description: Run a multi-step generation recipe (portrait, hires-fix, style-transfer, etc.)

/comfy-recipe — Multi-Step Generation Recipes

The user wants to run a predefined multi-step image generation pipeline. Each recipe chains several workflows together, passing the output of one step as input to the next.

Instructions

1. **Parse the arguments.** The argument is: $ARGUMENTS

If no argument was provided, list the available recipes and ask the user to choose one.

Extract:

• **Recipe name**: the first word (e.g., `portrait`, `hires-fix`, `product-shot`, `style-transfer`)
• **Prompt**: everything after the recipe name

2. **Available recipes:**

• `portrait`: generate a portrait and upscale it
• `product-shot`: generate a product image with clean background
• `hires-fix`: generate at low resolution, then upscale with img2img for more detail
• `style-transfer`: apply a style prompt to an existing image via img2img
• `morph`: generate two frames and create a smooth morph video between them

3. **Check available models.** Call `list_local_models` with `model_type: "checkpoints"` to find a checkpoint. Also check `model_type: "upscale_models"` for upscale recipes. If models are missing, download appropriate ones before proceeding.

4. **Execute the recipe.** For each step, create the workflow, run it, and chain the output.

Portrait Recipe

• **Step 1: Generate.** `create_workflow` with `txt2img`, prompt from user, 1024x1024, 25 steps, cfg 7
• **Step 2: Upscale.** `create_workflow` with `upscale`, using the output image from Step 1, 2x upscale
• Final output: 2048x2048 upscaled portrait

Product-Shot Recipe

• **Step 1: Generate.** `create_workflow` with `txt2img`, prompt from user (append "product photography, clean white background, studio lighting" to the prompt), 1024x1024, 25 steps, cfg 7
• **Step 2: Remove background.** If a background removal node is available, create a workflow to remove the background. Otherwise, skip this step and note it for the user.
• Final output: product image (with or without background removal)

Hires-Fix Recipe

• **Step 1: Low-res generation.** `create_workflow` with `txt2img`, prompt from user, 512x768 (or 768x512 for landscape), 20 steps, cfg 7
• **Step 2: Upscale with img2img.** `create_workflow` with `img2img`, using Step 1 output, target 1024x1536 (or 1536x1024), denoise 0.4-0.5, same prompt, 20 steps
• Final output: high-resolution image with more detail than direct high-res generation

Style-Transfer Recipe

• **Step 1: Load source image.** Ask the user for a source image path. Use `upload_image (action:"image")` to make it available.
• **Step 2: img2img with style.** `create_workflow` with `img2img`, source image from Step 1, style prompt from user, denoise 0.5-0.7 (higher = more stylized, lower = more faithful to original), 25 steps
• Final output: source image with the requested style applied

Morph Recipe

• This recipe generates two frames and creates a smooth morph video transitioning between them using WAN 2.2 First-Last-Frame with dual Hi-Lo architecture.
• **Requires the `wan-flf-video` and `qwen-image-edit` skills.** Load them before executing.

**Frame preparation, anchor frame strategy:**

• Identify which frame is the "anchor", meaning the one with the more complex composition (e.g., a person standing vs. a small animal). Generate the anchor first, then use Qwen Edit to create the second frame from it. This preserves proportions and scene consistency.
• If the user provides two existing images, skip generation and go straight to Step 3.

• **Step 1: Generate anchor frame.** Use Z-Image Turbo (or user's preferred model) to generate the primary frame. Use portrait orientation (832x1472) for standing subjects, landscape (1664x928) for wide scenes. Clear VRAM after.
• **Step 2: Edit to create second frame.** Upload the anchor frame with `upload_image (action:"image")`. Use Qwen Image Edit (lightning 4-step) to transform it into the second frame. Prompt should describe the desired change while specifying relative size/position (e.g., "Replace the woman with a small cat sitting at the bottom of the image"). Clear VRAM after.
• **Step 3: Generate morph video.** Upload both frames with `upload_image (action:"image")`. Build the WAN 2.2 dual Hi-Lo FLF workflow per the `wan-flf-video` skill:
• Two UNETs (Remix NSFW Hi+Lo with built-in lightning, or GGUF Q8 with lightning LoRAs)
• `ModelSamplingSD3` shift=5 on both
• `ImageResizeKJv2` to 480x720 (portrait) or 832x480 (landscape)
• `WanFirstLastFrameToVideo` → dual `KSamplerAdvanced` (Hi: steps 0→2, Lo: steps 2→4, uni_pc/beta)
• Optional: Apply morph LoRA (`wan2.2_i2v_magical_morph_{highnoise,lownoise}.safetensors`) to Hi/Lo Common stacks at strength 0.7-1.0 for smooth morphing instead of dissolve
• `VHS_VideoCombine` at 16fps, h264-mp4
• **Step 4 (optional): Upscale.** Use `VRAM_Debug` to free VRAM, then `SeedVR2VideoUpscaler` to upscale to 1080p.

**Prompt tips for morph videos:**

• Describe the motion/transformation, not just start and end states
• **AVOID** "magical", "enchanted", "mystical"; they cause literal sparkle effects
• **USE** clean motion language: "smoothly transforms", "seamlessly reshapes", "gradually morphs"
• Include scale cues when subjects differ in size: "grows into", "expands upward"
• Always include a full negative prompt (see `wan-flf-video` skill)

**Timing reference** (RTX 4090): Z-Image ~35s → Qwen Edit ~78s → WAN FLF 81 frames ~139s = ~4 minutes total

5. **Show progress.** After each step completes:

• Report what was done and whether it succeeded
• Show the intermediate image if available
• Proceed to the next step

6. **Present the final result.** Show the final output image and a summary of all steps taken, inc
