JoyAI Image Edit Plus: ComfyUI setup and editing tests

This tutorial covers JoyAI Image Edit Plus setup in ComfyUI and tests its editing controls. The presenter downloads INT8 model and text encoder files, notes BF16 alternatives, and explains where to place the files and VAE. ComfyUI needs an update if the Joy Image option is missing.

The prompt node accepts up to six reference images, numbered from zero. Based on their tests, the presenter recommends preparing the main image at 1024 × 1024. A KJ Nodes resize node adds black padding; a latent noise mask protects the padded area, and a crop removes it afterward. The demonstrated settings use 20 steps, CFG 4 and denoise 1.0.

Tests combine clothing references, add furniture, remove people and replace a background. Other prompts change style, time, season and facial expression, replace an animal, rotate a chair and adjust camera viewpoints. Text editing includes a replacement and a magazine cover prompt. The presenter advises enclosing text changes in double quotes.

The presenter reports hand defects, changes to a bag, imperfect relighting, shifted scene elements and a squished car. The magazine cover also has small text issues and merged legs. They report about ten minutes for the multi-reference example and three minutes for a separate single-image edit. These are example timings, not general benchmarks. Outpainting needs further testing.
