# Image v1 vs Image v2

Image edit (v1) and Image v2 are siblings. v1 is unchanged. Do not mute-fix `workflow_flux2_klein_edit.json` (the dual-branch template that deletes `75:*` or `92:*` at runtime).

| | Image edit (v1) | Image v2 |
|---|---|---|
| Tab | Image edit | Image v2 |
| Route | `POST /api/edit` | `POST /api/v2/generate` and `POST /v2/generate` |
| Graphs | One file, prune unused branch | `klein_v2_edit.json`, `klein_v2_compose.json`, `klein_v2_refine.json`, or `klein_v2_generate.json` |
| Second still | Optional; switches branch | Compose only; required. Mismatch is a 400 |
| Mask | — | Refine only; required. Missing mask is a 400, not an Edit fallback |
| Input still | Required | Edit / Compose / Refine required. Generate ignores stills |
| LoRAs | Optional user picker | SNOFS + Consistency, four strengths. Generate defaults Consistency off |
| Defaults | 20 steps, CFG 1 | 24 steps, CFG 4 (turbo: 8 / 1) |

Poll v2 jobs the same way as v1: `GET /api/generate/{id}/stream` and `GET /api/generate/{id}`.

## Modes

- **edit** — one image + text. Task is `scene`. Sending `image_b` is rejected. Use this to change lighting, background, or the whole frame from a single still.
- **compose** — two images + text. `image_b` is required. No silent one-image fallback. Use this to lock a person from A and pull a face or outfit from B.
- **refine** — one canvas + a painted mask + text. `image_a` and `mask` are required. `image_b` is ignored. Prompt only what should change inside the mask. Strength is denoise in that region (not CFG). Use this for face / hand / chest fixes without opening Comfy.
- **generate** — text only. No `image_a`, `image_b`, or mask. Size is width × height (768 / 1024 / 1280), not megapixels from a still. Use this to make a new Klein still from a prompt.

Compose tasks:

- **identity** — person from A; B reinforces the face; prompt changes pose/scene
- **outfit** — person, body, pose, background from A; clothing only from B
- **face_lock** — body/pose/scene from A; face from B
- **scene** — A is the edit image; B is style/background

Refine and Generate do not prepend Edit/Compose role headers. The user prompt is the whole prompt.

Dummy tests:

- Compose + two unrelated photos + “keep everything the same” must change the output. If it matches old v1 gens, still B is not connected.
- Refine + last good gen + mask on the left breast + “red X painted on the left breast” at strength 0.4. Pass = X on the breast, face/pose/background stay. Fail = whole image regenerates, or nothing changes.
- Generate + “a red cube on a white table, studio light” and no stills. Pass = a new image of that. Fail = missing-image error, or the output equals the last Edit/Compose still.

## Nodes the mapper patches

Edit and Compose:

| Node | Role |
|------|------|
| `1` | Load Image A (`inputs.image`) |
| `2` / `23` | Scale to MP, lanczos (`megapixels`) |
| `7` | SNOFS LoRA (`lora_name`, `strength_model`, `strength_clip`) |
| `8` | Consistency LoRA (`lora_name`, `strength_model`, `strength_clip`) |
| `9` | Positive `CLIPTextEncode.text` (role header + user prompt on Compose) |
| `10` | Negative `CLIPTextEncode.text` |
| `15` | Seed |
| `17` | Steps (Flux2Scheduler; Klein-native, euler sampler) |
| `18` | CFG |
| `21` | SaveImage prefix |

Compose only:

| Node | Role |
|------|------|
| `22` | Load Image B |
| `23` | Scale B |
| `24` | VAE encode B |
| `25` / `26` | Second ReferenceLatent (B fused into pos/neg) |

Refine only (`klein_v2_refine.json`):

| Node | Role |
|------|------|
| `1` | Load canvas |
| `30` | Load mask (white = edit, black = keep) |
| `2` | Scale canvas to MP |
| `31` / `32` / `34` | Resize mask to canvas, take red channel, grow slightly |
| `33` | `SetLatentNoiseMask` on the encoded canvas |
| `17` | `BasicScheduler.denoise` — this is Strength, not CFG |
| `19` | Sampler starts from the masked canvas latent, not an empty Flux2 latent |

Generate only (`klein_v2_generate.json`):

| Node | Role |
|------|------|
| `14` | `EmptyFlux2LatentImage` at request width × height |
| `17` | `Flux2Scheduler` steps + the same size |
| `7` | SNOFS LoRA |
| `8` | Consistency LoRA — removed at runtime when both strengths are 0 |
| `9` / `10` | Prompt / negative from the API (no leftover widget text) |

There is no `LoadImage`. If the executed Generate graph has a required LoadImage, the job fails. v1 node 145 (muted T2I with a baked prompt) is not used.

If `image_b` is sent on Edit/Compose and the executed graph has fewer than two `LoadImage` nodes, the job fails. If Refine runs without a mask input or without denoise on the scheduler, the job fails.

## Default sliders

| Slider | Default |
|--------|---------|
| SNOFS Model | 0.65 |
| SNOFS CLIP | 0.35 |
| Consistency Model | 0.70 |
| Consistency CLIP | 0.70 |
| Steps | 24 (turbo 8) |
| CFG | 4 (turbo 1) |
| Scale to MP | 1.0 lanczos |
| Strength (denoise) | 0.35 on Refine only. Hidden on Edit/Compose/Generate. Range 0.15–0.75 |
| Size | Generate only. 1:1 1024×1024, 3:4 768×1024, 4:3 1024×768, 16:9 1280×768, 9:16 768×1280 |

### When to use each Refine strength

| Preset | Strength | SNOFS model / CLIP | Consistency | Use for |
|--------|----------|--------------------|-------------|---------|
| Face | 0.25–0.35 (chip 0.28) | 0.55 / 0.25 | 0.75 / 0.80 | Glasses, cheeks, jaw. Keep the rest of the canvas. |
| Hand / chest | 0.35–0.45 (chip 0.40) | 0.65 / 0.30 | 0.70 / 0.70 | Hands, breasts, local contact. Dummy test uses 0.40. |
| Heavy | 0.55 | current sliders | current sliders | Stubborn region that barely moved at 0.40. |

Do not raise Strength to rewrite the whole frame. If the face or background moves, the mask is too big or Strength is too high.

### NSFW identity vs outfit swap

- **identity / face_lock** — keep Consistency at 0.70 / 0.70 so the face from A (identity) or B (face_lock) holds. Do not drop SNOFS CLIP below ~0.30 or the skin/body read falls apart.
- **outfit** — keep SNOFS Model ~0.65 so cloth reads; do not raise it past ~0.85 or it starts rewriting the body from A. Consistency stays at 0.70 so the person in A does not become the person in B.
- **scene / edit** — start at the table defaults. Turbo is for drafts only.
- **refine** — prompt only the masked change. Face vs hand/chest chips set Strength and LoRAs together.
- **generate** — SFW scene = SNOFS 0 / 0. SNOF T2I = SNOFS 0.65 / 0.35. Consistency stays 0. Turbo is 8 steps / CFG 1.

Presets on this tab store sliders + mode + task (+ Strength when Refine, + size when Generate). They do not load v1 LoRA stacks or a cached latent.
