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.

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.

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.
