AI-generated overview

Prompt patterns and parameter guidance for editing images with Qwen-Image-Edit, including identity-preserving edits and style transfers.

What it does
This skill supplies prompting patterns, parameter tuning advice, and worked examples for AI image editing with Qwen-Image-Edit-2511 through a RunPod serverless endpoint. It covers identity-preserving photo edits, reframing cropped images, clothing and accessory changes, pose changes, style transfers, lighting and color grading, object addition or removal, and character transformations. It also lists cases to avoid or treat cautiously, such as single-image background replacement, face swapping, outpainting, and multi-image compositing.
When to use it
Use it when a user wants to edit or transform photos while keeping the subject's identity, fix cropped framing, change clothing or accessories, adjust poses, apply style transfers, or perform character transformations. It also helps when tuning steps, guidance, and negative prompts for such edits.
Requirements
Requires access to a RunPod serverless endpoint running Qwen-Image-Edit-2511, plus the referenced CLI wrapper and supporting documents. The skill itself is instructions only and ships no scripts.

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

bash
# Basic edituv 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 transferuv 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 qualityuv 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
