I think the combo workflow gives pretty good images without loras and stuff. But the base model is suppose to give lower quality images, it is in the dev description. But it is more advanced in what images it can do and it is more open to be build on as a base so to say.

2026-02-25 01:05:35 +0000 UTCDoes anyone else find that the images this produces seem to be inferior in many ways to Zit turbo? idk. its weird. after playing around quite a bit it just seems like the images always turn out grainy and strange, even when you turn the grain off, or tweak it... idk.. just seems less... "perfect" . i guess in some ways that makes it realistic, but in other ways it just feels like the images are coming out "dirty" idk.

2026-02-21 16:00:51 +0000 UTCFor the Runpod step, after the script runs it says to "update comfyui" - does anyone know if this means specifically just update comfui or also "update all"?
Noel Holmes
2026-02-21 04:09:38 +0000 UTCplease update your wan i2V workflows. comfyui is updated and all your workflow mostly missing nodes or juts dont have no more right nodes. but all the workflows i find on internet is way too complicated! please make new updated version and as simple as you always make.

2026-02-19 19:42:27 +0000 UTCAs far as the use of nsfw loras is concerned, both for turbo and less per base, is there any sense in using it only with loras for turbo?

2026-02-08 20:20:50 +0000 UTCWhen i use Z-Image combo controlnet and depth anything like the video, it makes a black and white depth image, but it never creates a new image based on my prompt?. it just stops at the depth image
Rick Doman
2026-02-08 02:46:00 +0000 UTCYes, works better with Base model than Turbo model

2026-02-07 23:00:56 +0000 UTCCan you use loras with this?
Talivaldis Berzins
2026-02-07 17:15:03 +0000 UTCYou are probably using Z-Image Turbo loras, which are incompatible with Z-Image Base.

2026-02-06 16:41:28 +0000 UTCI noticed that the Z-IMAGE ULTRA COMBO TEXT TO IMAGE does not save the prompt in the image. Is there another way to save the prompt?

2026-02-04 13:31:55 +0000 UTCDenoise is set to 1.0 in the workflow, Just noticed. Set it back to 0.6. All good
JAB
2026-02-04 10:00:40 +0000 UTCThe Z-IMAGE ULTRA COMBO IMAGE TO IMAGE part isn't working for me. It completely ignored the input image and just creates a new pic from the prompt. Anyone else have this problem?

2026-02-04 09:54:31 +0000 UTCTo the people having trouble with GGUF magic invalid, you'll need to download the regular z_image-Q6_K.gguf manually, it does not exist on aitrepreneur's huggin face repo. THere is Q4, Q5 and Q8 there, but Q6 is not. Either grab another model or find it on another huggin face repo. Get https://huggingface.co/Aitrepreneur/FLX/blob/main/z_image-Q5_K_S.gguf or https://huggingface.co/Aitrepreneur/FLX/blob/main/z_image-Q8_0.gguf and put it in your installation folder/comfyui/models/unet

Mark Sykes
2026-02-03 17:39:36 +0000 UTCIm confused it works fine and everything but i've been downloading z-image loras from CivitAI and putting them in the lora folder... when generating an image with a lora it messes up?
Tark Morris
2026-02-03 16:26:28 +0000 UTCInstaled it from scratch, twice, but it keeps giving me this error. I guess I'll have to download the models? where, how? Is it something else completely different?

2026-02-02 18:42:17 +0000 UTCIs it me or does the nodes installer not install the base model. I only see Turbo.

2026-02-02 15:33:22 +0000 UTCSorry if I missed this, but how does one use the Z-Image Inpainting flow in the master workflow provided? Are you not able to select or paint the area of interest with that flow? Is it purely text prompt based?

2026-02-02 13:43:36 +0000 UTCLooking forward to next vids/updates with Controlnet & LoRA training. I assume you can take the images created and use in the LTX-2 workflow if you want a video created?

2026-02-02 04:18:35 +0000 UTCHow would I add Z image base to AI toolkit? Rerun the auto install? I want to train Lora with base in AI toolkit

2026-02-01 22:50:47 +0000 UTCSo, for me it technically works, but the anatomy is really really bad. A closeup of a hand results in molten uneven fingers, that's much worse than z-image turbo (or any other model I tried so far). Strange...

2026-02-01 21:16:16 +0000 UTCAndre, while waiting for Aitrepreneur to answer you, you may want to try moving the entire ComfyUI_windows_portable folder from System32 to anywhere else on your drive. I have mine in the root C: drive. The joy of the ComfyUI_windows_portable version of ComfyUI is that it is just that: portable. You can move it anywhere you want without it affecting anything else. It's POSSIBLE that since System32 is a, well...system folder, that this may be the cause of the error messages. (You might also try right-clicking the .bat file to start ComfyUI and then RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.) But really, I would just encourage you to move it elsewhere on your hard drive.

2026-02-01 17:10:13 +0000 UTCcheck the file type at the clip loader. It shouldn't be qwen but lumina2. If it still doesn't work make a clean installation of comfyui because sometimes when you try to reuse older ones it messes things up.

2026-02-01 16:54:15 +0000 UTCI just want to thank Aitrepreneur for this incredible workflow. Dude, you are the best and deserve the support of this community. This is a real banger. Best workflow in the world right now for Zimage base. The idea of using turbo to refine it is just brilliant. Keep up the amazing work!!
Paul Mazurkiewicz
2026-02-01 16:45:31 +0000 UTCDoes anyone have a good reference for Zimage base prompting that has a list of the styles that can be called out explicitly?
Paul Mazurkiewicz
2026-02-01 16:41:58 +0000 UTCBless you, sir....you come through once again! I may actually try making a LoRA for the first time. Will your previously-done run-down using Z-Image Turbo work as well for Z-Image? (I'm also more interested in a an, ummmm, NSFW man-woman POSE LoRA rather than the usual character LoRAs you do. Not sure if the instructions are still the same.)

2026-02-01 14:04:00 +0000 UTCIn 2026, Windows Defender is the only antivirus you need. Any other paid antivirus are just bloatware. So if Windows Defender is not flagging it, it's safe. Beside, you can open the bat files with a text editor, and examine the code yourself. Better yet, copy and paste all the codes into ChatGPT and ask it to scrutinize its safety if reading code is not in your domain.

2026-02-01 07:19:55 +0000 UTCI have not been able to install stuff lately, If you see this and ComfyUI did not start try updating your Nvidia Drivers to the latest. If you get a c10.dll error you need to install vc redist that you can find: https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x64.exe C:\Users\User\Downloads\ComfyUI_windows_portable>pause Press any key to continue . . .
