@21:29 Slight oversight. Connect the Width and the Height to the downscale from the Image Resize at the bottom (divisible by 32 group) and NOT THE ORIGINAL. Thanks to the user "dr.gurn420" for correctly catching this oversight. The oversight would affect only if Downscaling an non 32 divisible image. Would have no effect if using the rinse and repeat (upscale downscale method) as shown in the video.

Great tutorial. Appreciate the fact that you didn't just dictate what needs to be done but explained as many relevant parameters are possible, going into the "why" of them.

Thank you a lot for such level of precision and the step to step process. Very interesting and effective

I think this is probably the most useful ComfyUI tutorial that I have ever watched (and I have watched tons). I am gathering together a suite of workflows that let me blend 3D generated product designs with AI actors and backgrounds and this workflow allows me to easily add a convincing level of blended detail. Most of all I was able to understand what I am doing thanks to your efforts.

This is one of the most difficult tutorials I have ever heard, almost did not understand, I think I will re-watch several times, hoping to finally understand, thank you very much

[anduvo]

Awesome tutorial, very detailed, many thanks for explaining all the parameters, that's very valuable!

It was a very long video, but it was a class that got me hooked one by one. I think I'll be able to try many things thanks to this kind, detailed explanation. thank you!😍

[RodrigoNishino]

Very cool to see your workflow and learn about new nodes

Best YouTube Tutorial for Photos... Thank you very much!

Thanks for all the effort you put into explaining every step!

This video is awesome. I'm brand new to all of this but hoping to be able to use this to upscale my landscape photography for larger print sizes. Hopefully I'll be able to figure all of this out.

Thank you for your instructions and rapid answer. I deleted my comment since it does not make sense anymore (first i type comments then the solution comes right away). I watched your video severel times. It took me two hours to understand that it is not "upscaler". You have to upscale image first - then it refines. Again, thank you.

Correct - and now extrapolate this to a visual person who can do this and has the technical know-how.

This was a lot like this mathclass meme, starts out simple, get distracted for a second and suddely the whole board is full, luckily this is a video, pause rewind and replay. Phew that was a lot. What if your old images are discolored or faded? Like an old polaroid that turned very red over the years

[dr.gurn]

hey - great video! <3 could you please explain why you have the cropped image as the input to the downscale image resize and the width and height inputs of the downscale image resize as the original photo divided by X? this causes the cropped image to be resized to a ratio which is not divisible by 32... should the inputs be the other way around?? should we have the width and height inputs as the cropped image outputs and the image input as the original image output?

As a newbie to comfyui, I'm overwhelmed both in the complexity and the amazing results. Do I understand it all? No but I would love to play around with it. I have 64GB RAM and a 4090 gpu with 24GB VRAM. To download your workflow, I have to be a paid subscriber?

[AntonyNguyenTriMedia]

Hi there, I have some issues with my output image, it's look different from the original image, can you please explain where can I fix this problem? Many thanks!

[dagkjetsa]

Excellent tutorial :). There is one thing I cannot get to work though - Gemini. I've followed the instructions in the video, used the manager to download/install the gemini nodes, but I do not seem to have any gemini folder. I do have a gemini flash folder (I also installed that one). Any ideas as to how to fix this?

[DJVARAO]

Well, it didn't work for me. Some images got sharp but most of them got noisy.

I wonder why I only find Upscales solutions. Is there no way to use a 1024x1024 image and enhance it in detail at same 1024x1024? Is it required to upscale in higher resolution?
