ControlNet Preprocess SoftEdge

ControlNet Preprocess SoftEdge extracts smoother, more organic edge structure from an input image for ControlNet conditioning. It is useful when the goal is to preserve contours and layout without the harsh binary boundaries of Canny, especially for painterly, naturalistic, or softer illustration workflows.
