Angelo node for ComfyUI adds SAM 3 detection and one-click inpainting

A photographer's ComfyUI node lets you fix hands by typing what to edit.

Deep Dive

Angelo is a ComfyUI node built by a photographer frustrated with the manual loop of generating an image, exporting it to Photoshop or a mask editor, fixing a flaw, and re-importing. It unifies sampling, inpainting, and refining into one workflow, with special attention to common AI art mistakes like mangled hands. The node is currently optimized for the Klein 9B edit model but supports others.

The standout feature is integration of SAM 3 (Segment Anything Model 3) for visual detection. Instead of painting masks or drawing boxes, users type a target like "her left hand" or "the red car" and click a Quick Detect button. All matches are highlighted; clicking one immediately edits it. Edited areas turn green, and an opacity slider lets you check edges. A one-click installer inside the node folder handles SAM 3 dependencies, keeping the core node lightweight. This drastically reduces friction for photographers who need precise, iterative AI image fixes inside ComfyUI.

Key Points
  • Unified sampler, inpainter, and refiner node optimized for fixing AI art flaws like hands.
  • SAM 3 integration allows text-prompt detection (e.g., "the face") and one-click editing with green completion indicators.
  • One-click SAM 3 installer included; works with Klein 9B and other edit models.

Why It Matters

Photographers can now fix AI-generated images entirely inside ComfyUI, eliminating external editor hops.
