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.
arXiv:2606. 05950v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-guided image editing has advanced rapidly with diffusion models and unified multimodal foundation models.
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.

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.
WeAgent-MMGenEdit is a comprehensive framework for multimodal agentic image generation and editing that addresses the unreliability of current models when prompts require external world knowledge. It introduces a multimodal harness with persistent evidence management, a scalable data construction pipeline producing 23K supervised trajectories and 14.7K RL tasks, and a bilingual benchmark (WeBench-MMGenEdit) for knowledge-intensive generation and multi-image editing. Post‑training methods based on SFT and RL further refine the agent policy and image backend, enabling a 30B‑parameter policy to outperform similarly sized models and approach the performance of a 1T‑parameter agent.
arXiv:2608. 20161v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Instruction-based image editing uses a planner-renderer pipeline: a vision-language model (VLM) first converts the instruction into an edit plan, and a diffusion model then executes that plan.
Recent advances in unified multimodal models have significantly improved text-guided image editing abilities. In particular, models such as Nano-Banana-Pro and GPT-Image-2 demonstrate emerging capabilities in multi-source image editing (MIE), including tasks such as object synthesis, person-background composition, and cross-image style fusion.

arXiv:2606. 11751v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-turn image editing is essential for iterative design, yet current models often struggle with identity drift and error accumulation over successive steps.
arXiv:2607. 05465v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Complex image creation and editing often require more than a single generation or editing model.
