Text-guided image editing is widely needed in daily life, ranging from
personal use to professional applications such as Photoshop. However, existing
methods are either zero-shot or trained on an automatically synthesized
dataset, which contains a high volume of noise. Thus, they still require lots
of manual tuning to produce desirable outcomes in practice. To address this
issue, we introduce MagicBrush (https://osu-nlp-group.github.io/MagicBrush/),
the first large-scale, manually annotated dataset for instruction-guided real
image editing that covers diverse scenarios: single-turn, multi-turn,
mask-provided, and mask-free editing. MagicBrush comprises over 10K manually
annotated triples (source image, instruction, target image), which supports
trainining large-scale text-guided image editing models. We fine-tune
InstructPix2Pix on MagicBrush and show that the new model can produce much
better images according to human evaluation. We further conduct extensive
experiments to evaluate current image editing baselines from multiple
dimensions including quantitative, qualitative, and human evaluations. The
results reveal the challenging nature of our dataset and the gap between
current baselines and real-world editing needs.
