What's new in Qwen Edit v2511:

 

1) Improvements to portrait edits.

Version 2509 tended to make unwanted changes to the appearance or pose of the person in a portrait during an edit. That problem has been fixed in version 2511. Here's some tips for portrait edits.

Prompt:  color this photo, make it a modern high-resolution digital photograph, and show her with a modern wavy bob haircut
Guidance Scale:  1.2

This looks like a modern photo, but it looks a bit less like Audrey Hepburn to me.

Guidance Scale:  1.2

Guidance Scale:  1.8

Guidance Scale:  2.5
All 3 of the images above use the same prompt. The only difference is the guidance scale.
Prompt:  color this photo, make it a modern high-resolution digital photograph without changing her facial features, and show her with a modern wavy bob haircut

 

2) Better character combinations.

Qwen 2511 can combine up to 3 characters beautifully. In this example, 2 anime characters are combined with a photorealistic woman using a simple prompt, yet all 3 characters have the correct features and look great together. 

Prompt:  put all 3 characters together in the same scene. they should be gathering flowers from a wildflower field.

Things to know about Qwen Image Edit:

 

1) The size of your render depends on the size of your initial image.

If your initial image is 768x960, your render in Qwen Image Edit will be 896x1160. Why? Qwen Image Edit creates images in the same aspect ratio as the original, but the pixel size is approximately 1 million pixels (1024x1024). The 768x960 image has a 4:5 aspect ratio. The closest size to 1 million pixels with measurements divisible by 8 and a 4:5 aspect ratio is 896x1160.

 

2) Changing the Guidance Scale has more impact with Qwen Image Edit than with Qwen Lightning

 

(Using the above image) 
Prompt:  this cat should be stretched out on a window sill in an urban street, in a painterly modern pencil sketch

Negative Prompt:  -

Guidance Scale:  1.4

You can add 1 or 2 additional reference images when using Qwen Image Edit.
