L2: Cool Text 2 Image Trick in ComfyUI - Comfy Academy 

Update: I limited the Workflow to only what is shown in the video, so it is more focused on the Lecture

(( 4:24 )) Preview images DO save, but they save to the /temp directory instead of the /output directory. The saved preview images also still include the Workflow metadata. They remain there until ComfyUI is restarted, then that folder is deleted with all its contents.

everytime i watch a video with added functionality for comfyui, in this case it was the control net stages, i'm blown away with the potential of these workflows

I'm starting to see the benefit of comfy. Thanks Olivio! Excellent stuff

This video is pure gold, thank you very much Olivio Sarikas.

Nice! Really getting into this now, love how calm and easy your voice is, makes it so easy to follow.

Thanks a Billion Olivio! Helping Artists and Creatives become more efficient in technology

Olivio, thank you so much for your tutorials!

Thank you very much Olivio Sarikas

I like the way you explain it. It's very simple and straightforward. Thanks

If using aux preprocessors just use aio preprocessor and choose midas or the other depth maps. Olivio here is using default controlnet. They can both do the same thing.

Thank you very much for the lesson!

Merci pour ce partage !!!! Vous êtes génial !!!!

a lot of great tipps and hints, thank you!!

Very nice, i learned the basic use pretty quickly.

Definitely some assumptions left to be made by the people jumping in at this point, but I like learning that way. Rather than download the workflow, I challenged myself to fill in the gaps and figure it all out on my own and learned quite a bit in the process. Took me a while to figure out how to get the preprocessors and controlnet models installed - especially given my setup is a little different as I am running ComfyUI via the ModelSurge Auto1111 extension, and I have my models in a non-standard area outside of my WSL2 filesystem; but here I am 3 days later and I got it all working swimmingly, with extras!!! Thank you for the wonderful tutorials @Olivio. You are appreciated. :)

Thanks for your lesson, it helps a lot, thanks !

ohh man, i wish you had shown the entire build flow, the suddenly jumping in progression it's very confusing, especially when you are learning, while you point at a node and explaining what it does my focus is struggling with figure out how we got there, how i can get to that point, where each of the lines goes, what is an VAE, what is a controlnode etc. meaning there's very little attention on what you are trying to teach, if you instead had build it together with us,, isolated the function like explaining controlnet before using it in a larger setting, it would be way easier to follow along and learn... sorry if i am a bit harsh in my critique, i am just a little dissapointed since i looked forward to follow this series, i enjoy your work and have a ton of fun following how you explore the realm of AI :), now i'll watch the video again a few times.

Super useful, Olivio!

4:00 - It'd be helpful if you explained WHY one should use a custom VAE instead of a checkpoint's built-in. Actually, NO ONE ever explained this so I am wondering about hat until today 🤔

fantastico. obrigado por compartilhar conosco.

No no no! for this level of information I must both like, comment and subscribe

Thank you for the video! It was tricky to understand how to install everything, but I did it

Nice vid, If you set the seed to the same fixed value on each sampler and set to progress by one each time. You are going to get more consistency between images.

5:37 I wrote the same prompts and almost got the exact results like you, how cool is that 😄

this video explained perfectly the superiority of comfy ui , and made me give up on vladmandic automatic

so cool

great course, thank u so much. i was alright with autmatic 1111 but comfy was not easy to understand

Thanks for your awesome video, my friend. Just playing around with nodes. Connected the latent output from the first Ksampler to the input latent from a second Ksampler and lowered a bit the denoise from this second Ksampler.Found that gives me some similar results to use contronet adapters. The question is ... using those contronet adapters gives us more consistency making the result look more similar at the original image ?. Thanks for all

definitely recommend getting the anything anywhere nodes to help keep workflows clean (you connect a node output to the anything anywhere node and it will automatically connect that output to all inputs of the same type (very useful with assigning models and VAE without having a bazillion lines in complex workflows). Also recommend coloring the text-encode nodes : Green for Positive and Red for Negative (will make it a bit clearer at a distance which is what)

Thank you for an understandable and fluent education. How can I preview the recorded images in the interface? They appeared in the section below in some of the trainings I watched.

How can I add the Controlnet Preprocessor since its not appearing on the list of nodes?

Thank you for the video! Where can i get the ControlNet Preprocessor Node ?

I did it yeee!!!

Thank you for these lessons Olivio , they are very clear and quite easy to follow for a beginner. There is a problem with the ControlNet Processor in the workflow, both launched on the clud and run locally. It doesn't seem to be working anymore, so after the first generated image the othes can not follow. can it be reaplced with something else?

There is another instance, where your workflow may be very important. Sometimes seemingly small prompts can change your image in a way you don't want to, because the model was trained that way and has some prejudicess. With your workflow you can circumvent the models prejudices and can approach your imagined outcome step by step.

It would be really helpful if you would show how to set up comfyUI properly. Like install the models and comfyUI itself. :)

hey! i love youre content and channel! Thank you for work and keep going!

Where do I get the dreamshaper models? Can't find them in the manager. And what models would you suggest today?

