Flux1 Kontext DEV – RetroFix AI

Restore the past. Automatically.

This workflow allows you to restore black & white, damaged, or faded photographs into vivid, realistic images — fully automated and prompt-free.

🔧 How it works:

1. Upload any photo to ComfyUI — even low-resolution, black & white, or visibly deteriorated.
2. The JoyCaption Beta One Model (Advance) automatically analyzes the image, detecting subjects, context, and scene information.
3. A high-quality prompt is generated and passed directly to Flux1 Kontext DEV, with no need for external APIs or manual input.
4. The image is reconstructed, colorized, and enhanced — preserving the original composition while improving visual clarity, color fidelity, and detail.

✅ Requirements:

• ComfyUI installed (recommended version: 0.3.38 or newer)
• JoyCaption Beta One (Advance) node
• Flux1 Kontext DEV (runs locally — no API key required)
