Every operation is its own node; results flow downstream automatically. Chain stages into a complete flow: generate → pick → edit → compose. The ComfyTV canvas *** ## Install ```bash theme={null} cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes git clone https://github.com/jtydhr88/ComfyTV ``` Restart ComfyUI. Open the **Add Node** menu (double-click the canvas or right-click) and look for the **`ComfyTV`** category. It's split into sub-menus: Project, Input, Generate, Image, Panorama, Video, Audio, Compose. Add-node menu *** ## The basics ### Each node has its own Run button Most stages have a **▶ Run** button inside their panel. Clicking it runs *just that stage* — it does **not** re-run the whole graph. The result appears in the node's output preview. > Some stages (Crop, Rotate, Mirror, Grid Split, Panorama viewports) **have no Run button** — they work entirely in your browser and update instantly as you adjust them. ### Results flow downstream as snapshots Once an upstream stage runs, its result is saved as a snapshot; downstream stages use that snapshot directly when they run, without re-running the upstream. ### Project selector Drop a **Project** node to name/switch the current project. Everything you generate is filed under it and restored when you reload the workflow. *** ## Quick run 1. Add **Generate → Image Stage**. 2. Type a prompt in the node's text box (e.g. `a red apple on a wooden table`). 3. Pick a model in the **workflow** dropdown — start with **`Local SD1.5`**. 4. Click **▶ Run**. Image stage running The Image Stage produces a **set of images** (a workflow can output more than one). The first time you Run it, ComfyTV **auto-adds an Image Picker** wired to its output. ### Pick a result Click a thumbnail on the Image Stage itself, or on the auto-spawned Image Picker. Either way an **action toolbar** (`✏️ Edit`, `🌐 Panorama`, `📐 Multiangle`, …) appears next to the picked frame. Image picker with toolbar *** ## Zoom into a preview Hover any output image and use the **mouse wheel** to zoom (1×–6×), **drag** to pan, and **double-click** to reset. Works on every image output preview. *** ## Where to next * [generate.md](/guides/generate) — generators (text / image / video / audio) * [image-tools.md](/guides/image-tools) — crop, rotate, mirror, inpaint, erase, cutout, upscale, outpaint, grid split, variations, multi-angle * [compose.md](/guides/compose) — Image Picker, A/B compare
