Tech giant Apple has unveiled a new AI image tool that lets users edit their photos without even touching editing software.

The agency quoted media reports as saying that the MGIE model (MLLM-Guided Image Editing) can crop, resize, flip, and add filters to images through text prompts. Let us tell you that Apple has worked on this with the University of California, Santa Barbara.

MGIF can be applied to both simple and more complex image editing tasks such as modifying specific objects in a photo to give them a different shape or make them brighter.

This model blends two different uses of multimodal language models. First, it learns how to interpret user prompts. Then it visualizes what editing will look like.

The researchers reported that instead of brief but vague guidance, MGIE captures clear scene-aware intentions and leads to correct image editing.

Researchers also said that we conduct extensive studies from various editing aspects and show that our MGIE effectively improves performance while maintaining competitive efficiency.

Other Image Editing Tools
Let us tell you that other image editing platforms, such as OpenAI's DALL-E 3, can perform easy photo editing on images created through text input. At the same time, Photoshop maker Adobe also has its own AI editing model. Its Firefly AI model powers Generative Fill, which adds generated backgrounds to photos.

Although Apple has not been a big player in the generative AI space, unlike Microsoft, Meta, or Google, CEO Tim Cook has said the company is looking to add more AI features to its tools this year.
