Getting started
From download to first image
How to install an enzinoAI model, LoRA or workflow in ComfyUI and get the results you see on the product pages. About ten minutes the first time.
1. Install ComfyUI
All enzinoAI models and workflows are made for ComfyUI, the free node-based interface for image generation. If you do not have it yet, install the desktop version from comfy.org (Windows and macOS) or the portable version from GitHub.
Also install ComfyUI-Manager if your version does not include it: it adds missing nodes in one click, which most workflows need.
2. Put each file in its folder
ComfyUI looks for each kind of file in its own folder, inside ComfyUI/models/. A file in the wrong folder simply does not appear in the list.
| You downloaded | Put it in |
|---|---|
A full checkpoint (one .safetensors with everything inside, as for SDXL models) | models/checkpoints |
| A diffusion model that loads its text encoder and VAE separately (common on newer architectures) | models/diffusion_models |
| A LoRA or a character LoRA | models/loras |
| A text encoder or a VAE required by a model | models/text_encoders · models/vae |
A workflow (.json) | Anywhere: you open it from ComfyUI |
Not sure which kind a model is? Open the workflow that comes with it: the loader node shows which folder it reads. If a loader is red after loading the workflow, the file is missing or in another folder.
After adding files, refresh ComfyUI (press R or restart it) so the new files appear in the lists.
3. Load the workflow
Drag the workflow's .json file onto the ComfyUI window. The whole graph appears, already wired.
- Red nodes mean custom nodes are missing: open Manager → Install Missing Custom Nodes, install them, then restart ComfyUI.
- In each loader node, pick the files you just installed.
- Write your prompt, then click Queue (or Ctrl + Enter).
Workflows are listed under Workflows, and many model pages mention the workflow they were tested with.
4. Use the recommended settings
Each model is tuned for its own sampler, number of steps and CFG. When they are documented, you find them on the product page, under Recommended settings and Technical details. Start with those values: they are what the example images were made with.
Different settings are not wrong, but if your images look very different from the examples, the settings are the first thing to check.
5. BF16 or FP8?
Some models come in several formats. They are the same model saved at different precisions:
With enzinoAI Pro, every format of every model is included, so you can try both.
6. Add a character LoRA
- Put the LoRA file in
models/loras. - In the workflow, add a LoraLoader node (or use the one already there) between the model loader and the sampler, and pick your LoRA.
- Set the strength to the value given on the LoRA's page (often between 0.6 and 1.0), and write its trigger word in your prompt when it has one.

7. Common problems
The model does not appear in the loader's list
It is in another folder than the one this loader reads (see step 2), or ComfyUI was not refreshed. Press R or restart ComfyUI.
Some nodes are red when I open the workflow
They are custom nodes you do not have yet. Open Manager → Install Missing Custom Nodes, install them, then restart ComfyUI.
"Out of memory" or very slow generations
Use the FP8 version when one exists, lower the image resolution, or close other programs using the graphics card.
My images look very different from the examples
Check the sampler, steps and CFG against the recommended settings on the product page, and that the right model (and version) is selected in the loader.
My character does not look like my character
Check that the LoRA is connected, that its strength is not too low, and that its trigger word is in the prompt.
