Extra Info
I tested newly arrived Qwen-Image-Edit-Lightning-8steps-V1.0 (arrived after tutorial recorded) and definitely our existing preset which uses Qwen-Image-Lightning-8steps-V1.1 is better than it, so this tutorial and presets are still 100% best quality and up-to-date
Info

After watching this tutorial your image editing skills will move to next level i promise you that. Also this tutorial will give you a lot of ideas.

Introduction
We are excited to introduce Qwen-Image-Edit, the image editing version of Qwen-Image. Built upon our 20B Qwen-Image model, Qwen-Image-Edit successfully extends Qwen-Image’s unique text rendering capabilities to image editing tasks, enabling precise text editing. Furthermore, Qwen-Image-Edit simultaneously feeds the input image into Qwen2.5-VL (for visual semantic control) and the VAE Encoder (for visual appearance control), achieving capabilities in both semantic and appearance editing. To experience the latest model, visit Qwen Chat and select the "Image Editing" feature.
Key Features:
Semantic and Appearance Editing: Qwen-Image-Edit supports both low-level visual appearance editing (such as adding, removing, or modifying elements, requiring all other regions of the image to remain completely unchanged) and high-level visual semantic editing (such as IP creation, object rotation, and style transfer, allowing overall pixel changes while maintaining semantic consistency).
Precise Text Editing: Qwen-Image-Edit supports bilingual (Chinese and English) text editing, allowing direct addition, deletion, and modification of text in images while preserving the original font, size, and style.
Strong Benchmark Performance: Evaluations on multiple public benchmarks demonstrate that Qwen-Image-Edit achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in image editing tasks, establishing it as a powerful foundation model for image editing.

Massed compute already has installed swarmui. So you just run update button there. But install comfyui and give its backend. This video shows all check video chapters : https://youtu.be/8cMIwS9qo4M?si=FqHmbhv66e5k3DIn

How I do install and run SwarmUI on Massed Compute? The ZIP file with the model downloader only seems to have installation instructions for Windows and Runpod.

it depends on what you are trying to do. at some tasks sadly it is failing. but for my demo prompts it should work. generate at least 4 images with random seed to be sure

I followed your tutorial which I think is amazing, there were definitely moments when I had to do some deep diving as it doesn't cover some basic things like which folder does what. I am sure you have it in another video somewhere, I am now generating images which is great. Down side is it 50/50 doesn't use my image that I supplied for it to edit. I am using your prompts unchecked Init image, followed the resolution trick you showed, but for the life of me can't figure out why it won't use my photos. Reaching out to see if I may have missed something. Thanks in advance!

well you must report this to swarmui developer. he would fix

The video was saying to install swam ui nodes by clicking the Windows_Install_Update_SwarmUI_Nodes.bat bat file. I clicked that and then told to restart the server (thinking that might be related to the problem of the Lora bit still not working in the preset for qwen image edit), so after it restarted the server it said: 16:33:04.527 [Warning] [ComfyUI-0/STDERR] Traceback (most recent call last): 16:33:04.528 [Warning] [ComfyUI-0/STDERR] File "H:\ComfyUI-from-SECourses-new-install\ComfyUI\nodes.py", line 2129, in load_custom_node 16:33:04.528 [Warning] [ComfyUI-0/STDERR] module_spec.loader.exec_module(module) 16:33:04.529 [Warning] [ComfyUI-0/STDERR] File "", line 879, in exec_module 16:33:04.530 [Warning] [ComfyUI-0/STDERR] File "", line 1016, in get_code 16:33:04.531 [Warning] [ComfyUI-0/STDERR] File "", line 1073, in get_data 16:33:04.532 [Warning] [ComfyUI-0/STDERR] FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'H:\\ComfyUI-from-SECourses-new-install\\ComfyUI\\custom_nodes\\SwarmUI_ExtraNodes\\__init__.py' 16:33:04.533 [Warning] [ComfyUI-0/STDERR] why does it seem like clicking the update swarmui nodes bat file has messed up the comfyui installation?

I saw that qwen now has controlnet, but I seem to fail with getting them to work in swarm ui. Is there something I do or is it just not supported yet? Anyone have an idea?
Furkan Gözükara
probably comfyui or swarmui not up to date. i recommend fresh install comfyui as in this video and give its backend path : https://youtu.be/fTzlQ0tjxj0
