Stencil Control layer
Also known as QRCode Monster this control layer allows you to imprint QR codes creatively into images. Its release was quickly followed by a wave of images which used it to not only hide QR codes, but all sorts of patterns and subtle (or not so subtle) messages in images. It can produce interesting results :)
Thank you @jellydreams for the implementation.
Control fine tuning
There is now preliminary support to configure at which point in the sampling process the influence of a control layer should end. Previously it was active for the whole duration - now it can be set to stop early. In some cases this improves quality in a way that the existing strength parameter cannot. For more information and a comparison, see the PR.
For now this option is hidden by default, it must be activated in the plugin settings "Interface" tab first. The goal is to eventually merge this into one parameter that adjusts influence while retaining optimal quality.
Thank you @Danamir for the implementation.
Support for Apple macOS
Since by now various people have successfully used the plugin on macOS, I shall declare it supported :)
If you are having trouble check out this issue.
Thanks to @yantoz, users with Apple silicon can now select the MPS (Metal Performance Shader) option to install and launch the ComfyUI server from within the plugin with hardware support.
Installation and Setup
Since last version, a great (and sometimes overwhelming) number of new users have tried out the plugin. This resulted in a lot of issues with installation or onboarding existing Comfy installs. I'm not entirely surprised - there is a huge combination of OS, hardware and system setups out there, and way too much that can go wrong. Still, I hope there are also those for which it "just worked" and made everything more accessible. As for the rest, I rely on your feedback and support to improve robustness.
