Qwen Image 2.1 Edit Character Swap Attempts Fall Short: Full Prompts Shared
DogeMoustache · reddit · 2026-09-27
A user reports that Qwen Image 2.1 Edit struggles with character swapping in image edits, sharing full prompts from two attempts:
- Swapping two women (a red-haired cyclist and a uniformed officer) while preserving faces, hair, clothing, poses, and background
- Replacing a character from image 1 with one from image 2 while keeping pose and the flat anime art style
Both turbo (8 steps) and standard (30-40 steps) sampling failed to perform the swap correctly. The shared prompts are useful reference for anyone probing the model's instruction-following and character consistency.
