ComfyUI user finds refmod nodes lose clothing details vs plain image references

spacemidget75 · reddit · 2026-10-28

A ComfyUI user shares first-hand comparisons suggesting refmod nodes (Adudeguyman's, which bake a reference image into the safetensor) actually perform worse than plain image references: across several videos, clothing details went missing and faces drifted.

Swapping back to separate clothing and face image references instantly restored fidelity — belt buckles and buttons now match the reference. The poster isn't sure why refmods underperform and asks whether others see the same, a useful counter-intuitive data point for character-consistency workflows.
