    A simple but powerful ComfyUI workflow that turns any 2D illustration, anime frame, comic panel or drawing into a realistic photo.
    It uses Florence 2 to automatically caption the input image and convert it into a clean prompt, then generates a photoreal result with Flux 1 Dev + Flux Redux, a custom LoRA, Control Net for a better fidelity poses, Face Detailer for higher fidelity faces, and a light upscale with Ultimate SD Upscaler for extra sharpness.

    Just drop your 2D image in, hit generate, and get a realistic version in a few steps.

    This workflow includes a LoRA that is not created by me.
    All credits for this LoRA belong to its original author:

    I'm actually working on a v2 where no LoRA will be required at all.

    Can you guide on how to actually see the connections between these floating nodes i.e, setnode andgetnode. is there a simpleway to see it?

    There isn't a simple way to see the connections with easy set and get nodes. The only way is check the names. model to model, clip to clip etc...

    Thank you. I hope people stop using it then. In complex workflows, it makes it very hard to understand the connections and modify or tailor some to individual needs

    @Umair11 I use it because it really bothers me to see cables everywhere, and I need to keep everything organized. But I understand that at first it might seem complicated for some.

    "It uses Florence 2 to automatically caption the input image and convert it into a clean prompt" ... So it's not converting the actual image from anime to real just making a new image with the same visuals :/
