Documentation for LayerUtility: ImageReelComposit Node

Overview

The LayerUtility: ImageReelComposit node is part of the ComfyUI framework's Layer Utility node collection. This node is designed to take multiple image reels, compose them into a single composite image, and overlay text using customizable fonts and settings. It offers flexibility in terms of design, allowing users to adjust parameters like font, size, border, and color theme to achieve their desired look.

Functionality

• Composite Creation: It constructs a composite image from one or more image reels provided as input.
• Text Overlay: It displays customizable text on each reel image, using a selectable font and color theme.
• Thematic Adjustment: The node allows users to select a color theme, offering either light or dark options for background and text.

Inputs

The node accepts the following inputs:

Required Inputs

1. Reel 1 (reel_1): The primary image reel to be used for creating the composite image. This input must be provided.

2. Font File (font_file): The font to be used for overlaying text on the image reels. Users can choose from a list of available fonts.

3. Font Size (font_size): An integer value that determines the size of the font used for text overlay. The node allows customization within defined limits to fit various design preferences.

4. Border (border): An integer specifying the thickness of the border around the reels. This value helps in spacing images and text neatly within the composite.

5. Color Theme (color_theme): A choice between 'light' and 'dark' themes, which adjusts the background and text colors accordingly.

Optional Inputs

3. Reel 4 (reel_4): A fourth image reel that can be included in the composite.

Outputs

• Image 1 (image1): The final composite image, formatted as a single output. This image is generated by layering the provided reels with the specified text and theme.

Usage in ComfyUI Workflows
