ComfyUI's built-in Load Image node can only load uploaded images, which produces duplicated files in the input directory and cannot reload the image when the source file is changed. Load Image From Path instead loads the image from the source path and does not have such problems.
Useful for automated or API-driven workflows.
The image path can be in the following format:
-
Absolute path:
D:\ComfyUI\output\ComfyUI_00001_-assets\ComfyUI_00001_.png -
Relative to the input directory:
ComfyUI_00001_-assets\ComfyUI_00001_.png [input] -
Relative to the output directory:
ComfyUI_00001_-assets\ComfyUI_00001_.png [output] -
Relative to the temp directory:
ComfyUI_00001_-assets\ComfyUI_00001_.png [temp]
