ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI-Curve

ComfyUI-Curve Introduction

ComfyUI-Curve is a powerful extension designed to enhance your image editing capabilities within the ComfyUI environment. It offers a suite of professional-grade tools that mimic the curve adjustment functionalities found in popular software like Photoshop. With over 70 preset styles, advanced mask support, and comprehensive histogram analysis, ComfyUI-Curve empowers AI artists to achieve precise color grading and image adjustments effortlessly. Whether you're looking to apply subtle enhancements or dramatic transformations, this extension provides the flexibility and control needed to bring your creative vision to life.

How ComfyUI-Curve Works

At its core, ComfyUI-Curve operates by allowing you to manipulate the tonal range of an image through curve adjustments. Imagine a curve as a flexible line that you can bend to adjust the brightness and contrast of different parts of an image. By moving points on this curve, you can make shadows darker, highlights brighter, or adjust midtones to achieve the desired effect. This process is akin to adjusting the volume on a stereo, where you can increase or decrease the intensity of specific sound frequencies. Similarly, ComfyUI-Curve lets you fine-tune the intensity of colors and tones in your images.

Troubleshooting ComfyUI-Curve

Here are some common issues you might encounter while using ComfyUI-Curve, along with solutions:

• Mask Edges Too Hard: If the edges of your mask appear too sharp, try increasing the mask_blur value. A recommended range is 3-8 pixels for softer transitions.
• Effect Too Strong: If the applied effect is too intense, consider reducing the curve_strength or mask_opacity values to achieve a more subtle result.
• Inaccurate Mask Area: If the mask does not cover the desired area accurately, you can use the invert_mask option or create a more precise mask.
• Batch Processing Issues: Ensure that the number of masks matches the number of images in your batch to avoid processing errors.
