KINESYS framework enhances image editing by preserving source content during effect transfer

Researchers have developed KINESYS, a novel test-time adaptation framework designed for effect-reference editing in images. This system aims to accurately transfer desired visual effects from a reference image while preserving the original content and composition of the source image. KINESYS employs a robust optimization strategy, fine-tuning the generative model across multiple noise samples and optimization runs to achieve diverse and faithful edits. Evaluations indicate that KINESYS surpasses current state-of-the-art image editors in source preservation and remains competitive with models like Nano Banana 2 in effect transfer. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve the fidelity and control of AI-powered image editing tools, enabling more precise visual effect application.

    KINESYS: Test-Time Adaptation for Reference-Based Effect Editing in Images

    arXiv:2610.33292v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual effects are often easier to demonstrate via reference than to describe in words. We study effect-reference editing, where a reference image shows a desired visual effect and language identifies which properties should guide t…
