Overpainting: Localized Context-aware Diffusion Image Editing

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 9, 2026 · UTC

We present "overpainting", an image editing operation which offers both control over the location of the edit and awareness of the previous content in that location. The overpainted area is given by a trimap, where white-annotated pixels must be edited, gray-annotated pixels may be edited, and black-annotated pixels must not be edited. This enables both precise and loose control, depending on user intent. We implement overpainting by adapting a pretrained image editing diffusion model using a combination of joint attention and low-rank adaption across input images with attention-dropout to bal
