Apple researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence model that allows users to describe in simple language what they want to change in the photo. At the same time, you can adjust images without even touching photo editing software.
The MGIE (MLLM-Guided Image Editing) model, which Apple worked on with the University of California, Santa Barbara, allows you to crop, resize, flip and add filters to images using text prompts. This model can also be used for more advanced image editing tasks, such as changing certain objects in a photo to give them a different shape or make them brighter.
MGIE combines two different types of use of multimodal language models. First, it learns to interpret the user's cues. It then “imagines” what the edit would look like (for example, asking for a bluer sky in a photo causes the sky portion of the image to be brightened).
When editing a photo using MGIE, users simply need to type what they want to change in the image. For example, when editing an image of a pepperoni pizza, you can type the prompt “make it healthier” and the model will add vegetable toppings. The photo of tigers in the Sahara looks dark, but after the models were told to “add more contrast to simulate more light,” the image became brighter.
“Instead of brief but ambiguous directions, MGIE reveals clear visual intent and results in intelligent image editing,” — says the researchers' article.
Apple has made MGIE available for download via GitHub and has also released a web demo of Hugging Face Spaces. The company did not specify its future plans for this model.
