This is a repost of my workflow on another platform. Please be aware that I am not very active here.

DISCLAIMER: Please be aware my workflows are not a one-size-fits-all solution for all comfyUI users. They were designed for my personal use, but I was asked to share it.

Updating comfyui, installing custom nodes, etc., can break your comfy install. Do these at your own risk. I am not responsible for your install breaking.

What does this workflow do?

For the most part it:

• Allows you to use as many LoRAs as you want (theoretically)
• Upscaling via USDU
• Detailing for faces, etc.
• Color/contrast adjustment
• Save image with full metadata that civitai can read

I feel like this goes without saying, but you will need to adjust the settings to fit your preferences

Why does the image become washed out after the initial image is generated?

You model/checkpoint probably does not have a baked-in VAE. Toggle on the Load VAE group and make sure to select your VAE model. Usually, this is sdxl_vae and should be in your models/vae folder.

The Load VAE is in its own group and is enabled by default. Bypassing will switch to the baked-in VAE. If your model does not have a baked-in VAE, the images will be washed out after the initial image generation.

The reason why you don't see the effect until after is because the VAE is not used until after that point.

Upscale Model:

You should be able to use whatever upscale model you like best, but I know some of them have issues with USDU. So if your images look normal initially but you start seeing some craziness like weird color changes after USDU, it might be your upscale model. Try a different one and compare.

FaceDetailer Models:

If I recall, Impact Pack includes the needed models to get you started, but if you want something else or it does not include them, you can find more by using ComfyUI Manager's "Model Manager" option. The two types of models needed will be "Ultralytics" and "sam".

VAE Model:

I usually use the normal SDXL VAE or whatever is baked into the checkpoint models.

Will I add <insert random feature here> to the workflow?

• Probably not, because chances are I either won't ever use it OR I have tried it and hated it.
• Chances are if you are asking me this, you have worked on your own workflows or have used other workflows.
• If there's something you like from another workflow or there is something you like from mine, try copy/pasting whatever it is into the workflow you prefer and experiment. It's a great way to learn.

24 Sep 2025:

Added Impact Wildcard Processor

• this can be used to add wildcards to your prompt easily
• add your wildcard files to the custom nodes/impact pack/wildcards folder before starting comfyui to make use of them
• this is bypassed by default

Added Concat Conditioning again

• This is meant for adding "flavor" to your prompt and is a built-in Comfy Core function
• this is bypassed by default

Added ClipTokenCounter again

• this requires the ppm custom node pack and is easily found in ComfyUI-Manager
• if you do not want to use this, you can easily delete it without issue
