The decartunizer is a workflow for Comfy-UI that transform 2d images into more realistic images, that was posted on reddit by user mr-asa.
At first I thought it would be achievable with img2img on stable diffusion, but no, this workflow has 133 nodes. That is a lot.
After installing it with a clean Comfy-UI, several kinds of nodes were missing. At first I was hunting for the add-ons to install them, but then I found Comfy-Manager, that has a repository and a button to intall all missing nodes. It's easily googleable, but here is the link for it: https://github.com/ltdrdata/ComfyUI-Manager I had to install control net and a few checkpoints and loras too. Not the easiest tool to install if you're not familiar with Comfy-UI, but eventually I got it working.
Then, my first attempt was to decartunize one of my kid's drawings:
First result wasn't good, without modifying the workflow, I get things like this:
That's a consequence that most fine tunes and things done by the stable diffusion community are heavily biased towards drawing girls, for some reason.
I examined the workflow and saw that 2 "Joytag" nodes, that try to guess a prompt to generate a similar image was generating bad results. I replaced them with a fixed text that is closer to what I wanted: "rectangular creature, masterpiece, best quality, high quality, extremely detailed CG, intricate details. dark, contrasting background".
It got weird:
Then I changed all checkpoints to the base stable diffusion 1.5, and got my final result:
These were simple changes compared to the orginal workflow, but if anyone wants to look at it, it's this one
Windows defender claimed they're bad because they are cracks, and doesn't mention any reason it thinks that would be a virus/trojan or something I dont want
