Researchers have introduced VeraRetouch, a novel framework designed for multi-task photo retouching that is both lightweight and fully differentiable. This system utilizes a 0.5 billion parameter Vision-Language Model to generate retouching plans based on image analysis and user instructions. VeraRetouch replaces traditional external editing software with a differentiable renderer, allowing for end-to-end pixel-level training and optimization. The framework also incorporates a million-scale dataset, AetherRetouch-1M+, and a reinforcement learning strategy, DAPO-AE, to improve aesthetic judgment and enable deployment on mobile devices. AI
