How accurate is AI image editing technology?

Seeing how accurate AI image editing technology is now, I'm honestly a little shocked! It used to take half a day to fix a photo, but now AI can do it in an instant. But just how accurate can it be? Take Qwen-VLo for example, it can not only do the basic background change, adjust the color tone, even "the photo of the character wearing a necklace replaced by a pearl necklace" this kind of super-specific requirements can be accurately executed, which has far exceeded the scope of the ordinary P picture.

I deliberately tested several common editing scenarios: first of all, face repair, AI can not only remove blemishes, adjust the lighting, the most extreme is that it can intelligently make up for the outline of the ear obscured by the hair, and make up for the part of the skin color and texture with the original picture of the sense of no contradiction. Another example is the dress-up function, I changed a T-shirt into a polo shirt, the collar and buttons of the details of the restoration is simply amazing, even the folds of the clothes followed the change, which was unimaginable half a year ago.

When AI Meets Specialization

What surprises me most is the accuracy of AI in the professional field. A jewelry designer friend tried to find that AI can render his hand-drawn design sketches directly into 3D renderings, gemstone cutting surface, metal reflections of these details are not the slightest difference. There are also people who have tested the orthodontic prediction effect, AI generated after the correction of the teeth alignment, and the actual orthodontic results of the match can reach 92% or more! This kind of accuracy is no longer a simple image processing, but more like a professional's work aid.

Of course, the AI is not infallible. Tests have found that it is prone to errors when dealing with very small text (less than 10 pixels), and the success rate for super-specific instructions such as "turn the third tree on the right into a pine tree" is about 70%. But if you think about the time it takes for a human designer to do all this, and AI is now able to give us a usable solution in 10 seconds, the price/performance ratio really can't be overstated. Some studios are already using AI to complete the basic editing work of 80%, professionals only need to do the final 20% fine-tuning, efficiency gains beyond imagination.

The little details that make it amazing

What impresses me most about AI's image editing is the "humanized" precision processing. For example, when coloring black-and-white photos, it will automatically determine that different materials should use different coloring algorithms - the coloring effect of silk and cotton is very different; when repairing old photos, it can not only fill in the missing parts, but also according to the age of the photo to automatically match the details of the popular hairstyles at that time. Once I uploaded a family photo from the 90's, even the "Panda Pan Pan" sticker in the background was perfectly preserved after AI repair, and this accurate grasp of the characteristics of the era is what really reflects the maturity of the technology.
