Retouch photographs using ByteDance's SeedEdit 3.0

What is this Pixelflow?

SeedEdit by ByteDance is an AI model that supports fast, high-quality image editing and is a powerful tool for app developers and creators. While handling complex prompts with impressive accuracy, its core strength lies in its ability to preserve the content, i.e., it can produce desired results without modifying the vital details of the original image, which makes it unique. You can highlight the critical details within the image, including faces, identities, or specific regions, and mark them for no modification; this will ensure those aspects remain precisely intact while you get your desired image result. SeedEdit is significantly advanced in image editing, outperforming GPT Image 1 and Gemini 2.0.

If you also combine SeedEdit with Topaz's Image Upscaler, it creates an efficient workflow that can be used to retouch the images for high-resolution results, excellent for magazines or premium website images.

How does this Pixelflow Work?

Using Pixelflow is quite a breeze; first, use the SeedEdit 3.0 model by providing a detailed prompt to edit the original image by selecting the various parameters and controlling the scale of editing. Then use the Topaz Image Upscaler model to enhance the resolution to achieve professional-grade images.

How to Customize it?

We have used the following template in the example:

I) Edit this photo shoot image of a model. Apply the following edits using SeedEdit:

• •Skin Retouching: [smoothness level: low/medium/high], preserve natural skin texture.
• •Lighting & Exposure: [brightness: -2 to +2], [contrast: -2 to +2], [shadow recovery: off/low/high].
• •Color Balance & Tone: [skin tone: warm/neutral/cool], [saturation: low/medium/high].
• •Facial & Body Refinement: [adjustments: none/subtle/moderate], focus on [eyes/hair/jawline/body shape].
• •Background Cleanup: [remove distractions: yes/no], [background blur: none/soft/strong].

Tip: Keep the result natural and high quality, avoiding over-editing.

II) Once the image editing is complete, we send it to the Topaz Image Upscaler model to increase the resolution to 2x (or 4x, 6x) for finer details, smoother gradients, and crisper edges.
