# StableCascade_EmptyLatentImage - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

> The StableCascadeEmptyLatentImage node creates empty latent tensors for Stable Cascade models.

The StableCascade\_EmptyLatentImage node creates empty latent tensors for Stable Cascade models. It generates two separate latent representations - one for stage C and another for stage B - with appropriate dimensions based on the input resolution and compression settings. This node provides the starting point for the Stable Cascade generation pipeline.

## Inputs

| Parameter     | Description                                                                                                                     | Data Type | Required | Range                  |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | -------- | ---------------------- |
| `width`       | The width of the output image in pixels (default: 1024, step: 8)                                                                | INT       | Yes      | 256 to MAX\_RESOLUTION |
| `height`      | The height of the output image in pixels (default: 1024, step: 8)                                                               | INT       | Yes      | 256 to MAX\_RESOLUTION |
| `compression` | The compression factor that determines the latent dimensions for stage C (default: 42, step: 1). This is an advanced parameter. | INT       | Yes      | 4 to 128               |
| `batch_size`  | The number of latent samples to generate in a batch (default: 1)                                                                | INT       | No       | 1 to 4096              |

Note: The `compression` value controls the stage C latent size: its height and width are the input `height` and `width` divided by `compression`. The stage B latent always uses a fixed compression of 4.

## Outputs

| Output Name | Description                                                                                           | Data Type |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- |
| `stage_c`   | The stage C latent tensor with dimensions \[batch\_size, 16, height//compression, width//compression] | LATENT    |
| `stage_b`   | The stage B latent tensor with dimensions \[batch\_size, 4, height//4, width//4]                      | LATENT    |
