ComfyUI Node: Select Lora

Select Lora:

The FramePackLoraSelect node is designed to facilitate the selection and integration of LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) models within the ComfyUI framework. This node allows you to choose a specific LoRA model from a designated directory, adjust its strength, and optionally fuse it with a base model to enhance performance. The primary goal of this node is to streamline the process of incorporating LoRA models into your workflow, providing a user-friendly interface to manage multiple LoRA models and their configurations. By offering the ability to adjust the strength of the LoRA model, you can fine-tune the influence it has on the base model, allowing for greater control over the final output. This node is particularly beneficial for AI artists looking to experiment with different model adaptations without delving into complex technical setups.

Select Lora Input Parameters:

lora

The lora parameter allows you to select a LoRA model from the available options in the ComfyUI/models/loras directory. These models are expected to have a .safetensors extension. This parameter is crucial as it determines which LoRA model will be used in the process. The selection of the model can significantly impact the results, as different models may have varying characteristics and effects on the base model.

strength

The strength parameter is a floating-point value that controls the influence of the selected LoRA model on the base model. It has a default value of 1.0, with a range from -10.0 to 10.0, and a step size of 0.0001. Setting the strength to 0.0 effectively unmerges the LoRA, meaning it will have no impact on the base model. Adjusting this parameter allows you to fine-tune the degree to which the LoRA model affects the output, providing flexibility in achieving the desired artistic effect.

fuse_lora

The fuse_lora parameter is a boolean option that determines whether the selected LoRA model should be fused with the base model. By default, this is set to True, which is recommended for better performance. Fusing the models can lead to more cohesive and integrated results, as the LoRA model's adaptations are directly applied to the base model. This parameter is essential for optimizing the performance and quality of the output.

prev_lora

The prev_lora parameter is optional and allows for the loading of multiple LoRA models. It accepts a list of previously selected LoRA models, enabling you to build upon or modify existing configurations. This parameter is useful for complex workflows where multiple LoRA models need to be combined or iteratively adjusted to achieve the desired outcome.

Select Lora Output Parameters:

lora

The lora output parameter returns a list of LoRA models that have been selected and configured through the node. This list includes details such as the path, strength, and whether the model is fused. The output is crucial for subsequent nodes or processes that require the configured LoRA models, as it provides all the necessary information to apply the models effectively.

Select Lora Usage Tips:

• To achieve optimal results, experiment with different strength values to find the right balance for your specific project. A higher strength may result in more pronounced effects, while a lower strength can provide subtle enhancements.
• Consider using the fuse_lora option to integrate the LoRA model with the base model for improved performance and more cohesive results. This is particularly useful when working with complex models that benefit from seamless integration.

Select Lora Common Errors and Solutions:

"LoRA model not found"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified LoRA model cannot be located in the ComfyUI/models/loras directory.
• Solution: Ensure that the LoRA model is correctly placed in the designated directory with the .safetensors extension and that the file name is correctly specified in the lora parameter.

"Invalid strength value"

• Explanation: This error arises when the strength parameter is set outside the allowed range of -10.0 to 10.0.
• Solution: Adjust the strength value to fall within the specified range, ensuring it is a valid floating-point number.

"Failed to fuse LoRA model"

• Explanation: This error may occur if there is an issue with fusing the LoRA model with the base model, possibly due to compatibility issues.
• Solution: Verify that the selected LoRA model is compatible with the base model and try disabling the fuse_lora option to see if the issue persists.
