Use your LoRA

Your training tool saves the LoRA as a .safetensors file, usually one for every few hundred steps. Use the step you chose.

Put the file in place

1. 1
   Copy the file into ComfyUI/models/loras. A sub-folder there is fine.
2. 2
   Reload ComfyUI in your browser, or restart it, so that it lists the new file.

Load it

1. 1
   In ComfyUI, add a Load LoRA node after the model loader and pick your file. Start with a strength of 0.7 to 1.0.
2. 2
   Connect the model, and the CLIP if your workflow has one, through Load LoRA on to the sampler and the prompt.
3. 3
   Keep the base model the LoRA was trained on: a LoRA only works with its own model family.

Strength

• Load LoRA has two strengths, strength_model and strength_clip. Give both the same value to begin with.
• Your subject is weak or missing: raise the strength a little, up to about 1.2.
• Pictures look stiff, burnt or all alike: lower it to 0.5–0.7.
• Change it in steps of 0.1 and keep the seed the same, so that you only see what the strength does.

The trigger word

1. 1
   Put the trigger word at the start of your prompt.
2. 2
   Spell it exactly as in your captions.
3. 3
   Then describe what should change, the way your captions did: the pose, the place, the light.

Base model licences differ. Some do not allow selling what you make; check before you sell or publish.

Can I use it commercially?

Skye Desk watches the folder ComfyUI saves its pictures in, and brings each new one into the project you have open on Generate.

Set it up

1. 1
   Open Settings › Generate. Next to ComfyUI output folder, click Change… and choose the output folder inside your ComfyUI folder.
2. 2
   Open your project on Generate. If the folder is not set yet, its Set folder… button does the same.
3. 3
   Make pictures in ComfyUI as usual. While Generate is open, Skye Desk looks in the folder every few seconds.
4. 4
   Each new PNG, JPG or WebP lands in the project’s results, ready to pass with A or reject with X.

File pictures under a shot

Start the file name with the shot’s name: in ComfyUI’s Save Image node, set filename_prefix to it. Point at a shot on Generate to see its name. Pictures whose names match no shot still come in, without a shot.

Good to know

• Only pictures made after you set the folder come in. Older ones stay where they are.
• Nothing in the ComfyUI folder is moved or changed, and exact copies are skipped.
• ⌘Z moves the pictures that have just come in to Recently deleted.
• Stop on Generate stops watching and clears the folder setting.

Generate watches your ComfyUI output folder: new pictures appear by themselves, grouped by shot, ready to review.

5. 5
   Like one? Reuse its settings for the next shot, or add it to the dataset.

1. 1
   Open Library. Resources keeps your model files and links in one list.
2. 2
   My designs keeps your own pictures in themes: star the best, group by date, download a group as a ZIP.
3. 3
   In References, paste a screenshot with ⌘V into a board, add tags and the link it came from.
4. 4
   Click a picture to pin a numbered note on it.

Videos work in the library too: each one shows a thumbnail that plays when you point at it, and opens full screen.
