PortraitUtils is a suite of helper nodes for ComfyUI workflows that start with real photographs where resolutions are not standardized like they are in text-to-image generation. Nonstandard or odd resolutions may cause problems with inpainting or other workflow functions, and there may be borders or other dead space in photographs that needs to be trimmed. The suite covers cropping, fit logic, megapixel targeting, colour matching, batch I/O, and comparison QA so you can spend less time wiring utilities and more time iterating.

What You Get

Human-aware framing – turn noisy masks into reliable subject boxes and aspect-friendly crops.
Resolution helpers – snap images to Flux whitelist sizes or match a megapixel budget without manual math.
Colour and tone tools – mimic Photoshop-style auto adjustments across entire branches.
Workflow glue – loaders, savers, filename utilities, and comparison gates that keep larger graphs tidy.

Every node has a matching guide under docs/ with plain-language control explanations, quick examples, and troubleshooting tips.

Install / Update

Copy or clone PortraitUtils into ComfyUI/custom_nodes/.
Restart ComfyUI (hard refresh from the manager works too).
Keep your existing workflows—node settings live inside the graphs you already saved.

Updating is as simple as replacing this folder and restarting.

Node Guide

Image Adjustments & Preparation

AutoAdjustNode + AutoColorConfigNode
Balance levels, tone, and colour. AutoAdjust mirrors Photoshop’s Auto Levels / Auto Tone / Auto Color, while AutoColorConfig shares those toggles across branches. Guide
AutoWBColorMatch
Match white balance to a reference frame using quick presets. Guide
FluxResolutionPrepare
Crop and resize to Flux-friendly dimensions with optional pre-upscale. Guide

Cropping & Framing

AutoCropBorders
Remove letterbox or scanner borders with CPU/GPU options. Guide
StripBottomBanner
Detect and trim dark metadata banners that sit against the bottom frame so your downstream crops only see the photo content. Guide
StripSolidBorders
Peel away large flat-colour frames common in legacy scan/BBS collections, with iterative passes and logo-aware thresholds for multi-step borders. Guide
CropImageByMargins / CropMaskByMargins
Apply matching padding to RGB images and masks. Guide
MQBBoxMin + FitAspectHeadSafe
Derive subject-aware crops with controllable headroom. Guide
StitchByMask
Blend layers with mask-guided falloff for composites. Guide

Prompting & Configuration

MultiPromptNode
Rotate through prompt variants with per-slot weights. Guide
WorkflowConfig
Centralise run parameters, presets, and notes; outputs both sockets and a JSON bundle. Guide
OutpaintConfigNode + OutpaintPaddingComputeNode
Store outpaint preferences and convert them to pixel padding per edge. Guide

I/O & Utilities

LoadImageCombined
Hybrid single/batch loader with auto-advance support. Guide
PairedImageLoader
Pull matched before/after pairs for QA passes. Guide
ComparisonGate
Hold viewers until you have two images-no more half renders. Guide
SimpleImageSaver
Save PNG/JPG with metadata and suffix controls. Guide
FilenameAppendSuffix
Append suffixes without breaking multi-part extensions. Guide

Screenshots under docs/screenshots/ match the ComfyUI widgets so you can confirm you grabbed the right node.

Tips Before You Wire

Shared toggles – drive multiple AutoAdjustNode blocks with one AutoColorConfigNode when branches need the same look.
Debug strings – cropping utilities (MQBBoxMin, FitAspectHeadSafe, FluxResolutionPrepare) emit detailed notes; pipe them into log widgets while tuning.
JSON bundles – WorkflowConfig emits a single string you can unpack in custom scripts to sync settings everywhere.
GPU switches – nodes like AutoCropBorders expose use_gpu; flip them based on the machine you run on.

Terminology Refresh

Bundle – JSON string from WorkflowConfig that carries current settings.
Quantile crop – MQBBoxMin trims mask outliers by percentile; tweak the q_* sliders when masks are noisy.
Area loss – FluxResolutionPrepare reports how much of the working image gets trimmed to hit a Flux aspect.
