Make, Edit, Follow a picture, character sheets and storyboards all live in one app, so you never switch workflows or wire nodes: pick a tab, fill in a short form and press the button. Proteus Lite does the ComfyUI work for you.Proteus Lite is a browser app for making and editing pictures with Krea 2 on your own NVIDIA GPU, at no cost, through ComfyUI. The installer finds your ComfyUI portable (or installs the official one), adds the node packs it needs at tested versions, and puts a shortcut on your desktop. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.What it does<ul><li>Make an image (Krea 2): a two-pass quality recipe (a draft, then a detail pass that enlarges it up to 2x), styles, your own LoRAs.</li><li>Follow a picture: copy the pose (one person or several) or the layout (depth) of a photo.</li><li>Edit an image (Krea 2 Identity Edit): change what you ask and keep the rest. Paint the area or click a thing to select it (SAM 3.1), keep only what changed, combine up to 3 pictures.</li><li>Character sheets: one character from four sides (face close-up, profile, front, back), cut from one wide picture or made as a front view and three edits.</li><li>Make a storyboard: one or two recurring characters in up to 12 shots, one per line; Krea 2 edits the same pictures for each shot (same faces and outfits, new place, pose and camera), then a numbered board.</li><li>A gallery with a before / after slider, a node map of every graph, and a Setup panel that shows where each model goes.</li><li>No limits: no watermark, no size cap, no daily count.</li></ul>Your first 15 minutes<ol><li>Start the model downloads first (about 20 GB, the slowest part; Proteus Lite includes no models, and once it is installed Setup can also download them for you):<ul><li><code>krea2_turbo_fp8_scaled.safetensors</code>, 13.1 GB, into <code>ComfyUI\models\diffusion_models</code></li><li><code>qwen3vl_4b_fp8_scaled.safetensors</code>, 5.2 GB, into <code>text_encoders</code></li><li><code>qwen_image_vae.safetensors</code>, 254 MB, into <code>vae</code></li><li><code>krea2_identity_edit_v1_2.safetensors</code>, 1.8 GB, into <code>loras</code> (for Edit; the <code>_r128</code> file, 914 MB, on 8 or 12 GB cards)</li></ul>The first three are on <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/Krea-2">https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/Krea-2</a> and the last on <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/conradlocke/krea2-identity-edit">https://huggingface.co/conradlocke/krea2-identity-edit</a>. Already have Krea 2 in ComfyUI? Skip this: Proteus finds your files by their names.</li><li>While they download, extract the zip to a short path (like <code>C:\Proteus-Lite</code>) and double-click Install Proteus.bat. It finds your ComfyUI portable or installs the official one.</li><li>Move the files into place (MODELS.txt lists them), open Proteus Lite from the desktop and press Setup: Make an image and Edit should say ready.</li><li>Type a prompt, keep the defaults and press Make: about a minute a picture on an RTX 5080 once the models are loaded. Then click it, press Edit this picture and change one thing in a sentence.</li></ol>Requirements: Windows 10/11, an NVIDIA RTX card with 8 GB of VRAM or more, 32 GB RAM recommended. On 8 to 12 GB, ComfyUI keeps part of Krea 2 in RAM while it works, so pictures take longer (start at 1 MP); 16 GB is the smoothest (made and tested on an RTX 5080, 16 GB). Stuck? Setup &gt; Copy diagnostics and paste it into your message.Want video? The full Proteus adds:<ul><li>Replace a performer (MiniMax H3): your own character takes over the movement of a clip you made or may use, up to 2 minutes, with the original sound, new audio, lip-sync or a new voice.</li><li>Create a video (MiniMax H3): text, first/last frame, references, keyframes; long scenes in parts (one continuous shot past 15 s) and Continue a take.</li><li>Upscale a video: RTX Video Super Resolution or SeedVR2, plus RIFE to 48 or 60 fps.</li><li>Muse: Proteus' prompt writer; your own local GGUF language model writes prompts.</li></ul>It is for supporters on Patreon: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.patreon.com/cw/MythicalC">https://www.patreon.com/cw/MythicalC</a>Rules (18+ only): no minors, ever; no real people without their consent; follow each model's license. Proteus refuses prompts about children and asks who is in each picture you bring from disk before using it. Pictures made in Proteus aren't filtered or asked about (only prompts are read).
