Recent diffusion editors perform diverse instruction-based edits while conditioning on the source image at every denoising step. Yet persistent source-image conditioning can limit how fully an edit is executed and how natural the result appears, especially when the target scene diverges substantially from the input.

RefineEdit is a training‑free prompt‑to‑prompt image editing framework that uses a Generative Refinement Network to edit images by refining binary image codes. It couples edit localization with content generation, selecting editable positions based on signed probability differences between an editing branch and a source branch, and stabilizes edits with adaptive spatial freezing and finite bit locking. The method requires no additional training, external masks, or attention control, and outperforms other methods on PIE‑Bench in background‑preservation metrics and CLIP scores.

The paper introduces "overpainting," a localized, context-aware image editing technique that allows users to specify precise or loose editing regions via a trimap. The method adapts a pretrained diffusion model with joint attention and low‑rank adaptation, incorporating attention‑dropout to balance noise, source, and mask inputs. An automated pipeline generates training data by pairing images from language‑based editing models, curating them, and extracting trimaps, enabling the model to perform a wide range of editing tasks.

MAST (Mask‑Guided Attention Control for Training‑Free Regional‑Multi Style Transfer) is a framework that enables diffusion models to apply multiple reference styles to user‑specified regions of a content image without any training or optimization. It introduces logit‑level attention mass allocation, sharpness‑aware temperature scaling, and discrepancy‑aware detail injection to address mass allocation, selectivity, and detail loss problems in regional‑multi style transfer. Experiments with two to five styles show that MAST outperforms baselines in ArtFID, FID, and R‑FID, achieving high regional style fidelity, content preservation, and scalability.
