Main updated to 1.4

[chrisgoringe]

I'll continue to work on dev as 1.4.1 (doing things from https://github.com/chrisgoringe/cg-controller/milestone/32 and https://github.com/chrisgoringe/cg-controller/milestones/Small%20enhancements)

[LukeG89]

At this point I think it's time to update this description:

And I would add it to the new custom node list again

[chrisgoringe]

So I'd like to plug this a bit on reddit - does anyone have a nice screenshot of a relatively complex controller that they'd like to offer - ideally a screenshot of the whole workflow, and then one of what it looks like with controllers.

[LukeG89]

@JorgeR81 he's talking to you 😜

[JorgeR81]

Yeah, OK. I will make a nice one.

Give me until tomorrow, to try a few things. I will find a better placement for the Prompts.

It won't have an IPAdapter / FaceID, for now, because I'm waiting to try the Image Preview with batch images, to find the best layout.

[chrisgoringe]

thanks :). Then I'll give it a push on /r/comfyui and /r/stablediffusion - that's where I got most interest in UE!

Here are some images.
You could show several images, with my captions ( WIP )

---

Here's the workflow.
It has ControNet, Image2Image, Refiner ( with latent upscaler ), FaceDetailer and Ultimate Upscale.
You can also see some bypassed loras.
It also has some Use Everywhere nodes.

---

The Rgthree switch allows to enable/disable Image2Image, with the group bypass button, in the Controller's header.
The first input that's not muted/bypassed passes through.

---

I used the toggle button in the Topbar to show all Controllers. 
I also colapsed the large preview Controller, so that I can still view the workflow.
All sampler groups are bypassed, except the main KSampler group.
The bypass buttons in the Controllers header's have the purple bypass color.

---

Generating image ( Ultimate Upscale stage ).
The live preview it's shown in both in the Sampler and in the Preview Image nodes.

---

The image is done

---

I changed the controllers layout, to display the Model and Loras, instead of Face Detailer's mask preview.
All loras are bypassed. The last one is colapsed.
The bypass button, in each Lora Loader's header, has the purple "bypass" color.

---

Generating again.
The live preview can be seen the first KSampler, and also in the Final Preview Image node.

---

Here I collapsed some Controllers to see the workflow.
With more Controllers collapsed, I have more space to interact with the node's graph.
I also bypassed some node groups with the Controller.

---

Another image is done. This time only the first Sampler was used.
I can still see the previous image in the Samplers that were bypassed.

[LukeG89]

My only suggestion is to add some colors to the nodes, to better show the feature and also give a touch of color to the images. Other than that, it looks good to me!

[JorgeR81]

My only suggestion is to add some colors to the nodes,

I wanted to make the Prompt nodes and the group colors stand out.
There is so much going on, that I don't want to make things more visually complex.

[LukeG89]

I don't want to make things more visually complex.

If you color code some nodes, the complexity of the controller will be easier to understand, because you can recognize the types of nodes at a glance (e.g., all Apply ControlNet have the same color)

[JorgeR81]

We could also mention that we can hide widgets by pugging in Primitives.
But in the future, the Primitives, will not be necessary.

[JorgeR81]

I've made a shorter set of images. These may be easier to understand.
ControtNets are now color coded, as suggested.

---

Workflow. It has ControNet, Image2Image, Refiner ( with latent upscaler ), FaceDetailer and Ultimate Upscale.
The "ControNet" group has 2 ControlNets, has Depth and Canny Preprocessors.
You can also see some bypassed loras.
It also has some Use Everywhere nodes, and rgthree switches.

---

Controller visible. I used the toggle button in the top bar, next to the Manager button.
Some of Controller windows are collapsed, so we can interact with the workflow.

---

I expanded all Controller windows
If we want we can cover the whole graph canvas.

---

Generating an image.
The live preview is shown both in the Sampler an the Image nodes.
You can also see the "Model" group, next to the images, with all the bypassed loras.
We can add group "tabs / buttons" to each Controller window, we can change the view, even while generating.
We can see the Lora Loaders are darker and the bypass button, in each node's header has the "purple bypass color".

---

First stage is almost done.

---

Ultimate Upscale stage. We also have the live preview in the large image node. 
We can also see the FaceDetailer mask, from the previous stage.

---

The image generation complete.
I changed the Image Preview node, for the face mask, back to a darker grey

[LukeG89]

You don't really like colors 😆

[JorgeR81]

I only started using group colors now :)

Here is one with some more colors !
The Sampler nodes have the same color as the group.

[JorgeR81]

This was WIP, but I think I looks even better.
And we can show just 2 images.

It uses Primitives to hide widgets, on FaceDetailer and UltimateUpscale nodes.

It also has IPAdapter FaceID + InstantID + 5 Image bach.
Each image from the batch has it's own Controller !
And we can exclude each image from the batch, bypassing the group, in each Controller.

And this is just the first Sampler !
All other stages are bypassed.

---

---

EDIT: for the Controller, use the image bellow.

[JorgeR81]

@chrisgoringe, use this other screenshot instead !

It shows multiple group buttons in the large preview area.

---

[JorgeR81]

@chrisgoringe, Same workflow, but better final image.

Just tidied up the workflow with Trung0246 nodes.
