LayerEditor generates reusable RGBA layers during instruction-guided image edits
Original title: Editing Images into Reusable Layers via Compositional Edit-Prior Distillation
The method distills a pretrained editing prior into both the canvas and layers composed from LayerEditor-100K.
Researchers introduce LayerEditor, a framework that pairs instruction-guided image editing with controllable generation of ordered reusable RGBA layers. In-Context RGB-Alpha Token Modeling represents the edited canvas and layer sequence in one token sequence. Compositional Edit-Prior Distillation transfers the pretrained editing prior to the canvas and to the image composed from predicted layers. The authors also release LayerEditor-100K and dedicated layered-editing benchmarks.
- Existing editors flatten outputs, limiting local edits and layer reuse.
- Training uses LayerEditor-100K, paired edits with ordered RGBA annotations.
- Experiments claim strong editing fidelity plus accurate RGBA layers.

High-quality image editing requires precise modification of target regions while preserving the content of unrelated regions. Existing editing models produce flattened outputs that limit precise local manipulation and layer reuse, while decomposition methods typically optimize layer recovery separately from instruction-driven editing.
