Definition: Denoise Strength

Determines how much noise is added and removed during sampling (1.00 for text-to-image, 0.30–0.65 for img2img and upscaling).

Setting denoise below 1.0 preserves the structure of an encoded input image, making it the primary slider for img2img refinement, FaceDetailer passes, and Ultimate SD Upscale.

How to tune this in your ComfyUI workflow

Every parameter in ComfyUI is exposed directly on its node rather than hidden behind global settings tabs. You can inspect or override this behavior per pass in ComfyUI Studio.
