Qwen-Image-2.1 hands-on: new open-source editing standard with 10 reference images and native RGBA output
listopalafoto · reddit · 2026-09-20
An early-access tester calls Qwen-Image-2.1 a new standard for open models: precise targeted edits ("make the horse blue, goat black, dress white"), consistent 10-image references, pixel-precise 2K output, near-closed-model text rendering, and native RGBA transparency via a specific prompt syntax. Weaknesses: overly deep blacks in high-contrast scenes and 10% oversaturated reds in skin, both fixable in ComfyUI workflows.
