ComfyUI Layer Style
A set of nodes for ComfyUI that generate image like Adobe Photoshop's Layer Style.
Nodes are divided into four groups according to their functions: LayerStyle, 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
- Commit ImageScaleRestore node to work with CropByMask for local upscale and repair works.
- Commit CropByMask and RestoreCropBox nodes. The combination of these two can partially crop and redraw the image before restoring it.
- Commit ColorAdapter node, that can automatically adjust the color tone of the image.
- Commit MaskStroke node, it can generate mask contour strokes.
- Add LayerColor node group, used to adjust image color. it include LUT Apply, Gamma, Brightness & Contrast, RGB, YUV, LAB adn HSV.
- Commit ImageChannelSplit and ImageChannelMerge nodes.
- Commit MaskMotionBlur node.
- Commit SoftLight node.
- Commit ChannelShake node, that is filter, can produce channel dislocation effect similar like Tiktok logo.
- Commit MaskGradient node, can create a gradient in the mask.
- Commit GetColorTone node, can obtain the main color or average color of the image. Commit MaskGrow and MaskEdgeShrink nodes.
- Commit MaskBoxDetect node, which can automatically detect the position through the mask and output it to the composite node. Commit XY to Percent node to convert absolute coordinates to percent coordinates. Commit GaussianBlur node. Commit GetImageSize node.
- Commit ExtendCanvas node.
- Commit ImageBlendAdvance node. This node allows for the synthesis of background images and layers of different sizes, providing a more free synthesis experience. Commit PrintInfo node as a workflow debugging aid.

3 The blend mode include normal, multply, screen, add, subtract, difference, darker and lighter.
4 The RGB color described by hexadecimal RGB format, like '#FA3D86'.
5 The layer_image and layer_mask must be of the same size.
