Replacing an object with one that differs in category or shape requires complete source removal, natural target formation unconstrained by the source silhouette, and preservation of unrelated content. Existing training-free editors either localize edits from terminal predictions under source and target prompts or preserve unrelated content through spatially unselective source-feature reuse without explicit region discovery.
SR-Edit is a new image editing framework that uses iterative self‑refinement to improve fidelity. At each step it extracts precise, self‑consistent region separations from the model’s predictions and then enforces preservation in non‑edit areas with correction updates that stay aligned with the original sampling dynamics. Experiments show that SR‑Edit delivers better preservation and overall image quality than existing editing techniques.

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.
