Krea 2 Reference Image Editing ComfyUI Workflow | Precise Style Control

Turns reference photos into consistent, editable visuals fast and clear.

Who it's for: creators who want this pipeline in ComfyUI without assembling nodes from scratch. Not for: one-click results with zero tuning - you still choose inputs, prompts, and settings.

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

This powerful image editing setup helps you recreate and transform images by guiding Krea 2 with a reference shot and text prompt. It preserves the subject, pose, and framing while enabling detailed control over style and character tweaks. You can edit compositions, objects, and appearances without losing scene integrity. It leverages Krea 2 Turbo, Qwen3-VL encoding, and advanced conditioning for smooth editing flow. Ideal for designers who need efficient, prompt-driven edits with visual consistency and clarity.

Important nodes:

Key nodes in Comfyui Krea 2 reference image editing ComfyUI workflow

TextEncodeKrea2 (#27)
Generates instruction‑plus‑reference conditioning using a system prompt and the loaded image. Adjust the instruction to describe desired changes clearly, then refine how strongly the reference guides the result. If you later enable a style LoRA, reduce reliance on the reference to avoid over‑constraining the look. Source: ethanfel/ComfyUI-Krea2TextEncoder.

TextEncodeKrea2 (#69)
Same encoder as above but with mask support for local edits. Provide a mask to focus the analyzer on what should change, and keep the instruction specific to that region. For cleaner backgrounds, keep masked edits concise and avoid conflicting global style pushes. Source: ethanfel/ComfyUI-Krea2TextEncoder.

TextEncodeQwenImageEditPlus (#56)
Combines your instruction with Qwen‑extracted image features for faithful image‑to‑image edits. Use it when you want the output to closely track surface details from the reference. If results become too literal, simplify the instruction or switch to TextEncodeKrea2 for more conceptual control. Source: Comfy-Org/Krea-2.

Krea2EditRebalance (#10)
Builds a balanced positive and negative conditioning pair from the reference plus your negative list, helping preserve identity and composition while moving the scene to a new context. Start with moderate rebalancing and only increase if the subject drifts. When stacking a style LoRA, keep rebalancing conservative to prevent oversaturation.
