Introduction
Hi everyone! I wanted a simple IMG2IMG workflow that saves Metadata and uses LoRA Manager. I also wanted one that could handle resizing images because I hate fiddling with resolutions. I found an old workflow by Postpos and incorporated some genius Comfy spaghetti from Legendaer to get all the strings to arrange themselves into both the metadata and the conditioning ... and this simple workflow is the result. Presented as-is, if it doesn't work let me know but I might not be able to help you. This workflow should take any SDXL base checkpoint, including Pony and Illustrious. Seems to have no problem going from Anime to Realism and back. Remember to set your Denoise setting (~.5 for stronger image adherence, ~.7 for more creativity)

I realize the number of nodes is increasing as the version number increases. This is still a fairly basic workflow and should not be overwhelming, and still remains very much like previous versions.
New with Version 3.0
I wanted to keep the workflow simple and at the same time, provide a little more detailer power. This workflow gives us previews of the SEGS, rather than the complexity of the SEGS filtering you simply get a preview image and can change the prompts based on the image. The colors of the preview/prompts alternate so you don't get mixed up. I added a hands detailer because we know we're gonna need it with AI. One new custom node, Everywhere, for the Anything Everywhere node.
I added a LoRA slot specifically for each detailer that will hopefully really bring things into focus. However this simple node is inserted without a connection to your existing Lora stack. If this is interfering with your generation, get rid of it or connect the Model output of the LoRA loader to the input of this node, depending on what you hope to accomplish.
New with Version 3.1
SEGS Detailer arrays upgraded to Module 1.1 (same as my Text2Img workflow): Replaced Image Previews with Image Comparer nodes.
New with Version 3.4
Color Matching after Upscaler, to counteract the tendency of upscalers to cause greening or yellowing slightly. Works great, no need to mess with it.
CFG Controls - CFG Skimming and Dynamic Thresholding, great nodes for allowing more flexibility in your CFG setting. Generally improves the overall output.
New With Version 4.0
Changed the layout somewhat, creating an upper left-to-right workflow area and putting the utilities below.
Implemented sliders and put most of the most important controls up front in the Input section. You may still want to tweak the detailer prompts etc in those areas.
New With Version 5.0
Bringing my workflows up to speed and into alignment so that they work and handle similarly, many small changes were made to ensure the two workflows handle as a pair. Banners were added for the detailers and upscaler to improve user orientation, and the LoRA blockers now work with toggles instead of spaghetti strings. The Spaghetti zone was moved out of the left-right flow, and the subgraph for resizing images was repackaged. The checkpoint loader now loads directly, allowing you to download a checkpoint and slap it into the native ComfyUI node without rebooting your server.
General:
Using Img2Img is fun and now with THIS workflow, you have complete control over what faces look like what. You may not be able to get the face detailer to work on all furries but you can still get a lot done with this workflow. Due to the way that the face detailer works, it really only makes sense to use it for I2I workflows. I2I approaches can obliterate the vanishing point effect that Illustrious can create. It can give you a predictable structure and framework and the results .. well, you might just be surprised!
Whereas before, you were at the mercy of randomness and checkpoint biases, with this detailer you can get ethnicity and expression right on the first shot. Details in the workflow!
