• Abstract: Layer compositing is one of the most popular image editing workflows among both amateurs and professionals. Motivated by the success of diffusion models, we explore layer compositing from a layered image generation perspective. Instead of generating an image, we propose to generate background, foreground, layer mask, and the composed image simultaneously. To achieve layered image generation, we train an autoencoder that is able to reconstruct layered images and train diffusion models on the latent representation. One benefit of the proposed problem is to enable better compositing workflows in addition to the high-quality image output. Another benefit is producing higher-quality layer masks compared to masks produced by a separate step of image segmentation. Experimental results show that the proposed method is able to generate high-quality layered images and initiates a benchmark for future work.

  LayeringDiff is a novel pipeline for the synthesis of layered images. By extracting layers from a composite image, rather than generating them from scratch, LayeringDiff bypasses the need for large-scale training. For effective layer decomposition, we adapt a large-scale pretrained generative prior to estimate foreground and background layers.

  MaskSketch is an image generation method that allows spatial conditioning of the generation result using a guiding sketch as an extra conditioning signal during sampling. We show that intermediate self-attention maps of a masked generative transformer encode important structural information of the input image. Our results show that MaskSketch achieves high image realism and fidelity to the guiding structure.

  We propose a new method which can automatically generate high-quality image composites without any user input. Inspired by Laplacian pyramid blending, a dense-connected multi-stream fusion network is proposed to effectively fuse the information from the foreground and background images. Experiments show that the proposed method can automatically generate high-quality composites and outperforms existing methods both qualitatively and quantitatively.
