What I'd like to do is this. I'd like to generate an initial image. If I like it, then I want to use it. It I dont like it, then I want to generate an alternative initial image.
Can I have a reverse floodgate, that I can use in concert with some sort of image parker, where if the node value is true, it will use the image that has already been generated, but if the node value is false, it will draw from the pathway where it creates a new image?
This may not all fit into one node. I think I'd need a node that will serve up an image, whenever it is asked, and the image that it serves up will be replaced if a new image is created.
So lets say that we have a boolean value in our graph. This boolean value is the "create new initial image" value.
So lets say that node 1 creates an initial image. That image goes out to both node 2 and node 3. Node 1 is only activated if the boolean value for creating a new initial image is true.
Node 2 can recieve an image from node 1 optionally, otherwise it just hangs on to whatever image it has received in the past. It also has an image output to pass an image along. It's like the preview bridge node that already exists, but it wont break if it doesnt get served an image each time, unlike the existing preview image bridge.
Node 3 is the reverse floodgate. It takes that same boolean value that was used earlier to create an initial image. If the boolean is true that we are creating a new initial image, then it chooses the input from the initial image generator, or node 1. If the boolean for creating an initial image is false, then it takes the input from node 2, which is that special image preview bridge that doesnt have to get a new image each time.
This way, I can generate initial images until I like one, and then when I like it, I'll switch the reverse floodgate.
Why dont I just use the default behavior? Because my images are created with a dynamic prompt. And because the inputs that go into the initial image change with each generation, I cant shut that off. I need the reverse floodgate. (and the modified image preview bridge.
