DuplexBridge is a unified image‑editing model that coordinates its own understanding and generation capabilities without relying on an external module. It uses a source‑grounded bridge to specify editing targets, final‑state changes, and preservation constraints, and employs reciprocal trust checks to selectively share global task feedback while maintaining independent local supervision. The system, evaluated on the new CE‑Bench and other benchmarks, achieves 21.75–25.75 percentage points higher complete compliance than direct editors and demonstrates the effectiveness of distinct local responsibilities with selective shared feedback.
Complex image editing requires faithful task interpretation and accurate execution, but a failed edit does not reveal which responsibility failed. We present DuplexBridge, which uses a unified model's...
Recent breakthroughs in instruction-based image editing have captured significant attention, as models are now capable of handling real-world editing demands with the practicality required by everyday users. However, editing models trained primarily for single-turn edits often break down in multi-turn editing--the natural interactive setting where a user iteratively refines an image based on the model's own previous outputs.

PrismGPT is a Vision‑Language Model that generates structured, region‑aware photo‑editing plans from a single image, without relying on commercial black‑box tools. It learns to diagnose aesthetic issues globally and locally while predicting precise editing parameters, using proxy‑guided learning with operation decomposition and region‑aware aesthetic ranking to bootstrap the model. A competence‑based dynamic scheduler shifts training focus from proxy tasks to the main editing task as skills improve, and all reasoning traces for fine‑tuning are self‑synthesized by the model itself. Experiments on MIT‑Adobe FiveK and a new professionally retouched benchmark, SPIRE, show PrismGPT achieves state‑of‑the‑art results using only about 6% of the training data required by previous methods.

VINCIE‑NExT is a unified framework that transfers image editing capabilities to video editing by using in‑context visual demonstrations. It decomposes video editing into a chain of sub‑tasks (Video → Image → Image → Video), routing editing intent through the image domain and enabling joint training from heterogeneous image and video data under a single diffusion objective. The method introduces a novel position encoding to link image demonstrations and video frames, allowing pixel‑faithful appearance propagation, and supports test‑time scaling through progressive diffusion stages.
arXiv:2606. 08016v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current image editing software often hinges on fixed filters or expert tuning, leaving a gap between amateur users' intent and outcomes.
The paper introduces RC‑GRPO‑Editing, a region‑constrained Group Relative Policy Optimization framework for flow‑based image editing. It localizes exploration by decoupling initial noise perturbations to reduce background‑induced reward variance and adds an attention concentration reward to keep cross‑attention focused on the intended editing region. Experiments on CompBench demonstrate consistent gains in instruction adherence within the editing region while better preserving non‑target content.
Semantically Aligned Gradient-Driven Context-Preserving Image Editing (IABEdit) is a model‑agnostic framework that embeds differentiable semantic verification into the training of generative image editors. By using a frozen vision‑language model to extract spatially‑aware descriptors from ground‑truth edits and a trainable aligner to reproduce them from generated outputs, the residual becomes a gradient that teaches the generator both what to edit and where, without adding inference‑time VLM cost. IABEdit is compatible with various backbones (e.g., U‑Net in Stable Diffusion and MMDiT in FLUX) and improves structural fidelity on MagicBrush, achieves state‑of‑the‑art instruction adherence on RealEdit and EMU Edit, and outperforms the proprietary Gemini agent on the D‑LORD surveillance benchmark under heavy occlusion. "whyItMatters":"IABEdit demonstrates that incorporating semantic verification during training can produce more accurate, well‑localized edits and outperform existing methods even in challenging surveillance scenarios, as shown by its superior metrics and human/GPT‑4o evaluations."
