Using InstantID with ReActor ai for faceswap

Using InstantID with ReActor ai for faceswap

I was looking online on the best face swap ai around in comfyui, I stumbled upon InstantID & ReActor as the best 2 for now. I was comparing between both.

InstantID is better quality, more flexible results. It excels at preserving a person’s identity while adapting it to various styles and poses, even from a single reference image. This makes it a powerful tool for creating stylized portraits and artistic interpretations. While InstantID’s results are often superior, the likeness to the source is not always perfect.

ReActor on the other hand is highly effective for photorealistic face swapping. It can produce realistic results when swapping a face onto a target image or video, maintaining natural expressions and lighting. However, its performance can be limited with varied angles and it may produce pixelation artifacts. It also struggles with non-photorealistic styles, such as cartoons. And some here noted that ReActor can produce images with a low resolution of 128×128 pixels, which may require upscaling tools that can sometimes result in a loss of skin texture.

So the obvious route would’ve been InstantID, until I stumbled on someone who said he used both together as you can see here.

Which is really great idea that handles both weaknesses. But my question is, is it still functional? The workflow is 1 year old. I know that ReActor is discontinued but Instant ID on the other hand isn’t. Can someone try this and confirm?
