Subject: [PATCH] fix: update dependency versions to resolve conflicts

This change updates minimum dependency versions in requirements.txt:
- Pillow from >=9.0.0 to >=9.1.0 for compatibility with nodes requiring >=9.2.0
- numpy from >=1.21.2 to >=1.23.0 to resolve numpy.dtypes issues
- transformers set to >=4.20.0 for broader compatibility

The fix resolves conflicts with other ComfyUI nodes while ensuring the
depth estimation node continues to function properly.

+# Dependency Version Fix
+
+## Issue
+
+The original `requirements.txt` file specified outdated versions of key dependencies:
+- `Pillow>=9.0.0`
+- `numpy>=1.21.2`
+
+These versions caused conflicts with other ComfyUI custom nodes that required:
+- `pillow>=9.2.0` (required by colpali-engine)
+- `numpy>=1.23.5` (required by scipy)
+
+Additionally, older NumPy versions lacked proper support for `numpy.dtypes`, causing fatal errors.
+
+## Solution
+
+Updated dependency versions in `requirements.txt` to be more compatible with the modern ComfyUI ecosystem:
+
+1. **Pillow**: Updated to `>=9.1.0` (compatible with nodes requiring `>=9.2.0`)
+2. **NumPy**: Updated to `>=1.23.0` (resolves issues with `numpy.dtypes`)
+3. **Transformers**: Set to `>=4.20.0` (modern but widely compatible)
+4. Added explanatory comments to guide future maintenance
+
+## Testing
+
+This fix has been tested to ensure:
+- Compatibility with other ComfyUI custom nodes
+- Resolution of the NumPy dtypes errors
+- Proper functioning of the Depth Estimation node
+
+## Implementation
+
+Applied in the `fix/dependency-versions` branch, addressing just the dependency issues while maintaining all functionality of the original node.
+
+## Future Recommendations
+
+- Consider using more flexible version specifications for dependencies
+- Test node installation in a clean ComfyUI environment
+- Add integration tests that verify compatibility with other popular nodes
