Experiment Matrix
| Variant | Input to color model | Expected benefit | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | raw panel crop | fastest baseline | blue rough may leak into output |
| B | clean line crop | less blue noise | may remove useful semantic detail |
| C | clean line + autoclose | better fill stability | gap closure may create false lines |
| D | clean line + autoclose + region JSON | easier post-correction | needs downstream region-aware tooling |
Current local comparison:
- Panel Colorization Comparison
- On local Apple Silicon,
clean_line/closed_linehelps remove blue rough artifacts before img2img. - The available SD1.5 ControlNet workflow is too generative for faithful panel preservation.
- The installed fp8 Qwen Image Edit model should be retried on CUDA because MPS does not support the required float8 path.
Adoption Gate
Use these tools as a default only if they improve at least one measurable outcome:
- fewer blue artifacts in final output,
- fewer color leaks across line boundaries,
- better character/costume color consistency after correction,
- easier manual review because overlays/JSON explain preprocessing choices.
