Abstract
As a highly practical application, image editing encounters a variety of user demands and thus prioritizes excellent ease of use. In this paper, we unveil MagicQuill, an integrated image editing system designed to support users in swiftly actualizing their creativity. Our system starts with a streamlined yet functionally robust interface, enabling users to articulate their ideas (e.g., inserting elements, erasing objects, altering color, etc.) with just a few strokes. These interactions are then monitored by a multimodal large language model (MLLM) to anticipate user intentions in real time, bypassing the need for prompt entry. Finally, we apply the powerful diffusion prior, enhanced by a carefully learned two-branch plug-in module, to process the editing request with precise control. We will release the entire system to facilitate the community.
Tutorial
I. Three type of magic quills
Use the add brush to add details and elements guided by prompts - express your ideas with your own lively strokes!
"With just a few strokes, a vivid little deer comes to life"
"Adorn the beautiful lady with a necklace"
The subtract brush can remove excess details or redraw areas based on prompts. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just subtract it away!
"A dolphin with two tail fins? Let's give it a quick 'treatment'!"
"Let's take off Mr. Skeleton's hat and help him cool down."
&Combine the add and subtract brushes to create amazing combo effects!
"Let's give Mona Lisa a pet cat~"
"Let's give this handsome fellow a new tie!"
The color brush can precisely color the image, matching the color of your brush~
"Precise color highlighting - paint exactly where you want to color"
"Don't you think the blue flowers look more dreamy than the pink ones?"
*Please note the color brush and add&subtract brush are mutually exclusive - you can only use one at a time!
II. Draw and Guess
Our brush is super smart! Look at the examples above - as soon as you finish drawing, it quickly guesses what you want to create and fills in the prompts for you~ Sometimes it might guess wrong though, so feel free to tell it what you actually want to draw~
"Oops! I don't want to draw a vine, I want to create a path!"
III. Super useful canvas tools!

Made a mistake with the brush? Just erase it with the rubber tool!
Drag, rotate, and resize your strokes with the cursor - just like when you're working in PowerPoint!

Left is ctrl+z, right is ctrl+y - you know what that means! 😊
And for Mac users, left is command+z, right is command+shift+z! 😝

IV. Notes
When you see the spinning icon in the bottom left corner, it means the magicquill is still charging up 💪 Wait for it to disappear before clicking the Run button!
When the magic wand is flashing, our brush is working hard to guess what you're trying to draw 🤔 Please be patient! 🙏
