The Ultimate Guide to Advanced AI Image Editing Workflow Using Qubrid AI’s ComfyUI Template

Introduction

In our past blog, we explored how to deploy Qubrid AI’s ComfyUI Template. If you’re new to ComfyUI or haven’t yet tried it, start with that guide first - it’ll help you set up the foundation.

Now that you’re familiar with the basics, let’s go deeper. In this tutorial, you’ll learn to create an advanced custom workflow using Qubrid AI’s ComfyUI Template that allows you to:

• Edit images seamlessly using Qwen Image Edit

• Load your own or downloaded workflows

• Download custom model weights directly

By the end, you’ll have a full end-to-end image editing workflow running on Qubrid AI — from generation to real-world image editing using natural language.

Prerequisites

1. Qubrid AI Account

   

   Sign up or log in to Qubrid AI. Access to the ComfyUI Template is included once you’re onboarded.

2. Basic Familiarity with ComfyUI
   If you’re new, check out this tutorial. This blog assumes you know how to navigate the ComfyUI interface.

3. GPU Resources on Qubrid AI

   

   Advanced image editing and video models like Qwen Image, Edit, and Wan 2.2 require GPU acceleration. Qubrid AI provides enterprise-grade GPUs on demand to handle such workloads effortlessly.

4. Basic Terminal Commands & VS Code

   SSH key generation knowledge & VS Code installed with SSH setup

5. Time & Creativity
   Experimenting and tweaking is key - the more you explore, the more control you’ll gain.

Deploying Qubrid AI’s ComfyUI Template

1. Go to Qubrid.AI Platform & log in.

Qubrid.AI Platform Home Page

• Select ComfyUI Template under GPU Compute → AI/ML Templates.

Select ComfyUI Template

Click Deploy, then:

• Choose GPU instance (e.g., Nvidia A100 80GB SXM)

• Set GPU count (1 recommended for this tutorial)

• Configure Root Disk (500GB) to store models safely

Select GPU Instance

Preview GPU & Click Next

Select GPU Count - Enable SSH Access → add your SSH key.

Enable SSH Once configured, click Launch and wait 5–10 minutes. Your ComfyUI instance will be live shortly.

Launch Confirmation

Deployment Progress:

Deployment Initialized

Status - Processing

ComfyUI Deployment Successful

Success: ComfyUI is deployed and ready to use.

Connecting to VS Code via SSH

To build advanced workflows, you’ll often need to access your cloud instance.

Why SSH with VS Code

• Manage files and dependencies easily

• Enjoy local-like editing while computation runs on the GPU

Steps

1. Install VS Code & the Remote SSH extension

2. Generate an SSH key → add to Qubrid instance

3. Connect via Command Palette → Remote-SSH: Connect to Host

4. Access ComfyUI container with:

sudo su
docker ps -a
docker exec -it <container_id> /bin/bash

Access ComfyUI Container

Now you’re inside the ComfyUI environment, ready to customize workflows.

Complete Advanced Image Editing Workflow

Edit Images to Perfection with Qwen Image Edit

With Qwen Image Edit, you can create and refine images powerfully. Download the workflow: Qwen-Image-Edit-Workflow-by-Qubrid-AI

cd user/default/workflows
touch Qwen_Image_Edit.json
apt update && apt install vim wget -y
vi Qwen_Image_Edit.json

Paste workflow JSON, save, and exit. Then download models via:

wget -O models/diffusion_models/qwen_image_edit_fp8_e4m3fn.safetensors \
"https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/Qwen-Image-Edit_ComfyUI/resolve/main/split_files/diffusion_models/qwen_image_edit_fp8_e4m3fn.safetensors"

Repeat for Loras, Text Encoders, and VAE models. Structure:
