These workflow templates are intended as multi-purpose templates for use on a wide variety of projects. They can be used with any SDXL checkpoint model.They are intended for use by people that are new to SDXL and ComfyUI.<h3 id="heading-442">List of Templates</h3><ul><li>Simple SDXL Template</li><li>Intermediate SDXL Template<ul><li>ControlNet (Zoe depth)</li></ul></li><li>Advanced SDXL Template<ul><li>ControlNet (4 options)</li><li>A and B versions (see below for more details)</li></ul></li></ul>Additional Simple and Intermediate templates are included, with no Styler node, for users who may be having problems installing the Mile High Styler.<h3 id="heading-1012">Prerequisites</h3><ul><li>ComfyUI installation</li><li>at least 8GB VRAM is recommended</li></ul><h3 id="heading-331">Installation</h3><ul><li>download the Comfyroll SDXL Template Workflows</li><li>download the SDXL models<ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0">SDXL Base 1.0</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-refiner-1.0">SDXL Refiner 1.0</a></li></ul></li><li>download the SDXL VAE encoder<ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sdxl-vae">SDXL VAE</a></li></ul></li><li>update ComyUI</li><li>install or update the following custom nodes<ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/20793/was-node-suite-comfyui">WAS Node Suite</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/87609">Comfyroll Custom Nodes</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/111463">Searge SDXL Nodes</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/119246">SDXL Style Mile (use latest Ali1234Comfy Extravaganza version)</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/Fannovel16/comfy_controlnet_preprocessors">ControlNet Preprocessors by Fannovel16</a><ul><li>needed for preprocessors on the Advanced template</li></ul></li></ul></li><li>ensure you have at least one upscale model installed</li><li>it is recommended to use <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/71980">ComfyUI Manager</a> for installing and updating custom nodes, for downloading upscale models, and for updating ComfyUI</li><li>the MileHighStyler node is only currently only available via CivitAI</li><li>you may get errors if you have old versions of custom nodes or if ComfyUI is on an old version</li><li>if you have problems installing the preprocessors you can still use the template by removing the preprocessor nodes or replacing with other preprocessor nodes</li></ul>Important: Please run updates on the custom nodes before loading new template versions.
