Z-Image Control

The Z-Image-Turbo-Fun-Controlnet-Union model is now supported.

• Adds Pose, Canny, Soft Edge and Depth control layers
• Can be used as an inpaint model when filling selections
  • Use "Generate (Custom)" and uncheck "Seamless" to disable this
• No support for timestep range (start/end) yet, so there is some quality degradation
• See #2188 for downloads and instructions

Qwen Image Layered

Qwen Image Layered is a model that decomposes existing images into transparent layers.

• Use it on an existing flattened image to split it into Krita layers, which can then be edited with traditional tools
• Like other Qwen Image models this is a heavy model and generation times are very slow
• See the Qwen Image Layered section in #2081 on how to download and use this model

Other Changes

• Custom workflows: add text-based number input in addition to sliders (by @Kebolder)
• Custom workflows: allow overwriting existing workflow files when saving a workflow (by @Kebolder)
• Fixed error popup "Upscale model not found" at startup #2209
• Fixed issue where Qwen text encoder was not detected anymore #2200
• Fixed text prompt resize handle not working when negative prompt is disabled #2202
• Fixed wrong style selected when loading a document while not connected to the server yet

Z-Image (experimental)

Z-Image is a new diffusion model which produces convincing photorealistic images out of the box. Its modest size (larger than SDXL but smaller than Flux1), reasonable generation times and open license make it a promising candidate for future extensions.

Only basic features are supproted for now. Check the discussion for how to use and current status.

Queue improvements

• Counter now reflects the queued jobs for the current document
• The drop-down also reveals how many jobs are queued across the Krita plugin (does not include jobs from other ComfyUI clients)
• Will now display a "waiting" icon when there are queued jobs that are waiting for jobs from other documents
• Cancel now only cancels jobs from the current document (previously canceled all jobs, even those from other ComfyUI clients)
• Fixed some issues were the count wasn't updated correctly

Other Changes

• Support Edit models in the upscale workspace #1896
• Fixed LoRA weight not appearing correctly in metadta tooltip #2169
• Fixed crash when closing a document and re-opening it #2185
• Fixed deleting animation results from history
• Added hidden setting to skip image discard confirmation dialog #2141
  • Edit settings.json and add/modify the following property: "confirm_discard_image": false,
• Fixed managed install UI package status for Flux packages #2178
• Make the search strings for Flux VAE slightly more specific (should no longer match "flux2")

Version 1.42.0

Simplified Installation

• Added separate tab with brief information about models to quickly choose a recommended set of models
• Selecting individual models is still possible, but optional now
• Added a separate "Welcome" UI for server mode selection, only shown once after installing the plugin
• Server mode selection now occupies less space in the connection settings
• Added Nova Anime XL model as a more consistent or beginner-friendly alternative to NoobAI V-pred

Other Changes

• Fixed "Image with ID not found in cache" error when queing up multiple jobs #2135
• Avoid re-sending images to the server if they're cached
• Fixed "Refine (Custom)" option being available when there is no selection #2156
• Fixed ComfyUI workflow import for paramter nodes without min/max fields #2162
• Fixed slider labels in custom workflow UI when using a higher display scale #2148
• Fixed "File > Create Copy from Current Image" not working properly with the plugin #2164
• Stop re-trying connection after the server mode has changed

Version 1.41.1

Installer Changes

• Removed pycairo dependency #2134 #2139 #2140
  It was causing installation problems on Linux and macOS systems that were unable to build it.
• Prompt to re-install if a previous upgrade attempt failed (rather than starting the old server backup)

Text Prompts: Wildcards

Wildcards can be used in text to randomly select between various options. For example, a {red|blue} car will generate either a a red car or a blue car everytime you hit Generate. See Wildcards in Prompts for what is supported so far.

What type of 1girl are you? Now you no longer have to decide.

Text Prompts: Reference Layers

You can now embed reference images via the text prompt with <layer:name of a layer>. For latest Qwen Image Edit it allows to refer to layers by name. See Reference Layers in Prompts for more information.

Image Metadata

• Fixed issues where steps / CFG were not stored to saved PNG files #2012
• Changed prompt written to PNG files to be the fully expanded (including style)
• Added info about control layers to tooltip #1996
• Added info about wildcard choices to tooltip
• Changed "Copy Info to Clipboard" to JSON format. It now has a lot of additional information that does not fit into the tooltip.

Other Changes

• New Guide: Edit Models
• Improved performance of image transfer between Krita and ComfyUI #1265
• Added confirmation dialog when discarding images from history
• Disabled batch size for Qwen Nunchaku (it doesn't work yet) #2114
• More robust model detection with progress indicator when connecting #2079 #1796
• Allow the plugin to connect to remote ComfyUI server over Zrok (by @21dh114172)
• Fixed not being able to override architecture for Flux & Qwen in style settings
• Fixed consistency issues in edit mode (strength slider, copy prompt)

Qwen Image (experimental)

Qwen image models are some of the largest open models that can run locally. They offer high precision and great text understanding, but require a lot of GPU power to run. They support a large variety of content (subjects and styles) and understand many languages without external translation.

There are also Qwen edit models for instruction based changes.

See the Discussion for supported features and model downloads. Thanks @Danamir for the PR!

Edit Toggle

You can now link a regular image model with an edit model, to swap between tasks more easily.

First, make sure you have Styles for both your image model (eg. Illustrious) and the edit model (eg. Flux Kontext). Then link them in the Style settings.

Now when you have the image Style active, you can toggle Edit mode. It remembers its own prompt and reference images.

Other Changes

• Added Indonesian translations by @DDAANN222
• Hide alternative Flux models in installer if they're not recommended/supported by hardware #2048
• Replace WaveSpeed cache with ComfyUI's EasyCache (custom node is no longer installed)
• Updated default styles for more recent models and edit model links

• Fixed naming collision when running download_models.py script
• Fixed incorrect sha256 for SD1.5 face Lora

Changes

• Added option (default: off) to save generation metadata to images saved directly from the history (by @sfisher)
• Added option (default: PNG) to select image format when saving images directly from the history (by @nolan778)

• Prompts can now contain comments: text after a # is ignored until the next line break
• The negative prompt text box is now disabled when a model doesn't use negative prompts

• External server: Retry connection a few times at Krita startup when ComfyUI isn't running yet #2004
• External server: No longer demand Clip Vision (ViT-H) model for base models that don't use it (Flux, Illu, Chroma) #2007
