Extra Info
I tested newly arrived Qwen-Image-Edit-Lightning-8steps-V1.0 (arrived after tutorial recorded) and definitely our existing preset which uses Qwen-Image-Lightning-8steps-V1.1 is better than it, so this tutorial and presets are still 100% best quality and up-to-date.
Info
Qwen Image Edit just has been published and since then I have been experimenting to prepare you this amazing tutorial. I have literally shown 26 unique cases and provided demo images and prompts. After watching this tutorial your image editing skills will move to next level i promise you that. Also this tutorial will give you a lot of ideas.

Introduction
We are excited to introduce Qwen-Image-Edit, the image editing version of Qwen-Image. Built upon our 20B Qwen-Image model, Qwen-Image-Edit successfully extends Qwen-Image’s unique text rendering capabilities to image editing tasks, enabling precise text editing. Furthermore, Qwen-Image-Edit simultaneously feeds the input image into Qwen2.5-VL (for visual semantic control) and the VAE Encoder (for visual appearance control), achieving capabilities in both semantic and appearance editing. To experience the latest model, visit Qwen Chat and select the "Image Editing" feature.
Key Features:
Semantic and Appearance Editing: Qwen-Image-Edit supports both low-level visual appearance editing (such as adding, removing, or modifying elements, requiring all other regions of the image to remain completely unchanged) and high-level visual semantic editing (such as IP creation, object rotation, and style transfer, allowing overall pixel changes while maintaining semantic consistency).
Precise Text Editing: Qwen-Image-Edit supports bilingual (Chinese and English) text editing, allowing direct addition, deletion, and modification of text in images while preserving the original font, size, and style.
Strong Benchmark Performance: Evaluations on multiple public benchmarks demonstrate that Qwen-Image-Edit achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in image editing tasks, establishing it as a powerful foundation model for image editing.
