AI on the Lot 2026 - Z-Image Turbo - t2i + Upscale is a streamlined ComfyUI workflow that takes you from a text prompt to a polished, high-resolution image in one pass. It centers on a custom text-to-image node (Z-Image Turbo; UUID f2fdebf6-dfaf-43b6-9eb2-7f70613cfdc1) to generate the initial image and then routes the output through an integrated upscale stage for added detail and clarity. The SaveImage node captures your outputs to disk, while the ImageCompare node produces a side-by-side composite so you can visually judge how much quality the upscale added—and whether any artifacts were introduced.

Technically, the workflow chains a T2I generation step into an upscaling step, minimizing manual wiring and keeping your iteration loop tight. You enter your prompt (and optional negative prompt) in the Z-Image Turbo node, adjust core generation controls like seed, steps, and guidance (as exposed by the node), and set your target resolution or scale factor for the upscale stage. The ImageCompare node receives both the base and upscaled images to output a comparison image, and SaveImage records each stage with consistent filenames for easy A/B review. Because the T2I node accepts whichever checkpoint you load in your ComfyUI environment, you can pair this workflow with your preferred model without changing the graph.
