Grok

The new Edit Image button makes editing images a breeze! Quick tweaks, adjustments, and creative edits are now easier than ever.

Can you edit an existing image on Grok Imagine?

I've been wondering if there are some alternatives to the Grok's (new?) image editor feature that can be run locally without any cost. The one where you provide an image, specify what needs to be edited / added etc, then it gives a few results. I don't need image to video, just editing the static photos.

(Preferably with little to no censorship)

Just in case I'll say that I'm running Arch linux with an all-AMD setup:
- GPU: RX 7600;
- CPU: Ryzen 5 5600.

While browsing the web I found that perhaps stablediffusion could potentially work, but I'm just not sure if it will work as close to Grok as possible, I'm not really that knowledgeable regarding different models and what are they used for, so I'll try my luck and ask people here.

Thank you in advance!

General Adjustments

1. Brighten the Image

   • Hey, this pic’s way too dim—can you lighten it up? Make it feel all sunny and happy, like a perfect day.

2. Make Colors More Vibrant

   • The colors are decent, but I want them to really jump out at me—can you boost them so they’re super bold and lively?

3. Adjust Contrast

   • Everything’s kinda mushy here—can you tweak the contrast? I want the details to pop so I can actually see what’s happening.

4. Change the Background

   • The background’s blah and boring—how about switching it to something cool, like a deep purple fade? That’d look so much better.

5. Crop the Image

   • There’s all this extra junk around the edges—can you chop it down to just the guy in the center? He’s the star of the show anyway.

Adding or Removing Elements

1. Add a Red Sports Car

   • This needs some pizzazz—how about sticking a slick red sports car over on the side? That’d totally kick it up a notch!

2. Insert Birds in the Sky

   • The sky’s just sitting there—can you throw in some birds soaring around? It’d make it feel more alive and free.

3. Remove a Tree

   • That tree on the right is bugging me—it’s blocking everything. Can you zap it out of there?

4. Add Text

   • I want this to say something—can you add big, chunky white letters at the top that say ‘Good Vibes Only’? That’d set the mood.

5. Add a Dog

   • This pic’s missing some cuteness—how about popping in a scruffy little beagle right up front? I’d melt every time I see it!

Style and Mood Changes

1. Vintage Black-and-White

   • I’m feeling all retro today—can you make this look like an old black-and-white snapshot? Like something my grandma would’ve framed.

2. Watercolor Painting Style

   • This is too crisp for me—can you blur it into a soft, flowy watercolor? I’m craving that dreamy, artsy feel.

3. Rainy Day Mood

   • I’m in a chill mood—can you turn this into a rainy day with dark clouds and wet streets? Perfect for curling up with tea.

4. Cyberpunk Style

   • I’m hooked on sci-fi vibes—can you make this a glowing cyberpunk city with neon signs everywhere? Make it crazy cool

5. Cartoon Version

   • This is too serious—can you turn it into a goofy cartoon with thick lines and wild colors? Let’s have some fun with it!

Specific Object Modifications

1. Change Shirt Color

   • That dude’s shirt is so dull—can you swap it for a bright red one? It’d totally wake up the whole pic.

2. Modify the Cat

   • I’m not vibing with this gray cat—can you make it a fluffy white one instead? Way cuter in my book.

3. Turn Car into Motorcycle

   • The car’s okay, but I’d love a motorcycle more—can you change it to a shiny silver bike? That’d be epic.

4. Change Hair Style

   • Her straight black hair’s fine, but I’d rather see it curly and red—can you switch it up? It’d look so much sassier.

5. Replace Coffee Mug

   • Coffee’s not my jam—can you ditch the mug and put in a tall glass of iced lemonade? That’s more my speed!

Combining Instructions

1. Brighten and Add Sunset

   • This feels dark and meh—can you brighten it and slap a gorgeous pink sunset in the back? I want warm, cozy vibes.

2. Remove People and Change to Night

   • Too many folks cluttering this up—can you clear them out and make it a quiet night with twinkly stars? Super peaceful.

3. Make It a Snowy Scene

   • I’m dreaming of winter—can you add snow falling and turn the house into a little wooden cabin? It’d feel so toasty.

4. Sharpen, Add Rainbow, Change Grass

   • This is fuzzy and flat—can you sharpen it, toss in a rainbow on the right, and swap the grass for a golden desert? Let’s mix it up!

5. Sci-Fi Transformation

   • I’m in a spacey mood—can you transform this into a sci-fi world with a floating drone and glowing blue plants? Go nuts with it!

I’ve been messing around with Grok’s natural language prompts to tweak and transform images, and honestly, it’s been way too much fun. Thought I’d share a few of the prompts I threw at it—some of these results had me cracking up or just straight-up impressed. Here’s a taste:

• Hey, this pic’s way too dim—can you lighten it up? Make it feel all sunny and happy, like a perfect day." (Grok nailed it—suddenly, it’s like the sun came out and everything’s glowing.)

• The colors are decent, but I want them to really jump out at me—can you boost them so they’re super bold and lively?" (Boom, instant eye candy. The colors went from “meh” to “whoa!”)

• This needs some pizzazz—how about sticking a slick red sports car over on the side? That’d totally kick it up a notch!" (And just like that, there’s a shiny red car chilling in the scene. Grok gets me.)

• I’m feeling all retro today—can you make this look like an old black-and-white snapshot? Like something my grandma would’ve framed." (Nailed the vintage vibe—feels like I found it in an attic.)

• This is too serious—can you turn it into a goofy cartoon with thick lines and wild colors? Let’s have some fun with it!" (It’s like Grok turned the image into a Saturday morning cartoon. Pure chaos, and I love it.)

Seriously, if you haven’t tried this yet, you’re missing out. It’s like having a magic wand for your pics—just describe what you want, and boom, it happens. Now I’m curious—what’s the coolest (or weirdest) edit you’ve done with AI? Got any pro tips for getting the best results with Grok? Drop your thoughts in the comments—I’m here for all the AI shenanigans. And if you found this helpful, smash that upvote button so more people can join the fun!Happy editing, Redditors!

I’ve only been fiddling with Grok 3 image editing for a few days, and my conclusion is:

It sucks.

Not only does it suck, but it sucks hard. I’m a clothing photographer and couldn’t even edit a photo of my model wearing workout clothes, which included a sports bra. All I wanted to do was change the color of her gym shorts from white to blue. Of course Grok “moderates” it and blocks the upload.

I can make this change in Photoshop, but it takes way longer and I have a shit load of images to edit from this photo shoot. Grok won’t even allow a perfectly tame image of a woman in workout garb to be uploaded for editing? How is this improving anything?

However, I’m not ruling out the fact that I could be doing something wrong, but I don’t think so. Grok is apparently moderated even worse than Reddit.
