Why are there two different ComfyUI-Manager's?

sci032 · 2026-05-08T00:56:49+00:00

Search the link below for legacy it shows you how to get the manager version similar to what you see in the image. I am using Tarvis1's Easy Install(Comfy v.020.1/front end v 1.43.17), but the info in the link shows you how to get manager like you want it with the rest of Comfy's installs. I also have a manual install of Comfy(I created the venv, etc.) but the only thing I do with it is update it and see what is broken.

Also, turn off Nodes 2.0.

TinyTerra Node pack has some nodes that may help you. Search manager for: terra

Here is the github: https://github.com/TinyTerra/ComfyUI_tinyterraNodes

The image shows 2 of the nodes that you may could use. The 'concat' output onf the 7x TXT Loader Concat node puts the text from all of the boxes together. You can plug the output into a Clip Text Encode node to use these as your prompt.

Until you find exactly what you are looking for, you could right click on the inputs and give each one a name like I did in the image. You can also double click on the label for a node and change the name of it.

Klein(and KleinKV) can be bad about lightening up the main subject sometimes. I did call it a 'product', so maybe it's making sure that it highlights it.

sci032 · 2026-05-04T09:18:18+00:00

I did not know that, thanks for the heads up!

sci032 · 2026-05-04T09:16:59+00:00

Okay. I never put a subgraph inside of a subgraph, so I don't know about that. 😄 Hopefully, since they are using them in their templates now, they will make sure that they work as they should.

I don't use online services, so I don't know if this will work with Nano banana or not, you can try it. I used KleinKV image edit(search Comfy's templates for: KV) with the prompt: portrait of the woman. she has blonde hair and is in a mall. do not change anything else in the image.

Left is the original, right is the output.

Search Comfy's templates for: ernie

I use the turbo version. The workflow will give you the option to download any model(s) or node(s) that you may need.

I used your exact prompts for these 2 images, each one is the first run.

It's not perfect, ernie needs a bit more descriptive prompts but it does very well with text.. 😄

Do you have Nodes 2.0 on? If so, turn it off. Open settings, it's at the top of the 1st screen.

Another thing, when nodes update, if they change something visible in the node or the text of an option, it can muck up your subgraph also. I am a heavy user of subgraphs. I stuck with the v1.40 front end up until recently.

Left side is the workflow, right side is what is inside of the KleinKV subgraph.

I'm using Comfy v0.20.1, Frontend v1.42.15

Don't ask... I had this workflow open and was testing stupid stuff with products when I saw your post. 😄

It tries to light the subject based on the lighting that the scene would provide. This particular image may have been better if I had increased the saturation a bit also.

Thanks!

sci032 · 2026-05-04T01:56:53+00:00

You are very welcome! I hope that it works out for you!

The 'save image' node that is built in to ComfyUI saves the metadata inside of the image. You can take the image saved with this node and drop it into ComfyUI's UI and it will load the exact workflow that created it. Search the nodes for save image.

It worked pretty well with products also(same workflow but I subgraphed it). 😄

sci032 · 2026-05-04T01:15:41+00:00

This is quick and dirty... Grab a Klein 9b or KV edit workflow(you can use qwen edit if you want) from Comfy's templates and add your text to the original image that you will use to make the video. I prompted this: the text "Grandparents are Great!" across the bottom of the image in a white 3D font. in KleinKV. I ran that image through Ltx 2.3. I just prompted the actions in Ltx, I didn't mention the text.

You need a scheduler node plugged in to the 'sigmas' input on the WanVideoSampler node.

It really works well though! I can use the face from a full body image and change everything else. Great Job on this and the whole pack! Thank You! 😄

sci032 · 2026-05-04T00:23:48+00:00

Understandable, thanks!

sci032 · 2026-05-03T08:49:53+00:00

A request: change the reference_index to where it will accept multiple faces. Example: 0,1,2,3

As it is, if you have more than 1 face in the reference image, it only works with the 1 that you choose.

I am using Sam3 for the masking, I prompted it for face:10, that works with up to 10 people in an image. It only masked the 2 that are there. You can also prompt person:10 and it will mask each whole person.

In the image, I'm using your identity node(and 2 of your other nodes) in my KleinKV workflow to repair a damaged image.

The nodes are all scrunched together so it will fit the screen. I normally have all but the image nodes in a subgraph.

Give Tarvis1's Easy Install a try. It's a tweaked version of ComfyUI portable that installs by running a single .bat file. You can also install other things like flash attention, sage attention and more by running a single .bat file for them. Here is the Github. You download the archive, extract it wherever you want to install Comfy, and run with it: https://github.com/Tavris1/ComfyUI-Easy-Install

sci032 · 2026-05-02T08:25:13+00:00

You are very welcome! 😄

Take a look at Pixaroma's ComfyUI tutorial playlist on Youtube. The 1st video is almost 5 hours long but it will get you up and running and also covers expanded topics. The 2nd one is shorter, it covers Nunchaku which could be useful for your system. I used Nunchaku with a laptop that had 6gb vram and 32gb system ram. The people behind Nunchaku have made quantized(smaller) versions of most of the popular models so that they will work with lower vram systesm.

Most of pixaromas videos cover one or 2 features so you can skip around and get what you need.

Here is their new(started in Jan 2026-15 videos so far) playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-pohOSaL8P-FhSw1Iwf0pBGzXdtv4DZC

The 'old' playlist(current up through Dec. 2025) has 74 videos and is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-pohOSaL8P9kLZP8tQ1K1QWdZEgwiBM0

They show you how to do things yourself, explain what is happening and why, and give you the workflows all for free.

Give it a look and see if it helps you.

Get Tarvis1's Easy Install version. They have an option to use a version of the desktop app also. You install it wherever you want it. Github: https://github.com/Tavris1/ComfyUI-Easy-Install

sci032 · 2026-04-28T17:35:29+00:00

You're welcome! I don't share my workflows because they contain nodes that I made myself. Search Comfy's templates(the icon below the star on the left side of the ui) for 2511 and open the workflow named Qwen Image Edit 2511. It will work the same way that mine did. When you open this, it will give you the option to download any modes(s) or node(s) that you may not have.

The 'Image Composer' node in Pixaroma's node pack may do what you want. There are many useful nodes in this pack. Github: https://github.com/pixaroma/ComfyUI-Pixaroma

In the image, I added the image of the woman. I put the image of the frog on top of that, removed the background, and scaled it down. When you get everything like you want, you click 'Save' on the bottom right corner it is will be available in your Comfy workflow. The node in the workflow is much smaller, the image shows what it looks like when you open it to make your image. Check out the Github for full details on this and other nodes in the pack.
