Patch Toggle

What is it for?

• Comparing an image with and without manual corrections
• Temporarily disabling a patch
• Switching a patch with a Bool condition

Overview

Turns a patch ON or OFF without deleting it. Compare results with and without manual corrections or apply a correction conditionally while retaining the patch itself.

Usage tips

• Think of it as gate for patches. OFF emits an empty patch, meaning no correction.
• It is useful for review: each time you adjust generation, toggle the patch to reassess whether the correction is still needed.
• Drive enabled with a Bool wire for conditional application, such as changing the correction by seed.

Related nodes

• pixel_patch — supplies the patch to toggle
• patch_apply — applies it downstream
• gate — the equivalent concept for general values
• compare — builds the condition for enabled

Notes

• A connected enabled input takes priority over the parameter.
• OFF does not delete the patch; it emits an empty patch with the same target dimensions.
• If patch is unconnected, the node emits an empty patch, so connecting it directly to PatchApply is safe.

Examples

1. Pixel Patch.patch -> PatchToggle -> PatchApply
   • Compare the result with and without the manual correction immediately.
2. Compare -> PatchToggle.enabled
   • Enable the patch conditionally.
