk about and provided a solution for in a non-img2img way so not sure why it doesnt work in an img2img (or i've prolly got something wrong in my flow)

How are you able to see the rendering going on in Ksampler? Mine doesn't do that at all? I am running super low VRAM could this be the reason?

What GPU are you using? Seems like fast prompts

How to inpaint at full resolution?

looks good but in your workflow shared i dont have any image in my ksampler like in your video.

I'v downloaded the workflow and I am following the tutorial but can't seem to get the workflow to actually inpaint it just renders a new image every time?? no clue why

Dude your audio is too low even on full volume without headphones. Please up them decibels so i hear it on speakers.

How to upload my photo to this workflow?
