• Abstract: Recent advancements in large generative models, particularly diffusion-based methods, have significantly enhanced the capabilities of image editing. However, achieving precise control over image composition tasks remains a challenge. Layered representations, which allow for independent editing of image components, are essential for user-driven content creation, yet existing approaches often struggle to decompose image into plausible layers with accurately retained transparent visual effects such as shadows and reflections. We propose $\textbf{LayerDecomp}$, a generative framework for image layer decomposition which outputs photorealistic clean backgrounds and high-quality transparent foregrounds with faithfully preserved visual effects. To enable effective training, we first introduce a dataset preparation pipeline that automatically scales up simulated multi-layer data with synthesized visual effects. To further enhance real-world applicability, we supplement this simulated dataset with camera-captured images containing natural visual effects. Additionally, we propose a consistency loss which enforces the model to learn accurate representations for the transparent foreground layer when ground-truth annotations are not available. Our method achieves superior quality in layer decomposition, outperforming existing approaches in object removal and spatial editing tasks across several benchmarks and multiple user studies, unlocking various creative possibilities for layer-wise image editing.

  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.

  We propose a training-free method, dubbed DiffUHaul, for the object dragging task. We first apply attention masking in each denoising step to make the generation more disentangled across different objects. In the early denoising steps, we interpolate the attention features between source and target images to smoothly fuse new layouts with the original appearance.
