A set of nodes for ComfyUI that can composite layer and mask to achieve Photoshop like functionality.
The LayerUtility: RestoreCropBox node in ComfyUI is designed to enhance image processing workflows by restoring a cropped image into its original position within a background image. This node allows users to seamlessly integrate cropped image parts back into their broader visual compositions, ensuring that both the image and the mask fit perfectly into the specified area.
This node accepts the following inputs:
Background Image (required): The original image onto which the cropped component will be restored. This should be provided in image format.
Cropped Image (required): The smaller, cropped section of an image that needs to be placed back onto the background image. This input allows users to specify an image format.
Invert Mask (required): A boolean option with a default value of False. This input determines whether the mask should be inverted during the restoration process.
Crop Box (required): Defines the coordinates of the box (x, y, width, height) where the cropped image should be applied onto the background image. This box determines where the cropped image will be placed.
Cropped Mask (optional): A mask that can be used with the cropped image to define which portions should remain visible. If provided, this mask will be used to blend the cropped image with the background image. It's optional and can be left out if no masking is required.
This node produces two outputs:
Image: The resulting image where the cropped section has been successfully restored into the background image at the specified crop box coordinates.
Mask: A mask of the same size as the output image, indicating the areas that have been painted over with the cropped image. This can be useful for further image processing tasks down the line.
The LayerUtility: RestoreCropBox node is particularly useful in image editing and compositing workflows within ComfyUI. Here are some potential uses:
Image Restoration: Reconstruct images after editing by accurately returning cropped pieces to their original positions.
Layer Management: Integrate different layers of an artwork efficiently, merging them seamlessly onto a base layer.
Masking Tasks: Use combined image and mask outputs to perform advanced blending, filtering, or other graphical effects that rely on specific image regions.
Architectural or Design Visualization: Restore elements from different designs or plans, assisting in visualizing changes over a base model.
Batch Processing: Depending on the size of the given input images, the node can handle multiple instances (batch processing) at once.
Mask Inversion: Users have the flexibility to invert the mask if required, allowing for greater customization of image integration outcomes.
Image and Mask Compatibility: The node ensures that both the image and mask outputs are compatible with further processing tools within ComfyUI, promoting a streamlined workflow from start to finish.
Error Handling: It's important for users to ensure that the input sizes, especially of the cropping box and images, are correctly aligned to prevent any misalignment in the final output.
In summary, the LayerUtility: RestoreCropBox node offers powerful functionality for restoring and aligning cropped image elements, making it an essential tool for tasks requiring precision in image compositing and restoration.
