Let's dive in!

Before setting up Qwen Multi-Image Editing, it’s important to make sure your system is properly configured. This includes installing ComfyUI, downloading the required model files, and verifying the correct folder structure so that everything runs smoothly.

Requirement 1: Install ComfyUI

To begin, you’ll need ComfyUI installed on your machine. If you haven’t set it up yet, you can either install locally or use a cloud GPU provider such as RunPod.

Requirement 2: Keep ComfyUI Updated

For full compatibility with the Qwen-Image-Edit workflow, ensure you are using the latest stable or nightly

For Windows Portable Users (Local)

• Open the folder:
  ...\ComfyUI_windows_portable\update

• Double-click update_comfyui.bat.

For Runpod Users:

From the RunPod terminal, run the following command line in your terminal

ts
1
2
3cd /workspace/ComfyUI && git pull origin master && pip install -r requirements.txt && cd /workspace

Regularly updating ComfyUI ensures access to the newest features and nodes, along with important bug fixes and compatibility enhancements.

Requirement 3: Download Qwen Model Files

Next, download the required model files for Qwen Mutli Image Edit. Place each file in the correct ComfyUI directory as shown below:

Requirement 4: Verify Folder Structure

ts
1📂 ComfyUI
2└── 📂 models
3    ├── 📂 diffusion_models
4    │   └── qwen_image_edit_fp8_e4m3fn.safetensors
5    ├── 📂 vae
6    │   └── qwen_image_vae.safetensors
7    ├── 📂 text_encoders
8    │   └── qwen_2.5_vl_7b_fp8_scaled.safetensors
9    ├── 📂 loras
10    │   └── Qwen-Image-Lightning-4steps-V1.0.safetensors

By ensuring that all these requirements are met, you will set a solid foundation for your multi-image editing endeavors.

With the requirements completed, the next step is to download and load the Qwen Multi-Image Editing JSON workflow into ComfyUI. This workflow is designed to configure the model correctly and enable seamless multi-image editing functionality.

Step 1: Download the Workflow File

Start by downloading the workflow file built for Qwen Multi-Image Editing. This JSON file includes the necessary nodes and connections tailored for editing multiple images.

Step 2: Load the Workflow in ComfyUI

After downloading the JSON file, open ComfyUI and drag-and-drop the file directly onto the canvas. This will automatically load the complete workflow, preparing your workspace for multi image editing.

Step 3: Verify Workflow Configuration

Once the workflow is loaded, review the nodes and ensure that all models are properly linked:

• Diffusion model → qwen_image_edit_fp8_e4m3fn.safetensors

• VAE → qwen_image_vae.safetensors

• Text Encoder → qwen_2.5_vl_7b_fp8_scaled.safetensors

• Lightning LoRA → Qwen-Image-Lightning-4steps-V1.0.safetensors

If any nodes appear missing or red, make sure your ComfyUI installation is up to date. You can also resolve this directly through the Node Manager by clicking Install Missing Custom Node. Once installed, you’ll be prompted to restart the ComfyUI server—after that, you’re all set and ready to go. This process automatically fetches and installs the required nodes, ensuring the workflow runs smoothly without errors.

With the workflow successfully loaded, it’s time to set up and run your first multi-image edit. Multi-image editing allows you to use more than one image as input, which can be particularly useful for combining elements, style transfers, multiple character scenes. Here’s how to configure your setup:

Load Models

• UNETLoader → Loads the editing model

  • qwen_image_edit_fp8_e4m3fn.safetensors

• CLIPLoader → Loads the text encoder (turns prompts into conditioning)

  • qwen_2.5_vl_7b_fp8_scaled.safetensors

• VAELoader → Loads the variational autoencoder (VAE)

  • qwen_image_vae.safetensors

Load LoRA

• LoraLoaderModelOnly → Adds LoRA for faster / stylized results

  • Model: Qwen-Image-Lightning-4steps-V1.0.safetensors

  • Strength: 1 (full effect, lower if too strong)

Load Images

• LoadImage (x2) → Import your source images (subject + background, etc.)

