What this node does

ComfyTV stages output COMFYTV_IMAGE URL strings. Native nodes — IPAdapter, ControlNet, Save Image, VAE Encode — need IMAGE tensors. ← ComfyTV Image parses /view? on graph execute, loads PNG from output/ / input/ / temp, returns [1,H,W,C] float tensor. Opposite of → ComfyTV Image: ComfyTV → native plugin ecosystem.

When to use it

  • ComfyTV edit result → IPAdapter restyle
  • ComfyTV output → native upscale / face restore
  • End pipeline with Save Image

How it works

  • Not a Stage — no Run, no snapshot write. Normal node on Queue.
  • _load_image_tensor: RGB; alpha available via ← ComfyTV Mask.
  • URL must be ComfyTV /view?filename=…&subfolder=…&type=….

Types

Into ComfyTV: → ComfyTV Image (Run required). bridges.md

Parameters

image

Upstream COMFYTV_IMAGE. Empty → error.

Outputs

Step by step

  1. ComfyTV chain produces COMFYTV_IMAGE (e.g. Upscale after Run).
  2. Add ← ComfyTV Image, wire.
  3. Connect to IPAdapter / Save Image.
  4. Queue full graph (not ComfyTV stage Run).
This page covers one node only. For end-to-end workflows, multi-stage pipelines, type conversion, and design rationale, see the ComfyTV user guides on GitHub:

FAQ

Q: Out-bridge Run?
A: No. Into-bridges (→) Run; out-bridges (←) load on Queue.
Q: Upstream ComfyTV not Run yet?
A: No valid URL — Run upstream stage or into-bridge first.
Q: PNG with alpha?
A: RGB → IMAGE; inverted alpha as mask → ← ComfyTV Mask.
