ComfyUI Node: 📏 Fast Sobel Sharpen

📏 Fast Sobel Sharpen:

The FastSobelSharpen node is designed to enhance the sharpness of images by utilizing the Sobel edge detection method. This technique is particularly effective in highlighting edges and fine details within an image, making it a valuable tool for artists and designers looking to enhance the clarity and definition of their visual content. By applying the Sobel operator, the node calculates the gradient magnitude of the image, which is then used to accentuate edges. This process results in a sharpened image that retains its original characteristics while improving its overall sharpness and detail. The FastSobelSharpen node is an efficient solution for quickly enhancing images, providing a balance between performance and quality.

📏 Fast Sobel Sharpen Input Parameters:

images

The images parameter is the input image or batch of images that you want to sharpen. It is expected to be in the form of a tensor, which is a multi-dimensional array used in deep learning frameworks like PyTorch. This parameter serves as the primary input for the sharpening process, and its quality and resolution will directly impact the final output.

strength

The strength parameter controls the intensity of the sharpening effect applied to the image. It is a floating-point value that determines how much the detected edges should be enhanced. The default value is 0.5, with a minimum of 0.0 and a maximum of 2.0. A higher strength value will result in more pronounced edges, while a lower value will produce a subtler effect. Adjusting this parameter allows you to fine-tune the sharpening effect to suit your specific needs and preferences.

📏 Fast Sobel Sharpen Output Parameters:

IMAGE

The output of the FastSobelSharpen node is an IMAGE, which is the sharpened version of the input image. This output retains the original dimensions and color channels of the input but with enhanced edge definition and clarity. The sharpened image is suitable for further processing or direct use in various applications, providing a visually improved version of the original content.

📏 Fast Sobel Sharpen Usage Tips:

• Experiment with the strength parameter to achieve the desired level of sharpness. Start with the default value and adjust incrementally to see how it affects the image.
• Use the FastSobelSharpen node in combination with other image processing nodes to create a comprehensive enhancement pipeline, allowing for more control over the final output.

📏 Fast Sobel Sharpen Common Errors and Solutions:

"CUDA out of memory"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the GPU does not have enough memory to process the image, especially if the image resolution is high or if multiple images are processed simultaneously.
• Solution: Reduce the image resolution or batch size, or try running the node on a machine with more GPU memory.

"Invalid input tensor shape"

• Explanation: This error indicates that the input image tensor does not have the expected shape, which should be in the format of (batch_size, height, width, channels).
• Solution: Ensure that the input image tensor is correctly formatted and matches the expected dimensions before passing it to the node.
