AI Image alignment solution for Qwen Image 2.1 Edits

I designed a node to align any pair of images trying to correct the pixel drift on Qwen Image 2.1

Proof1 community thread

Key points

  • Qalign is a node for geometrically aligning an enhanced or generated image to a reference image while preserving the source image's appearance, so can be used for align Qwen Image 2.1 Edits
  • I know there are other nodes solving this but with my approach you can basically align images with crazy differences in position , rotation and warp with automatic estimation when images share enough recognizable structures
  • You can find my recommended parameters for normal Qwen Edits in the last image posted
  • Hybrid and Affine paths use phase correlation to obtain an initial translation estimate and then refine the transformation with multi-scale ECC (Enhanced Correlation Coefficient) image alignment
