Adobe Photoshop is among the most recognizable pieces of software ever created, used by more than 90% of the world’s creative professionals, according to Photutorial.
So the fact that a new open source AI model — Qwen-Image Edit, released yesterday by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba’s Qwen Team of AI researchers — is now able to accomplish a huge number of Photoshop-like editing jobs with text inputs alone, is a notable achievement.
Built on the 20-billion-parameter Qwen-Image foundation model released earlier this month, Qwen-Image-Edit extends the system’s unique strengths in text rendering to cover a wide spectrum of editing tasks, from subtle appearance changes to broader semantic transformations.
Simply upload a starting image — I tried one of myself from VentureBeat’s last annual Transform conference in San Francisco — and then type instructions of what you want to change, and Qwen-Image-Edit will return a new image with those edits applied.
