Checkpoints and Models for these Workflows

These can now also be installed with the new install script (on Windows) instead of manually downloading them.

Description

This workflow depends on certain checkpoint files to be installed in ComfyUI, here is a list of the necessary files that the workflow expects to be available.

If any of the mentioned folders does not exist in ComfyUI/models, create the missing folder and put the downloaded file into it.

I recommend to download and copy all these files (the required, recommended, and optional ones) to make full use of all features included in the workflow!

Direct Downloads

(from Huggingface)

Now everything should be prepared, but you may to have to adjust some file names in the different model selector boxes on the workflow. Do so by clicking on the filename in the workflow UI and selecting the correct file from the list.

Smaller Changes and Additions

What is missing in v4.0?

Some features that were originally in v3.4 or planned for v4.x were not included in the v4.0 release, they are now planned for a future version. This was decided to get this new version released earlier and the missing features should not be important for 99% of users.

So, what is actually missing?

Workflow Details

The EVOLVED v4.x workflow is a new workflow, created from scratch. It requires the latest additions to the SeargeSDXL custom node extension, because it makes use of some new node types.

The interface for using this new workflow is also designed in a different way, with all parameters that are usually tweaked to generate images tightly packed together. This should make it easier to have every important element on the screen at the same time without scrolling.

In this mode you can generate images from text descriptions. The source image and the mask (next to the prompt inputs) are not used in this mode.

Inpainting Mode

In this mode you can generate images from text descriptions and a source image. Both, the source image and the mask (next to the prompt inputs) are used in this mode.

This is similar to the image to image mode, but it also lets you define a mask for selective changes of only parts of the image.
