Welcome to the world of post-processing effects! Today, we’ll guide you through using ComfyUI ProPost, a set of custom nodes designed to make AI-generated imagery more natural and visually appealing. With just five nodes available for now, we are excited about the potential to expand this toolkit over time.
Installation Guide
Installing ComfyUI ProPost can be done in two easy ways – through the ComfyUI Manager or manually. Let’s explore both methods!
Using ComfyUI Manager
- Open your ComfyUI Manager.
- Search for “propost”.
- Click on install to add the package.
Manual Installation
- Navigate to the
ComfyUI/custom_nodesfolder. - Run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/digitaljohn/comfyui-propost.git - Then, install required packages using:
pip install -r requirements.txt - Finally, restart ComfyUI.
Overview of Nodes
ComfyUI ProPost comes with a range of creative nodes. Let’s dive deeper into them using an analogy.
Imagine you are a painter, and each node represents a unique brush you can use to enhance your canvas. By combining these brushes (nodes), you can transform a simple image into a masterpiece. Here they are:
1. Film Grain
This node adds a film grain effect. Use it to create different looks with adjustable settings like grain type and saturation.
2. Vignette
The vignette effect darkens the edges of the image, guiding the viewer’s focus to the center. Adjust the intensity to get just the right feel.
3. Radial Blur
Picture a spotlight focusing on a subject while everything else fades away. This node blurs the edges with customizable strength and steps.
4. Depth Map Blur
This is akin to having a camera that blurs out the background while keeping your subject sharp. Utilize this with existing Depth Map nodes.
5. Apply LUT
Imagine overlaying a beautiful filter on your photo. This node allows you to apply a 3D LUT for advanced color grading.
Combining Effects
The magic happens when you combine these nodes. It’s like mixing different paint colors to find the perfect shade. Below is an example of all the effects combined.

- Ensure that you have the latest version of ComfyUI.
- Double-check that all paths and commands are correctly entered.
- Restart the application if the nodes do not appear.
- Check for updates or patches that may resolve compatibility issues.
