Alright, as the title states, i wont get into the settings on comfy, as there isnt a FU*KING setting i havent tried.
Basically on forge, i use eyes_paired model. (amongst others).
Its 1024x1024wxh for guides, 0.35 denoise, 30 steps, same cfg/scheduler/sampler/steps/denoise on comfy. Slightly adjusted the dilation and feathering for comfy.
At those same settings comfy simply fks up the image more than it fixes it. The more i increase crop factor the worse more the image stays coherent, but the detailing is crap. The lesser it is, the more it targets the area, but the inpaint even at low denoise simply tries to make the whole image in the eye (shit persists even at like 0.2 denoise). Whereas forge its like it knows its looking at fkin eyes. Both are using main prompt for the detailer and no, i wont be populating the prompt field with what im actually trying to detail, since i make a lot of images with various expressions so i cant sit there and just change the prompt field accordingly per gen. And the fact that i dont get visible seams on forge unlike comfy, even with feathering turned up.
Im using an illustrious sdxl model. Its been bugging me for weeks, and no i wont share the workflow since theres a lot of custom nodes. What you need to know is that the hrfixed iamge>goes to resize (helps detailer work with more pixels) >goes to detailer>output.
Its incedible how many bandaid bs i have to go through to get a remotely close look quality-wise compared to forge.
Does anyone have an idea?
