Thank you for this video.

I just deployed Automatic 1111 last night, so I'm just getting into it and there is a LOT more to learn.

Whilst ComfyUI is definitely harder to grasp initially as a beginner, I've found it a lot better with regards to actually teaching you what stuff does since everything is exposed and editable under the hood, and thus examination of and modifications to the workflows of others that you download demonstrate more tangibly how the individual settings work off another to produce the final image

I think the biggest setback of ComfyUI for those just picking it up is the concept of Custom-Nodes. Trying to learn from the workflow of others can be extremely frustrating, because 9/10 you will be missing a node, and not even have any idea "Find missing Custom Nodes" in Node Manager (or even node manager: since it is pretty much a essential part of ComfyUI and does not come with ComfyUI by default) is a thing, AND even if you do know, chances are you will run into deprecated and even niche hard to find nodes not in the Node Manager repo. It's all a bit much to learn and keep track of. Going forward, I think making the workflows more streamlined and a better repo for nodes would make a big difference towards its adoption and retention rate.

ComfyUI I only use if it is really necessary, If you use Forge WebUI over Automatic1111 that is huge performance boost especially if you have Low VRAM. Personally I use Fooocus WebUI it is so practical image quality is better with foocus V2 expansion and styles, in painting very good and handy face swap image to image more than enough. If you have low VRAM ist is so fast and esay to use SDXL lightning models. Performance presets amazing.

I think a useful workaround for some of the issues you have found in ComfyUI - which I've never actually used before, but am interested in learning, hence the reason I'm watching your video - is to create custom templates based on whatever workflow you need for a specific project, similar to how art programs have custom workspaces. Is this something that can be done in ComfyUI? If so, I would think it would make it more powerful than A1111, which doesn't allow those presets (to my knowledge, at least).

Why my comfyui generates images in seconds but my automatic 1111 takes minutes, even hours.

7:38 - not really. You could save and load different presets ;-)

But what I dont understand most video tutorial said comfy UI is easier... what the hell

[MadMaxwell]

Neither, just use Forge. It's A1111 that runs on 4gb of graphics memory easily. It's better and faster and wont freeze up your pc.
