A physics/ML researcher and long-time Midjourney user shares his first ComfyUI workflow on a MacBook Pro M4 Pro (24GB): zimageturbo (Lumina2) bf16 with ModelSamplingAuraFlow (shift 3), img2img via VAEEncode on his own photo, a LoRA (ZIMAGE-CCD-V1 at 0.62 strength), separate CLIP encodes for positive/negative prompts, and KSampler at cfg 1.3, 20 steps, resmultistep + simple scheduler, denoise 0.7. He finds the graph-based control over samplers and conditioning far more appealing than Midjourney and asks where to go next for painterly/portrait work.
