A set of nodes for ComfyUI that can composite layer and mask to achieve Photoshop like functionality.
The LayerStyle: Stroke V2 node is part of a node collection for ComfyUI, a graphics processing and UI tool. This node provides enhanced functionalities for adding a stroke (or outline) effect to a layer image, giving users the ability to manipulate graphical layers within their projects. It is particularly useful for creating distinctive and visually appealing designs with customizable stroke parameters.
The LayerStyle: Stroke V2 node applies a customizable stroke to a given image layer while allowing users to blend this layer with a background image in various ways. The node provides options to modify the stroke's size, color, opacity, and blending mode, allowing for flexible and complex compositions.
The node accepts the following inputs:
Background Image: This is the primary image onto which the layer image and stroke effect will be applied. It serves as the canvas for compositing the final output.
Layer Image: The image that will be topped with a stroke and blended with the background image. This is typically a smaller image or a part of the design that needs emphasis.
Invert Mask (Boolean): A toggle to invert the alpha mask used during blending. This can be useful for certain masking effects.
Blend Mode: Determines how the layer is blended with the background image. Various modes are available to achieve different visual effects.
Opacity (Integer): Controls the transparency level of the blend, with 0 being fully transparent and 100 being fully opaque.
Stroke Grow (Integer): Adjusts the inner boundary of the stroke, allowing it to shrink or grow. Useful for fine-tuning the stroke's appearance.
Stroke Width (Integer): The width of the stroke applied around the layer image. Defines how thick the stroke appears.
Blur (Integer): Amount of blur applied to the stroke edges. Useful for creating softer or more diffused outlines.
Stroke Color (String): The color of the stroke, specified in hex format (e.g., #FF0000 for red). Defines the visual appearance of the stroke.
Layer Mask (Optional): A mask applied to the layer image that defines areas to be visible or hidden. This input is optional but can be used for additional control over the composited image.
The LayerStyle: Stroke V2 node is used in graphical workflows within ComfyUI to enhance layer-based compositions by adding stroke effects to specific image elements. This node is particularly useful in scenarios where visual emphasis is needed around certain elements without altering the overall composition's balance. It can be used to:
Flexible Stroke Control: The node allows for precise modifications in the appearance and behavior of strokes via parameters like grow, width, and blur. Users can explore a wide range of aesthetic possibilities.
Customizable Blending: The blend mode parameter enables creative blending of images, facilitating the integration of layers in harmonious or striking ways.
Error Handling: Built-in logging messages inform users of any mismatches or processing errors, helping to ensure smoother workflow integration.
Mask Compatibility: Supports masking for additional creative control, providing an option to hide or reveal parts of the layer image based on custom masks.
The LayerStyle: Stroke V2 node is a powerful tool in the ComfyUI suite for artists and designers looking to add creative layer stylings to their images, enhancing both functionality and visual appeal in their projects.
