# Flux Redux Reference Restyle

## Summary

Reference-image restyling / variation workflow using `Flux Redux`. This is more useful than plain text-to-image because it starts from one or more real image cues and pushes them into new outputs.

## Model Family

- `flux`

## Status

- `imported-only`

## Source

- Original repo page: <https://huggingface.co/StableDiffusionVN/Flux>
- Workflow file: <https://huggingface.co/StableDiffusionVN/Flux/resolve/main/ComfyUI_workflow/Flux_Redux.json>
- Related public workflow listing: <https://comfy.org/workflows/flux_redux_model_example-52dd3f09bb59/>
- Original publisher: `StableDiffusionVN`
- Date imported: `2026-08-08`

## Developer notes

- The publisher includes this as one of the example FLUX workflows in their model repo.
- Their README provides the workflow file directly but does not add much hand-holding beyond the download links and a few related node references.
- The public workflow listing describes it as using Flux Redux to generate image variants by transferring style from reference imagery.

## Our notes

- This is one of the more interesting "useful not flashy" FLUX workflows because reference-guided variation is an actual production use case.
- Good fit when you want to keep composition or visual DNA from a source image while pushing the result toward a new look.
- Simpler dependency surface than the all-in-one graph.

## Required custom nodes

- `StyleModelLoader`
- `StyleModelApply`

These may come from your existing FLUX / Comfy build depending on version, but if they do not, expect to install the matching style-model support used by the source workflow.

## Built-in / core nodes used

- `CheckpointLoaderSimple`
- `CLIPVisionLoader`
- `CLIPVisionEncode`
- `CLIPTextEncode`
- `KSampler`
- `VAEDecode`

## Notes

- Best use: style transfer, guided variation, and reference-led experimentation.
- This is not the most node-heavy workflow here, which makes it a decent first import after the basic setup is stable.
