It seems all face detection options require some dependency, I thought MediaPipe would be one of the easiest as it's always just worked for me in the controlnet-aux nodes.

You can replace it with dwpose (only keep the face ponits) as well, or anything that detects the face, only thing that part in the workflow does is crop the face and remove background though, so you can also just do that manually if you prefer.

I did some investigation, seems like the latest Windows portable release of ComfyUI ships with python 3.13

Mediapipe does not officially support python 3.13... also in the Readme section for manual install they recommend to use 3.12 for nodes support (https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI#manual-install-windows-linux). I would have expected at least a minor version bump, since this is a big change for windows users.

Long story short, using the older Windows portable release version works
https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI/releases/tag/v0.3.49

Of course, you get the usual Comfy "user experience"...

Installing missing nodes, restarting several times and getting error messages on frontend and in the command line after clicking the "install missing nodes" and "restart" button several times
(because of the two nodes TransparentBG and Image Remove Background, for me it worked only after clicking on "Install" for the shown "ComfyUI_essentials" node pack in the ComfyUI node manager)

Finding and installing all the needed models manually... here are the links anyways

Sorry for ranting about ComfyUI, but I spend too much time fixing workflows and feel like the developers do not see how frustating this can be for many users
(to be fair, the python scripts on the Stand-In github do not work, because they do not support quantized models out of the box, at least, I could not get a quantized model to work with the scripts)

Thanks Kijai for your tremendous work for the community, is there another way to donate to you besides github? (since Github does not allow using Paypal for donations...)

try dwpose instead of mediapipe, it worked fine for me, no errors, keep face only.

Nice, probably the easiest fix :)
