ComfyUI Node: Load Images into List

Load Images into List:

The "Load Images into List" node is designed to facilitate the loading of images from a specified output folder into a list format, making it easier for you to manage and iterate through multiple images. This node is particularly beneficial for tasks that require batch processing or sequential image manipulation, as it allows you to quickly refresh and update the list of images, automatically selecting the first image for immediate use. This functionality is especially useful in workflows where images are frequently updated or replaced, ensuring that you always have access to the most current set of images without manual intervention. The node's ability to handle images efficiently makes it an essential tool for AI artists looking to streamline their creative processes.

Load Images into List Input Parameters:

image

The image parameter is a required input that specifies the source from which images will be loaded. It offers a variety of options, including uploading an image directly, selecting from an image folder labeled "output," or accessing images remotely via a specified route. This flexibility allows you to choose the most convenient method for your workflow, whether you're working with local files or need to access images stored on a server. The parameter also includes a refresh button, which, when clicked, updates the image list and automatically selects the first image. This feature is particularly useful for ensuring that you are working with the latest images available, especially in dynamic environments where images are frequently updated.

Load Images into List Output Parameters:

output_image

The output_image parameter represents the primary image loaded from the specified source. This output is crucial as it serves as the main visual content that you will work with in subsequent processing steps. The image is typically converted into a format suitable for further manipulation, ensuring compatibility with various image processing techniques.

output_mask

The output_mask parameter provides a mask associated with the loaded image, which is used to define areas of interest or exclusion within the image. This mask is essential for tasks that require selective processing, such as applying effects to specific regions or isolating objects within the image. The mask is generated based on the image's alpha channel or transparency information, ensuring accurate representation of the intended areas.

Load Images into List Usage Tips:

• Utilize the refresh button to ensure you are always working with the most up-to-date images, especially in workflows where images are frequently updated or replaced.
• When working with remote images, ensure that the specified route is correctly configured to avoid connectivity issues and ensure smooth image loading.

Load Images into List Common Errors and Solutions:

No valid images were processed

• Explanation: This error occurs when the node fails to process any images, possibly due to incorrect file paths or unsupported image formats.
• Solution: Verify that the image paths are correct and that the images are in a supported format. Ensure that the images are accessible and not corrupted.

Image size mismatch

• Explanation: This error arises when images in a sequence have differing dimensions, which can disrupt processing.
• Solution: Ensure all images in the sequence have the same dimensions before loading them into the node. Resize images if necessary to maintain consistency.
