SmartPhotoCrafter: Unified Reasoning, Generation and Optimization for Automatic Photographic Image Editing

SmartPhotoCrafter is an end-to-end framework for automatic photographic image editing that reformulates traditional editing as a closed-loop reasoning-to-generation process. Unlike prior methods that rely on explicit user instructions, our approach autonomously identifies aesthetic deficiencies, reasons about improvement strategies, and performs targeted edits without human prompts.

✨ Highlights

Fully Automatic Editing – No user instructions or parameters required; the model completes the closed loop of quality assessment → reasoning → editing autonomously.
Dual Capability – Supports both image restoration (denoising, deblurring, low-light enhancement) and image retouching (color, tone, contrast enhancement).
Aesthetic Reasoning – Explicitly generates image quality analysis and editing suggestions, improving interpretability.
High-Fidelity Generation – Preserves original content structure while delivering photo-realistic outputs with high tonal/color semantic sensitivity.
Reinforcement Learning Optimization – Jointly optimizes reasoning and generation modules, aligning editing trajectories with human aesthetic preferences.

😉 Demo Inference

We provide scripts for both automatic and manual editing. Automatic editing only requires inputting one image, while manual editing requires adding a prompt.

Automatically edit reasoning scripts

bash scripts/inference/automatic-edit.sh

Manual edit reasoning scripts

bash scripts/inference/manual-eidt.sh

Script example

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python infer.py \
    --model_path "ckpt/Qwen-Image-Edit-2509" \
    --dit_path "ckpt/DiT.safetensors" \
    --vlm_path "ckpt/text_encoder" \
    --image_path "example/841012.png" \
