Qwen-Image-Edit Skill
AI-powered image editing using Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 via RunPod serverless.
Status: Evolving - learnings being captured as we experiment
When to Use This Skill
Use when the user wants to:
- Edit/transform photos while preserving identity
- Reframe cropped images (fix cut-off heads, etc.)
- Change clothing, add accessories
- Change pose (arm positions, hand placement)
- Apply style transfers (cyberpunk, anime, oil painting)
- Adjust lighting/color grading
- Add/remove objects
- Character transformations (Bond, Neo, etc.)
When NOT to Use
- Background replacement (single image) - creates cut-out artifacts, halos
- Face swapping - cannot preserve identity from reference
- Outpainting - can't extend canvas reliably
Use With Care
- Multi-image compositing - CAN work with explicit identity anchors (see examples.md for prompt patterns). Requires describing distinctive features (hair texture/color, ethnicity, outfit) and using guidance ~2.0
- Camera angle changes - Inconsistent results. Vertical angles (low/high) work better than rotational (three-quarter view)
Quick Reference
# Basic edit
uv run tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg --prompt "Add sunglasses"
# With negative prompt (recommended)
uv run tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg \
--prompt "Reframe as portrait with full head visible" \
--negative "blur, distortion, artifacts"
# Style transfer
uv run tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg --style cyberpunk
# Background (use cautiously - often fails)
uv run tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg --background office
# Higher quality
uv run tools/image_edit.py --input photo.jpg --prompt "..." --steps 16 --guidance 3.0
# Multi-image composite (identity-preserving)
uv run tools/image_edit.py --input person.jpg background.jpg \
--prompt "The [ethnicity] [gender] with [hair description] from first image is now in [scene] from second image. Same [features], [outfit]." \
--negative "different ethnicity, different hair color, different face shape, generic stock photo" \
--steps 16 --guidance 2.0
