Qwen Image Edit 2511: change one locked still (3cr)

Qwen Image Edit 2511 is an edit. Point at the object. A new text-to-image throws away the still you approved. Alibaba's description: an image editing model that enables precise modifications to existing images based on textual instructions. It supports object removal, style transfer, and content transformation. Categories: edit-image and image-to-image. Requires an image. 3 credits list, currently discounted to 2. No duration. Audio empty. You already have the frame. This row changes a piece of it.

The Qwen roster also has other image and edit slugs. Best image editing model is the category ranking. The photo editor tool is the launcher. This page is 2511.

Instruction, not a new prompt

Requires an image. There is no "describe a bottle from scratch" on this slug. Upload the locked still. Write the change: remove the cup on the left, swap the cap to matte black, keep the label. A full scene prompt is how you accidentally restyle the face you already signed.

Object removal, style transfer, content transformation — those are the listed tasks. They all assume a source file. If you do not have a source file, you wanted text-to-image, not 2511.

max_reference is 6. Extra images are context for the edit, not a new identity hunt. Keep them on-model with the still you are changing.

Aspects: 1:1, 5:4, 4:5, 5:6, 3:2. Match the source. Do not ask an edit row to become a 9:16 poster it was not given.

Three credits list, two on the discount

The snapshot marks the row discounted: discount_percent 50, discounted_credits 2, display_price 2, display_original_price 3. The assignment list price is 3. Budget 3, enjoy 2 while the flag is on, do not build a pipeline that assumes 2 forever.

Either number is cheaper than regenerating a photoreal hero and hoping the face comes back. Re-rolling Flux or Seedream to delete a reflection is the expensive way to do object removal.

After the edit, the file is still a still. Animate it on image-to-video only when the object you pointed at is gone and the label you kept is the label.

Removal, transfer, transform — one locked file

Style transfer on an approved still is a look change, not a new cast. Content transformation is a specified change, not "make it cooler." Point. Name the object. Name what replaces it, or name that it disappears.

Do not use 2511 as a generator with a blank canvas. requires_image is true; the job will not run honestly without the plate.

The Qwen Image Edit slug is a different row (instruction edits with a text-in-image emphasis). 2511 is the 2511 snapshot: 3 credits list, discounted to 2, edit-image plus image-to-image, up to 6 refs, requires the still.

Change one thing. Export. Then decide if it moves.

FAQ

Can I generate a new image from text only?

No. requires_image is true. Text-only is a text-to-image slug.

What does the discount mean?

List is 3 credits. The snapshot currently shows 50% off to 2 credits. Plan against 3 so a discount expiry does not surprise a batch.

Will this animate the still?

No. Image content type, empty durations. It edits pixels. Motion is a later row.

When should I re-generate instead of edit?

When the composition is wrong, not when a cup is in the frame. Regeneration throws away the lock. 2511 is for pointing at the cup.