• ImageStitch → Combine them into one image

  • Mode: right (place image2 to the right of image1)

  • Match Image Size: true

  • Spacing Color: white

  • Spacing Width: 0

Resize Image

• FluxResolutionNode → Defines output aspect ratio

  • Example: 16:9 (Panorama)

  • Scaling: 1.0

• EmptySD3LatentImage → Creates blank latent at resolution

  • Width: 1024

  • Height: 1024

  • Batch size: 1

Prompt

• TextEncodeQwenImageEdit (Positive) → How you want the two images to be merged

  • Input: Describe how you want the two images to be merged. Be specific about what elements you want to change, enhance, or preserve from the original images you uploaded.

• TextEncodeQwenImageEdit (Negative) → What to avoid

  • Example: "blurry, distorted, artifacts"

Model Flow

• ModelSamplingAuraFlow → Sampling adjustments

  • Setting: 3

• CFGNorm → Normalizes CFG scaling

  • Strength: 1

KSampler (Main Generation Node)

This is where most tuning happens.

• Seed: 916518398297193

  • Set to randomize for variation

• Steps: 4

  • Higher = more detail, slower (good range: 4–30)

• CFG Scale: 1

  • Controls adherence to prompt

  • Low = creative freedom, High = strict prompt following

• Sampler: euler

• Scheduler: beta

• Batch Size: 1

With Qwen Lightning LoRA, 4 steps is enough for fast, sharp results.

Decode & Save

• VAEDecode → Converts latent → image

• SaveImage → Exports final output to ComfyUI folder

Finally, run the workflow and inspect the output. If the results are not as expected, don’t hesitate to iterate by adjusting masks, prompts, or the emphasis on specific images. This iterative process is key to achieving the best results in multi-image editing.

Example 1: Object Injection

Multi-image editing allows new items, like handbags, sports equipment, or gadgets, to be seamlessly added to an existing scene without recreating the entire composition. This ensures the original lighting, perspective, and shadows remain intact.

Prompt: she is looking in the camera, sqautting down, dynamic upper-body pose. with one arm she is flexing her muscles, sport bag between her legs, Studio lighting with natural soft shadows, gym interior background with equipment and subtle reflections, sports bag fully visible with detailed materials and textures.

Example 2: Consistent Backgrounds Merge

You can maintain the same environment while changing poses, expressions, or outfits. This is perfect for fashion shoots, e-commerce, or cinematic sequences where background continuity is crucial.

Prompt: she is standing with her hands in her hair, she is surprised, mouth open, sitting, hands on legs, she is standing in front of the background image, keep the background the same with the letters "vogue", you can see the letters above her in the background, keep the same lighting from the background image

Example 3: Outfit / Costume Changes

Easily swap or update a character’s clothing, while clothing is the main focus, you can also adjust the character’s pose, background, or facial expression if needed, giving you full flexibility to create multiple stylish variations without starting from scratch. This is perfect for testing different fashion looks, cosplay variations, or product displays, saving time while maintaining visual consistency.

Prompt: she is surprised, mouth open, she is wearing the exact same lingerie set as shown in the image. side view, close up, white classy room, sitting on chair, side view, hands in hair

Example 4: Multiple Character Scenes / Interactions

Combine two characters—or a character and an animal—into a single coherent scene. This allows for natural interactions and dynamic storytelling without generating everything in one shot. You can also mix different styles, such as a cartoon character with a realistic character, creating unique and imaginative compositions.

Prompt: They are standing close together, holding each other, looking directly at the camera, smiling naturally. Studio lighting with soft, natural shadows. Merge seamlessly with a beach at sunset, golden sunlight reflecting on the sand and water, maintaining consistent lighting, perspective, and natural integration.

Multi-image editing in ComfyUI with Qwen-Image-Edit opens up a wide range of creative possibilities, allowing you to enhance and modify scenes efficiently while maintaining visual consistency. Whether you are injecting objects, maintaining consistent backgrounds, swapping outfits, or combining multiple characters, the workflow we provided guides you through achieving professional-looking results without recreating the entire scene.

We hope you find this tutorial helpful and that it inspires you to explore the full potential of multi-image editing. By using the workflow and techniques outlined here, you can create dynamic, polished compositions suitable for fashion shoots, e-commerce, cinematic sequences, or imaginative storytelling.
