** 09/09/2023 - Changed the CR Apply MultiControlNet node to align with the Apply ControlNet (Advanced) node. The node pack will need updating for this change. Also fixed problem where the SDXL Aspect Ratio node errors when the template is first opened.**This workflow template is intended as a multi-purpose templates for use on a wide variety of projects. It can be used with any SDXL checkpoint model.The template is intended for use by advanced users.
