FIELD REPORTS/IMAGE/ISSUE #127

Edit and combine your photos into one image, placing each element where you choose

Most image tools make you pick one way to ask for a change: describe it in words, or point at where it goes. This one takes both. You say what you want, then draw a box for where it should land.

Field notes

01 What it does

You upload up to ten photos and write what you want. "Put a red bandana around the dog's neck." "Print the dog from the second photo onto the mug in the first." It returns one new image built from your references. With no photos, it works as a regular image generator, and it can letter short text like a poster title into the picture.

The difference is placement. You draw a rectangle on the canvas for each element: a sticker in the top right corner, a window on the left wall, a figure moved further up a hill. Then you move, recolor, replace or remove an element by pointing at its box. Boxes guide position and size but are not a hard cutout, so an object can spill slightly past its edges.

It comes from Black Forest Labs, the team behind the FLUX image models. A separate helper model first expands your short request into the detailed scene description the image model needs, and the demo runs that step for you.

02 How to try it

A community copy of Black Forest Labs' demo runs the same interface in your browser. On the Generate & edit tab, upload a photo of your pet and one of a plain mug, and ask it to print the pet onto the mug. Check the background closely: that is where edits drift. Then open the Bounding boxes tab and run the "Move the knight" example to watch one object shift while the scene stays put. Running it yourself takes a data center GPU, about 31 GB of graphics memory plus roughly 28 GB for the helper.

03 Caveat

Edits can change details outside the area you asked about, a very small box may not produce its object, and lettering can come out misspelled. Free for non-commercial use; commercial use of the images is limited to people and companies under US$5M in yearly revenue.

04 What you can do with it

  • Place your product into a scene photo you already have, exactly where you want it.
  • Lay out a poster by boxing the title, photo and logo, then generate it in one go.
  • Remove or swap one object by boxing it, without redrawing the whole frame.
  • Combine elements from several reference photos into a single mockup.
