arXiv:2606. 01213v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Despite tremendous recent progress, current text-guided image editing methods still struggle with many aspects of editing involving instruction following, minimally editing the source image, and ensuring high visual quality.

arXiv:2607. 21318v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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.

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.