Problem i been having is not only to get consistent face but also a body, i guess depth map can help with that 👍

I'm following along but running into a speedbump @9:00. I can't figure out which node to load in place of the "Controlnet Preprocessor" Node. That node does not exist in my environment and I instead have a package called Controlnot Auxillary Preprocessors, yet I still can't find any node similar to the Controlnet Preprocessor Node with the CNET_Name output.

I love your tutorials, thanks for that ! sooo Useful ! I have a issue and I don't know how to fix it : When I try to open your graph, I have a error : When loading the graph, the following node types were not found: AV_ControlNetPreprocessor This 3 packages are installed : ComfyUI's ControlNet Auxiliary Preprocessors ComfyUI_Comfyroll_CustomNodes ControlNet Auxiliar

UPDATE: It started working when I uninstalled some Aux...somethingsomething... preprocessor custom node I had installed some time earlier. Then restarted ComfyUI, then REINSTALLED it, restarted ComfyUI and now it works. I get an error saying "Error occurred when executing AV_ControlNetPreprocessor: 'resolution' is not in list" on the lower-most workflow.

Thank you Olivio for tutorial. What is difference between Batch_size and batch count.

How important is the spelling of your keywords when it comes to generating your desired output? I noticed in the video that you misspelled "digital paiting" but it did seem to work anyways?

how can i add my own lora to the workflow

9:37 Apply ControlNet - the strength is tone down to 0.83, any special reason? What if I use 1 or more than 1?

hey Olivio thank you for the amazing tutorials! I am following this tutorial and I keep getting Error occured when executing CheckpointLoaderSimple: Error while deserializing header : HeaderTooSmall

I pressed control shift V but it just copied out but can't have these wire connections? Tell me why it doesn't work

It says I don't have the AV_ControlNetPreprocessor node when I load the workflow? Edit: It might be really nice for the beginners for you to note that you are using custom nodes & that openart lists custom nodes and links the repositories. It took me a while to it figure out!

Solid tutorial otherwise

don't know why the image is strange, eg: the car has more than four lights or wheels. is it the problem for the prompt text? appreciate for your kind reply ...

Gracias Olivioooooooo

how can i install checkpoint? I have a mac

A silly question, How do you download the Dreamshaper 8? A - Inside comfyUI >>> Install Custom Nodes B - Inside ComfyUI >>> Install Models C - By visiting the Civit A.I D - None of the above *Please reply honestly 🙏✨

I do not have the manager option visible, how can I fix this?

My KSampler keeps showing the preview. How did you hide it?

Following along with this and the Controlnet Preprocessor seems to be obsolete. Any suggestions for an updated workflow that achieves the same / similar output?

For people who have problem installing "ComfyUI's ControlNet Auxiliary Preprocessors" in comfyUI with this error: "install failed: ComfyUI's ControlNet Auxiliary Preprocessors" Solution: I disabled 'comfyui-art-venture' (if installed), then I installed 'ComfyUI's ControlNet Auxiliary Preprocessors' and re-enabled 'comfyui-art-venture'

ooof control net preprocessor nodes missing, checked reddit, don't even have the folder, downloaded via pinokio... anyone have a fix

Might be a dumb question as just learning...Why would you use a different VAE and not the one within the model? Just for variation?

I downloaded your workflow from OpenArt, but the images are coming out very blurry. I didn't change any settings.

hi! I got an error whe i use the control net " deth-fp-16" 😢😢

I can not find contronet Preproccessor in my comfy UI, can you please explain how that part is done ?

so frustrating. I'm stuck trying to get any ControlNet Preprocessor to work, and to no avail. one error after another, several installations and solutions, and nothing.

i can't find the controlnet preprocessor - instead i sent it to MiDas Depth Map directly. The preview image looks similar, but it won't work after that.

Error occurred when executing AV_ControlNetPreprocessor:

I had the problem with the preprocessor but solved it via reinstalling art venture. But now, the only preprocessor I am able to select is "tile". I installed the models, also linked my A1111 controlnet-models and also copied them into "models/controlnet". Nothing helps. No preprocessors. Any ideas?

As a side comment, it's useful to use a different seed for every instance of the Ksampler or you'll get practically identical results.

Hi Olivio, may I ask you to change your UI of choice to Invoke. It has everything, A1111 style UI, workflow UI, Cavas, almost everything. Is there a real reason why AI youtubers prefer comfyui to invokeai?

I don't know whats different about my workflow (i built it by hand, not downloaded) but the images get different backgrounds, for example, for the asian woman the trees are japanese cherry trees, and for the african woman, the park has dirt paths and african looking trees. Your backgrounds look very similar.

This is obviously for pros lol. Where do you recommend learning more about SD in general?

I give up with this tutorial, AV_ControlNetPreprocessor missing , how to install, I try ComfyUI's ControlNet Auxiliary Preprocessors and didn't work, why would make video tutorial and skip steps... :/

One bit of feedback, perhaps focus on sdxl (especially when you get to stuff like control net) 1.5 should really be religated to the past.

cannot click ckpt_name nothing is happening 1:07

i'm having the same issue @shtogie5972 is having loading the "Controlnet Preprocessor"
