New framework SafeMark preserves watermarks during image editing

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed SafeMark, a new framework designed to preserve watermarks in images even after text-guided editing. This approach integrates a watermark-decoding loss into the training objective of diffusion editors, ensuring that semantic edits do not compromise the integrity of the embedded watermark. Evaluations show that SafeMark maintains high watermark accuracy and semantic quality across various datasets and editing scenarios, demonstrating the compatibility of editability and watermark preservation for trustworthy image provenance. AI

IMPACT Enables trustworthy image provenance in generative editing pipelines by ensuring watermark integrity.

    Are Watermarked Images Editable? SafeMark for Watermark-Preserving Text-Guided Image Editing

    arXiv:2605.19511v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper investigates a fundamental yet underexplored question: can watermarked images remain editable without compromising watermark integrity? We propose SafeMark, a framework for watermark-preserving text-guided image manip…
