An edit made at the picture's own size loses whatever the model pushed
past the canvas edge, so realigning it left an empty strip on 13 of 16
held-out edits. Realign to Source now takes an optional stitcher: given
Load Image + Pad's stitcher for the padded canvas the edit was made on,
it measures inside the picture's area only and returns just that area,
so what the model drew into the margin fills the edges.
- A drift within half a pixel of a whole-pixel shift is cut straight
out of the edit with no resampling; an edit that already lines up
comes back untouched.
- The coarse pass also tries the edit at 0.86x-1.28x, so a large zoom
is found; models often reframe a padded canvas by zooming in to fill
it, and that zoom does not count toward Max zoom.
- The report says whether the frame was cut out or warped and names the
margin each side needed when an edit ran out of picture.
Load Image + Pad gains a mirror fill, which models read as more of the
scene: over 16 edits it provoked a reframe on 2, against 7 for edge
pixels and 5 for flat gray. The Qwen Image 2.1 Edit + Realign example
now edits on a 64 px mirror margin with the stitcher wired.
An optional source_image socket pads an image from another node instead
of the chosen file, so a step before the pad (flattening a transparent
picture onto white, say) no longer has to be saved and loaded back.
- The wire wins over the file; validation skips the file check while it
is connected and runs core's link-type check itself, since asking for
input_types turns core's off for the node.
- A wired run hands the canvas a small temp preview (one file per node,
overwritten each run) and the true source size, so the stage draws the
last image it padded; before the first run it shows an outline.
- Card rows gain linkedBy, so the Source row dims while a wire replaces it.
- Appended and optional with no widget: saved workflows and API prompts
load unchanged. Node API snapshot refreshed.
Rounding the canvas to Multiple put the leftover on the right and bottom
whatever was padded, so the published Krea 2 Outpaint workflow (top and
bottom padded, Multiple 16, Budget 1.6) grew a 6 px grey strip down the
photo's right edge. Krea painted it flat, the feather opened the photo
beside it, and Stitch's colour match read it as a seam.
The leftover now joins a padded side (the far one when both are). An
axis nobody padded is scaled onto the multiple when a Budget is set (one
uniform scale) and trimmed evenly without one; the node's canvas shows
the trim as -N px. The JS preview (pad_canvas.mjs / pad_panel.mjs)
mirrors the Python plan to the pixel. Crop + Rotate + Pad keeps its old
rule for now.
A native select draws its option list itself, so hovering a name gave
nothing to go on: you picked by filename alone. Load Image + Pad, Load
Video and the crop / rotate / pad editors now open a list that shows the
hovered picture, or plays the hovered clip muted with its size and
length, and filters as you type; arrow keys, Enter and Escape work.
The picker (js/shared/media_picker.mjs) only reads the combo widget's
options and writes the chosen value back, so saved workflows, undo and
the API are unchanged. Pure parts live in media_list.mjs with tests.
The three Crop + Rotate + Pad nodes now share one canvas row (Fill,
Feather in px, Resize) and an Open editor | Reset crop | Reset row, the
image and frame nodes report width and height, the frame node resizes,
and Load Image + Pad has a Reset padding button. Their pages still
described the old image quick row and outputs.
Help pages named the raw widget (divisible_by, max_frames, color_match)
where the card shows a label (Multiple, Limit, Tone match), so a reader
could not find the control. Each such control now reads as the visible
label with the widget name beside it, and option values show the text
on the segment (match a, hist, cover, guided).
Stitch Inpaint takes stitchers from five nodes, not one. Load Image +
Pad's reference is always built. Seed has no convert-to-input and no
"↺" button any more. LoRA templates live in the browser, and the absorb
section listed only some of the loaders it reads. Video Crop + Rotate +
Pad → Frame has four outputs and no resize. Frame Interpolate names the
RAFT file and folder, and the extras install with ComfyUI's Python.
- New nodes: Image Resize plus the Utility group (Text, Integer, Float,
Show Text, Math Expression, Select Every Nth, Split Batch, Merge
Batches, Free Memory) - the dependency-free gaps that let shared
workflows drop heavy packs.
