🔍 Pixel-Anchored Remaster vs. Hires Fix: The Ultimate Comparison Canvas
Ever wondered exactly how your upscaling methods stack up side-by-side? This is a clean, organized comparison tool designed to test three distinct upscaling philosophies simultaneously from a single master seed.
Instead of running separate generations and guessing which one looks better, this workflow generates your base image once and instantly branches out to give you a definitive visual shootout.
🎛️ The 3-Way Shootout Branches:
1. Raw Pixel 2x: A baseline upscale utilizing the standard model loader 2xAoMR_mosr.pth) to show the raw, un-denoised upscaled foundation.
2. Standard Hires Fix: The classic latent-space enhancement method utilizing VAE Encode/Decode passes to introduce fresh detail.
3. Pixel-Anchored Remaster: An advanced approach that anchors downscaling/area-mapping metrics before the final latent pass to preserve prompt fidelity while significantly modernizing details.
🌟 Key Features:
* Fully Bundled & Grouped: Clean bounding boxes ("Settings", "Original Image", "Hires Fix", etc.) make the board incredibly easy to navigate.
* Shared Seed Link: A single master Seed Primitive controls both generation KSamplers so your comparisons remain perfectly synchronized.
* Massive Preview Fields: Pre-arranged, massive preview blocks make it easy to inspect fine details (like eyes, textures, and lineart) right inside ComfyUI without needing an external image viewer.
🛠️ Requirements & Notes:
Built on *ComfyUI Core** nodes for maximum compatibility.
Uses native *SDXL** parameters (1024x1024 base resolution).
* Requires an upscale model loader (configured for 2xAoMR_mosr by default, but swappable with your favorite ESRGAN/DAT model).
