Thank you for the great tutorial. You have excellent teaching skills presented in a calm way. I have learned a lot of tips that no one has shown before. Most of the ComfyUI tutors race to show us how complicated a workflow can be. When I watch them, I always have the same feeling that I should stay with Fooocus because ComfyUI is too complicated. You showed me that things can work in a simple way. I will definitely come back and watch some parts again. You might consider creating some short videos from this tutorial. Thank you again.

I very rarely comment on youtube videos, but your's deserve much more than that. The amount of information is amazing, it is very well explained, everything in a good pace.
I can't believe you only have 2k views o this video.
I am not completely green on Comfyui, but I'm not an expert either, but I got so much information about Comfy, SD, and everything else.
Congratulations. And thank you very much for this.
