Hildegard refiner enhances Stable Diffusion upscaling with contextual tiles

A new workflow and LoRa model named Hildegard has been released for ComfyUI, offering tiled upscaling and refining capabilities. This tool is designed to work with the FLUX.2 Klein model and functions as an alternative to Ultimate SD Upscale. Hildegard generates reference latents for each tile, including its neighbors and a thumbnail of the entire image, to improve context understanding and prevent seams or hallucinations. AI

IMPACT Provides enhanced contextual upscaling for Stable Diffusion workflows, improving image quality and reducing artifacts.