- Replace with AusBoss nodes (prototype): preview-then-confirm graph
rewrite swapping known third-party nodes for pack equivalents, with a
tested translation map, per-node opt-out, and refuse-with-reason for
nodes the pack cannot stand in for.
- Load Video: single-frame FRAME picker, an honest "what will load"
label from the probed source rate, drop-a-video-to-restore. Save
Video: format-aware widgets and a file_path output. Stitch Inpaint
gained a blend_mask output, Select Frame negative from-the-end
indexing, Image Size a batch count - all appended, saved workflows
load unchanged.
- LoRA Loader: drag-to-reorder rows, hover thumbnails on rows, file
size and date in the info card.
- Appearance: flagship scheme deepened to slate-teal; the retired
bright-teal pair upgrades automatically via LEGACY_SCHEME_PAIRS.
Optional queue-completion chime, off by default.
- Image Resize invariant: pixels are only invented on an explicit
width+height pad request - scale-derived modes resolve divisible_by
snaps with a sub-half-step resize, never bars.
- Docs refreshed for six stale pages, stale text and metadata fixed
across the pack, the panel-height rule codified in AGENTS.md and the
brand skill, and ausboss_node_tour.json added - a model-free example
exercising 17 node types in one graph.
Validated: scripts/validate_nodes.py (24 files), 300 JS tests, all
Python suites under the ComfyUI embedded interpreter.
Load Image + Pad does the same job from the same stage and starts from
the file, so the only thing the second node added was taking an IMAGE
wire - one idea holding two slots in the menu.
Deletes the node, its panel, its help doc and its stage-only shared
helpers (padEmptyStateText, findPadPreview), and drops it from
NODE_MODULES, PUBLIC_NODE_IDS, the README and the panel guard list.
The padding helpers are untouched; Load Image + Pad and Align Image both
use them. Two console labels there named the removed node, so
_fill_tensor now takes the source name - Align Image passes its own
pad_color, and a colour it cannot read is no longer reported against
padding. The BHWC and mode errors read "Padding"/"Pad mode" instead.
The on-node pad stage moves to ComfyUI-AusBoss-Lab, which has its own
AUSBOSS_LAB_PadImage.
The audit compared every node against ComfyUI core and the major packs;
this lands its outcomes in one branch.
On-node visual editing (the old Codex-pack interaction, rebuilt):
- New Load Image + Pad: image loader with whole-edge pad dragging on the
node canvas, align-to-multiple rounding, and a megapixel target that
rescales the source before padding so the mask seam stays binary.
- Pad Image gains the same handle canvas, fed by an execution-time
snapshot of its input; wireframe with diagnostic empty states before
the first run. Widgets, outputs, and saved workflows unchanged.
- Image Crop + Rotate + Pad's compact panel is now a live stage - crop,
pad, and rotate handles on the node, one shared implementation with
the full-screen editor so the two surfaces cannot drift.
Feature gaps closed against the ecosystem:
- Crop For Inpaint: target_megapixels, selectable rescale_algorithm
(recorded in the stitcher for the paste-back), and extend_* inputs
that grow the frame itself for outpainting.
- Save Video: format choice - mp4 h264, mp4 h265, webm vp9 with Opus
(resampled to 48 kHz); CRF drives all three.
- Load Video: every_nth thinning (fps output divides to match) and a
max_frames cap that ends the decode early.
- LoRA Loader: saved stack templates behind a bar button, and a console
warning when a LoRA's base-model family disagrees with the checkpoint.
- LM Studio Chat: history in/out for multi-turn chains and a json_schema
widget for structured replies.
- Drop Shadow: multiply blend and a shadow_mask output. Align Image:
offset outputs for un-aligning after sampling. Color Match:
first_frame reference mode as a one-node video flicker fix.
Removed (backed up in git history): Select Frame Range and the Video
Bundle family - core ImageFromBatch and the core VIDEO wire now cover
both jobs. Dead NODE_ID module variables cleaned out of every node file.
455 Python tests, 216 JS tests, validate_nodes.py green on 19 node files.
