## 🎯 Your First Workflow (2 minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Create Basic Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Right-click canvas** → Add Node
|
||||
2. **Navigate**: Prompt Orchestration → Lighting Modifier (Single)
|
||||
3. **Connect**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Your Text Input] → [Lighting Modifier] → [CLIP Text Encode] → [Your Pipeline]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Configure Node
|
||||
|
||||
In the Lighting Modifier node:
|
||||
- **text**: Enter your base prompt (e.g., "sports car on highway")
|
||||
- **modifier_id**: Set to `7` (golden hour - most popular)
|
||||
- **preserve_base**: Keep as `True`
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Generate
|
||||
|
||||
Run your workflow! The prompt will automatically get golden hour lighting.
|
||||
|
||||
**Result**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Input: "sports car on highway"
|
||||
Output: "sports car on highway, golden hour, warm low-angle side-light, clear sky"
|
||||
```

## 💰 Cost Saving Tips
|
||||
|
||||
### Tip 1: Preview First
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Text] → [Lighting Modifier] → [Show Text Node]
|
||||
```
|
||||
See the prompt BEFORE rendering to avoid wasted generations.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tip 2: Use Key Moments
|
||||
Instead of all 20 modifiers (expensive!), use "key_moments" preset (6 variations).
|
||||
|
||||
### Tip 3: Test with Low Steps
|
||||
Use your batch variations with low step count first, then re-render winners at high quality.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## ⚡ Pro Tips
|
||||
|
||||
### Tip 1: Chain Modifiers for Complex Lighting
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Text] → [Modifier 7: golden hour] → [Modifier 19: wet road] → [CLIP]
|
||||
```
|
||||
Result: Golden hour with wet reflections!
|
||||
|
||||
### Tip 2: Use Random Modifier for Exploration
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Text] → [Random Modifier] → [Show "used_modifier_id"] → [CLIP]
|
||||
```
|
||||
Let the system surprise you, then see which modifier worked!
|
||||
|
||||
### Tip 3: Combine with Wildcards
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Wildcard: "__car__"] → [Lighting Modifier] → [CLIP]
|
||||
```
|
||||
Different cars, same perfect lighting!
|
||||
|
||||
### Tip 4: Save Preset Workflows
|
||||
Save workflow with your favorite modifier settings, load when needed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tip 5: Use Combiner for Complex Prompts
|
||||
```
|
||||
[Subject] ──┐
|
||||
[Location] ─┤→ [Combiner] → [Lighting] → [CLIP]
|
||||
[Details] ──┘
|
||||
```

## 🐛 Troubleshooting Quick Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem: Nodes don't appear
|
||||
**Fix**: Restart ComfyUI completely (not just refresh)
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem: Output is empty
|
||||
**Fix**: Check that text input is actually connected
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem: All variations are the same
|
||||
**Fix**: Use category="all" or specify more custom_ids
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem: Style not working
|
||||
**Fix**: Make sure you selected a style (not left on "custom" without custom_style text)
