About this version

New layout, the same as my other workflows: your image and request on the left, the models beside the steps, before and after on the right. Nodes have their real names.
A LoRA Loader is now the last node in Models, empty. It changes nothing until you add a row. My Consistency LoRA keeps restyles from moving the picture: add it there at strength 1.
The Reference cache node is gone. On its default settings it did nothing, so the picture is the same without it (I compared the pixels). The diffusion model now goes through the LoRA Loader straight to the sampler.
Image Resize is replaced by ComfyUI's own Scale Image to Total Pixels, with the same 1 megapixel, 32-pixel steps and lanczos. ComfyUI counts a megapixel as 1024 × 1024, so the sample now comes out at 768 × 1376 instead of 736 × 1344.
The image loader starts empty, so nothing shows as missing when you open the file. Load your own image.
The note is three steps and four short tips.
Transparent PNGs: the see-through parts are filled with gray before the edit. Before, they came back solid black with a light fringe around the hair.
Same models, sampler settings, seed and starting instruction as v1.0.
Needs AusBoss nodes 2.0.2 or newer.

Say what to change in plain words, and Qwen Image 2.1 edits your picture. A slider shows the picture before and after.

Want it with core nodes only? Pick the second file in the download list, the one ending in 3295395 (its slider shows in Nodes 2.0). This one doesn't do anything special with my nodes, so it won't hurt my feelings :)

I put FLUX 3 Klein and Qwen Image 2.1 up against Nano Banana and ChatGPT on the same edits: the video on YouTube.

How to use it

Load your image.
Say the change in plain words, like "make it snow" or "change the top to a red knit sweater".
Run.

Don't want custom nodes? The second file in the download list (ending in 3295395) is a core nodes only version: the same edit with only ComfyUI's own nodes, and the Consistency LoRA ready to switch on. Its before and after slider shows in Nodes 2.0.

What you need

ComfyUI 0.37.0 or newer.
AusBoss nodes 2.0.2 or newer. In ComfyUI-Manager, search "AusBoss". Already have them? Update first.
The Qwen Image 2.1 models:
- qwen_image_2.1_int8_convrot.safetensors → models/diffusion_models · 7.26 GB
- qwen3vl_8b_int8_convrot.safetensors → models/text_encoders · 9.35 GB
- qwen_image_2.1_vae_bf16.safetensors → models/vae · 676 MB

Tips

A style change moves the picture. A painting or anime look can come back zoomed in or shifted, so the slider won't line up. Over 36 restyles I tested, the worst corner typically moved about 24 px. Snow and new clothes stayed within about 10 px.
A LoRA keeps restyles in place. My Consistency LoRA brought that 24 px down to 1.6 px in the same tests. Add it in the LoRA Loader at strength 1. Tested at about 1 megapixel.
Keep the look on a restyle. A painting or anime version can come back in colour or brighter. Say so if you want it kept, like "keep it black and white" or "keep it at night".
Removing a person? Say what they're holding goes too. Otherwise a cup or a phone can stay behind, floating where their hand was.
Raise megapixels for a bigger result. Working image scales your picture to about 1 megapixel first, so a big photo comes back smaller. At 2, my test came out 1088 × 1952 in twice the time.
Don't like the result? Try another seed. Press New seed on the Seed node.
Leave CFG at 1. The negative prompt does nothing at that setting.
About 6 to 12 seconds a run on an RTX 5090. Smaller cards should run slower rather than fail, but I haven't tried one.
