Text-to-image diffusion models have recently received increasing interest for their astonishing ability to produce high-fidelity images from solely text inputs. Subsequent research efforts aim to exploit and apply their capabilities to real image editing. However existing image-to-image methods are often inefficient imprecise and of limited versatility. They either require time-consuming fine-tuning deviate unnecessarily strongly from the input image and/or lack support for multiple simultaneous edits. To address these issues we introduce LEDITS++ an efficient yet versatile and precise textual image manipulation technique. LEDITS++'s novel inversion approach requires no tuning nor optimization and produces high-fidelity results with a few diffusion steps. Second our methodology supports multiple simultaneous edits and is architecture-agnostic. Third we use a novel implicit masking technique that limits changes to relevant image regions. We propose the novel TEdBench++ benchmark as part of our exhaustive evaluation. Our results demonstrate the capabilities of LEDITS++ and its improvements over previous methods.
