    Apple made an AI image tool that lets you make edits by describing them

    Apple researchers released a new model that lets users describe in plain language what they want to change in a photo without ever touching photo editing software.

    The MGIE model, which Apple worked on with the University of California, Santa Barbara, can crop, resize, flip, and add filters to images all through text prompts. 

    MGIE, which stands for MLLM-Guided Image Editing, can be applied to simple and more complex image editing tasks like modifying specific objects in a photo to make them a different shape or come off brighter. The model blends two different uses of multimodal language models. First, it learns how to interpret user prompts. Then it “imagines” what the edit would look like (asking for a bluer sky in a photo becomes bumping up the brightness on the sky portion of an image, for example).

    When editing a photo with MGIE, users just have to type out what they want to change about the picture. The paper used the example of editing an image of a pepperoni pizza. Typing the prompt “make it more healthy” adds vegetable toppings. A photo of tigers in the Sahara looks dark, but after telling the model to “add more contrast to simulate more light,” the picture appears brighter.

    “Instead of brief but ambiguous guidance, MGIE derives explicit visual-aware intention and leads to reasonable image editing. We conduct extensive studies from various editing aspects and demonstrate that our MGIE effectively improves performance while maintaining competitive efficiency. We also believe the MLLM-guided framework can contribute to future vision-and-language research,” the researchers said in the paper. 

    Apple made MGIE available through GitHub for download, but it also released a web demo on Hugging Face Spaces, reports VentureBeat. The company did not say what its plans for the model are beyond research.

    Some image generation platforms, like OpenAI’s DALL-E 3, can perform simple photo editing tasks on pictures they create through text inputs. Photoshop creator Adobe, which most people turn to for image editing, also has its own AI editing model. Its Firefly AI model powers generative fill, which adds generated backgrounds to photos.
