# ComfyUI-ReferenceChain
|
|
|
|
A ComfyUI custom node that simplifies working with edit models (like Flux-2-klein) that accept multiple reference images. Instead of chaining multiple "Reference Latent" nodes together, this node lets you add any number of images through a single, easy-to-use interface.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Multiple image input** - Add as many reference images as you need through a visual list interface
|
|
- **Drag and drop** - Drop images directly onto the node
|
|
- **Built-in scaling** - Automatically scales images to target megapixels before encoding
|
|
- **API-friendly** - Includes a Base64 variant for programmatic usage
|
|
- **Native styling** - Matches ComfyUI's look and feel
|
|
|
|
## Nodes
|
|
|
|
### Reference Chain Conditioning
|
|
|
|
The main node for interactive use. Add images through the UI, and they'll be automatically processed and chained into a single conditioning output.
|
|
|
|
**Inputs:**
|
|
- `conditioning` - Input conditioning to append reference latents to
|
|
- `vae` - VAE model for encoding images to latents
|
|
- `upscale_method` - Scaling algorithm (nearest-exact, bilinear, area, bicubic, lanczos)
|
|
- `scale_megapixels` - Target size for images before encoding (default: 1.0 MP)
|
|
|
|
**Outputs:**
|
|
- `conditioning` - Modified conditioning with all reference latents
|
|
- `first_image_scaled` - The first image after scaling (useful for preview)
|
|
|
|
### Reference Chain Conditioning (Base64)
|
|
|
|
Same functionality but accepts base64-encoded images. Ideal for API workflows.
|
|
|
|
**Input format:**
|
|
```json
|
|
["data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgo...", "iVBORw0KGgo..."]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or a single base64 string without JSON array wrapper.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Via ComfyUI Manager
|
|
|
|
Search for "ReferenceChain" in the ComfyUI Manager and click Install.
|
|
|
|
### Manual Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
|
|
git clone https://github.com/remingtonspaz/ComfyUI-ReferenceChain.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Restart ComfyUI after installation.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
1. Add the **Reference Chain Conditioning** node to your workflow
|
|
2. Connect your conditioning and VAE inputs
|
|
3. Click "choose file to upload" or drag images onto the node
|
|
4. Connect the output conditioning to your sampler
|
|
|
|
The node processes images in order, scaling each to the target megapixels, encoding through the VAE, and appending to the conditioning - equivalent to manually chaining multiple Reference Latent nodes.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
No additional dependencies - uses only libraries already included with ComfyUI (numpy, torch, Pillow).
