The present disclosure describes multi-stage image editing techniques to improve detail and accuracy in edited images. An input image including a target region to be edited and an edit parameter specifying a modification to the target region are received. A parsing map of the input image is generated. A latent representation of the parsing map is generated. An edit is applied to the latent representation of the parsing map based on the edit parameter. The edited latent representation is input to a neural network to generate a modified parsing map including the target region with a shape change according to the edit parameter. Based on the input image and the modified parsing map, a masked image corresponding to the shape change is generated. Based on the masked image, a neural network is used to generate an edited image with the modification to the target region.
