1. Workflow Overview
This workflow combines SDXL inpainting with IPAdapter-based style fusion. Key features:
Repaints masked areas of an input image.
Transfers style from a reference image via IPAdapter.
Uses Fooocus's inpainting model for detail coherence.
2. Core Models
SDXL (
万享XL_超写实摄影V8.4): Main text-to-image model.IPAdapter (
ip-adapter-plus_sdxl_vit-h): Injects reference image style.Fooocus Inpaint (
inpaint_v26.fooocus.patch): Optimizes local repairs.CLIP Vision (
CLIP-ViT-H-14-laion2B-s32B-b79K): Encodes reference image features.
3. Node Details
Key Nodes
LoadImage: Loads input image and mask (white=inpaint area).PrepImageForClipVision: Preprocesses reference image for IPAdapter.IPAdapterAdvanced: Blends style with main model (strength=1.0 by default).INPAINT_LoadFooocusInpaint: Loads Fooocus inpainting components.KSampler: Sampler (Euler, 30 steps) controls generation.
Installation
IPAdapter: Install via ComfyUI Manager (
IPAdapter Plus).Fooocus Models: Download manually from GitHub to
ComfyUI/models/inpaint.
Dependencies
IPAdapter Models: Download from HuggingFace.
CLIP Vision: Auto-downloads (requires internet).

ComfyUIfolder.
6. Notes
Common Errors:
Missing IPAdapter files cause node failures.
Mask must match input image dimensions.
Optimization:
Reduce
KSamplersteps (e.g., 20) for speed.GPU with ≥12GB VRAM recommended.
Compatibility:
Requires ComfyUI ≥0.3.30 and matching IPAdapter plugin versions.
