ComfyUI Layer Style
A set of nodes for ComfyUI that can composite layer and mask to achieve Photoshop like functionality.
Nodes are divided into 5 groups according to their functions: LayerStyle, LayerColor, LayerMask, LayerUtility and LayerFilter.
- LayerStyle nodes provides layer styles that mimic Adobe Photoshop.
- LayerColor node group provides color adjustment functionality.
- LayerMask nodes provides mask assistance tools.
- LayerUtility nodes provides auxiliary nodes related to layer composit tools and workflows.
- LayerFilter nodes provides image effect filters.
Update
- Comprehensive support for batch images, providing convenience for video creation. * to avoid unpredictable results, a few nodes such as CropByMask and RestoryCropBox still do not support batch images. If it is necessary to use these nodes in the batch process, please pre convert them using the Impact-Pack's Image Batch To Image List node.
- Commit RemBgUltra and PixelSpread nodes significantly improved mask quality. *RemBgUltra requires manual model download.
