Wavelet-Guided Semantic Signal Compensation for Inversion-Free Image Editing

Text-guided image editing aims to modify visual content according to a target prompt while preserving the background. Recent inversion-free image editing frameworks such as FlowEdit have demonstrated strong editing capability without requiring inversion. Empirically, FlowEdit can achieve substantial semantic changes under appropriate hyperparameter settings. However, we observe that under certain global attribute shifts, the editing trajectory may not effectively move away from the source distribution in the early timesteps. Our analysis suggests that in the high-noise regime, the dominant man
