Paint everything except a person or a pet, turn on fill holes, and it
filled the unpainted subject too, so the part meant to stay was repainted.
The new optional max_hole_size input (a percent of the picture, 0 to 100)
sets the biggest hole fill holes fills. The default, 0, fills every hole
exactly as before, so saved workflows and API prompts run the same; at 2
the gaps a quick brush leaves still fill and a subject left unpainted
stays. Areas touching the picture's edge are never holes, as before.
- Hole sizes come from scipy's labels, the same 4-connected holes its
fill finds; the torch fallback labels the same 8-connected holes as its
own fill. Each picture in a batch is measured on its own, after expand.
- The card gets a Max hole size row with a % unit, dimmed while Fill holes
is off, and a resetUnknown fallback of 0 for 2.x saves that hold the
card's empty value in its slot.
- Tests: a hole above the limit stays, holes up to it fill, 0 matches the
old fill, edge-touching areas never fill, the torch fallback agrees,
batches, and older saves opening with 0.
- Node API snapshot, help page and changelog.
The help pages, the README and the changelog use the new names (Round
canvas to, Frames for, Server file, the Resize switch) and describe the
always-scrubbing timeline and its grip, the padlock rules, the "already
this shape" note, the resize warning and Even out, the preview switch
bringing its picture back, Compare's labels and the Workflow Note's Use it.
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.
Five things surfaced by release testing.
Node search: ComfyUI's search dialog cuts at 64 results and ranks by
[match tier, global popularity, name length], where tier 1 needs the name
to START with what was typed. Popularity is a fixed global table in which
every node from a new pack scores zero, so tier is the only lever. As
"Refine Mask" this node came 121st for "mask" and was never on screen.
Renamed to Mask Refine, which is 15th, and kept "refine mask" as an alias.
The mapping key is untouched, so saved workflows are unaffected. Aliases
alone cannot fix this: the frontend indexes them but drops them from the
tier scoring because they are a list rather than a string, so they decide
whether a node is findable, not where it lands.
Previews: Mask Refine, LaMa Inpaint and Select Frame showed whatever fed
their input, which is nothing when a segmentation node is upstream - Mask
Refine's panel was blank however the mask turned out. Each now returns its
result as a preview and the panel shows that, falling back to the input
before the first run. A node does not need to be an OUTPUT_NODE for this;
returning a ui payload is enough. ComfyUI's own preview for these nodes is
stood down so the picture appears once, in the panel, rather than also
underneath the node. That also fixes LaMa finishing a single image with an
empty panel: frame previews were only attached for batches over one frame,
on the assumption that one image would preview through the output path,
which a non-output node does not have.
Mask Refine opens on expand and blur with the other five behind MORE.
Hidden widgets keep their values and their saved positions. AUTO sets both
from the mask's size, scaled off the 8/4 hand-tuned for the watermark
workflow at 576px, because a feather is a fraction of the picture rather
than a fixed pixel count.
Save Video gains nvenc h264/h265, webm av1, ProRes mov, lossless ffv1 mkv,
gif and webp, plus pingpong and save_metadata. Every format is encoded and
read back in the tests rather than trusted from its table row. fps steps in
whole frames but stays FLOAT: an INT would refuse Load Video's fps link and
round 29.97 to 30, drifting picture off audio. mov files now carry the
embedded workflow, which they silently did not. The reload button is gone -
it only re-fetched what was already on screen.
Not done: Select Frame's preview updates on a run, not as the number
changes. Seeking to a frame needs the source fps, which the browser never
learns, so live scrubbing needs a server route - the surface Frame Chooser
was just demoted for.
Covers smooth, black/white point, edge_refine, and guide_image; spells
out the fixed op order and which controls need the optional
opencv-contrib-python / pymatting installs versus the stock install.
