Why RunComfy first
- Fewer missing-node surprises — run the graph in a managed environment before you mirror it locally.
- Quick GPU tryout — useful if your local VRAM or install time is the bottleneck.
- Matches the published JSON — the zip follows the same runnable workflow you can open on RunComfy.

When downloading for local ComfyUI makes sense — you want full control over models on disk, batch scripting, or offline runs.

How to use (local ComfyUI)
1. Load inputs (images/video/audio) in the marked loader nodes.
2. Set prompts, resolution, and seeds; start with a short test run.
3. Export from the Save / Write nodes shown in the graph.

Expectations — First run may pull large weights; cloud runs may require a free RunComfy account.

Overview

With this workflow, you can refine subtle facial emotions and maintain high visual fidelity in portraits. It allows designers to easily steer expressions from joy to calm to surprise without altering the original composition. Built on Qwen Image Edit, it uses the PixelSmile conditioning method for consistent results. Ideal for emotion retouching, character design, or digital portrait enhancement. Perfect for creators who demand precision and nuance in emotional rendering.
