I was put off by ComfyUI, seems awfully complex. How is your experience?
Any suggestions to start? I have Fooocus installed now
It is difficult to understand in the beginning but has great support for premade workflows. It even saves the workflow into its output images so you can drag and drop them into the webui to duplicate the setup that generated the image. Use the internet to get premade workflows and mess around with them to see what the options do and you'll slowly learn how it works. If you don't care about precise control over the generations or understanding how image generators works then just use something else more all-in-one.
