Node: IMAGE Saver @ vrch.ai (vrch.ai/image)

1. Add the IMAGE Saver @ vrch.ai node to your ComfyUI workflow.

2. Configure the Node:

   • Image Input:
     • images: Provide one or more images to be saved.
   • Filename:
     • filename: Specify the base filename for saving the image(s). If multiple images are provided, an index will be appended (e.g., web_viewer_image_00.jpeg).
   • Path:
     • path: Define the subfolder within the ComfyUI output directory where the images will be saved (default is web_viewer).
   • File Extension:
     • extension: Choose the output image format from jpeg, png, or webp (default is jpeg).
   • Quality Settings:
     • quality_jpeg_or_webp: Set the quality for JPEG or WEBP images (default is 85, valid range: 1–100).
     • optimize_png: Enable PNG optimization when saving PNG images.
     • lossless_webp: Enable lossless compression for WEBP images.
   • Preview Option:
     • enable_preview: If enabled, the node will return preview information for the saved images.

3. Save Images:

   • The node saves the provided images into the specified subfolder under the ComfyUI output directory using the given filename and file extension.
   • When multiple images are provided, filenames will be automatically suffixed with an index.

Node: IMAGE Preview in Background @ vrch.ai (vrch.ai/image)

1. Adding the Node

Add the IMAGE Preview in Background @ vrch.ai node to your ComfyUI workflow.

2. Node Configuration

• Image Input:
  • images: Provide a single image to be used for the background preview.
• Channel:
  • channel: Select a channel number from "1" to "8" (default is "1"). This determines the filename prefix (e.g., channel_1.jpeg or in batch mode channel_1_00.jpeg).
• Background Display:
  • background_display: Toggle to enable or disable displaying the image as a background in ComfyUI.
• Refresh Interval:
  • refresh_interval_ms: Set the interval (in milliseconds) for refreshing the background preview (default is 300ms).
• Display Option:
  • display_option: Choose how the image is displayed in the background. Options include original, fit, stretch, and crop (default is fit).
• Batch Display:
  • batch_display: Toggle to enable batch display mode. When enabled, the node will cycle through multiple images within a batch.
• Batch Display Interval:
  • batch_display_interval_ms: Set the interval (in milliseconds) for switching between images in batch mode (default is 200ms).
• Batch Images Size:
  • batch_images_size: Define the total number of images in the batch, which determines the range for the index used in the filename (default is 4).

3. Background Preview

• When background_display is enabled, the node saves the input image to the preview_background subfolder within the ComfyUI output directory.
• File Naming Rules:
  • If batch_display is false, the saved filename format is:
    channel_{channel}.jpeg
  • If batch_display is true, the saved filename format is:
    channel_{channel}_{index:02d}.jpeg
    where {index} is updated cyclically based on batch_display_interval_ms and within the range defined by batch_images_size (for example: channel_1_00.jpeg, channel_1_01.jpeg, channel_1_02.jpeg, channel_1_03.jpeg).

4. Notes

• Ensure that the output directory is correctly configured, as the node saves images into the preview_background folder within that directory.
• The node dynamically updates the background preview by refreshing the saved image at the set interval. Adjust the refresh interval and batch display parameters as needed for optimal preview performance.
