ComfyUI Node: Content Shuffle

Content Shuffle:

The ShufflePreprocessor node is designed to manipulate and preprocess images by applying a content shuffle technique. This node is particularly useful in the context of ControlNet Preprocessors, specifically for T2IAdapter-only applications. The primary function of this node is to shuffle the content of an image in a controlled manner, which can be beneficial for various artistic and AI-driven image processing tasks. By leveraging the ContentShuffleDetector, the node ensures that the image content is shuffled based on specified parameters, providing a unique and randomized output that can enhance the creative process or serve specific preprocessing needs in AI art generation.

Content Shuffle Input Parameters:

image

This parameter expects an image input that will be processed by the node. The image serves as the base content that will undergo the shuffling process. The type of this parameter is IMAGE.

resolution

The resolution parameter determines the resolution at which the image will be processed. It accepts integer values with a default of 512, a minimum of 64, and a maximum defined by MAX_RESOLUTION. The resolution impacts the level of detail and the size of the output image, with higher resolutions providing more detailed results but requiring more computational resources.

seed

The seed parameter is an integer that sets the random seed for the shuffling process. This allows for reproducibility of the shuffling effect. The default value is 0, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 0xffffffffffffffff. By setting different seed values, you can achieve different shuffling patterns, adding variability to the output.

Content Shuffle Output Parameters:

IMAGE

The output of the ShufflePreprocessor node is an image that has been processed and shuffled based on the input parameters. This shuffled image retains the original content but rearranged in a randomized manner, providing a unique and altered version of the input image. The type of this parameter is IMAGE.

Content Shuffle Usage Tips:

• To achieve consistent and reproducible shuffling results, use a fixed seed value. This ensures that the same input image will always produce the same shuffled output.
• Experiment with different resolution settings to find the optimal balance between detail and processing time. Higher resolutions provide more detail but may require more computational resources.

Content Shuffle Common Errors and Solutions:

"Invalid image input"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the provided image input is not in the expected format or is corrupted.
• Solution: Ensure that the input image is a valid image file and is correctly loaded into the node.

"Resolution out of bounds"

• Explanation: This error is triggered when the resolution parameter is set outside the allowed range.
• Solution: Adjust the resolution parameter to be within the specified range of 64 to MAX_RESOLUTION.

"Seed value out of range"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the seed parameter is set to a value outside the allowed range.
• Solution: Ensure that the seed value is within the range of 0 to 0xffffffffffffffff.
