we propose CREval, a fully automated question-answer (QA)-based evaluation pipeline
Implicationpartial
This is explicitly stated in the abstract as a core contribution.

Evidencepartial
we introduce CREval-Bench, a comprehensive benchmark specifically designed for creative image manipulation under complex instructions. CREval-Bench covers three categories and nine creative dimensions, comprising over 800 editing samples and 13K evaluation queries.
Implicationpartial
This is explicitly stated in the abstract as a core contribution and described in detail.
Verificationpartial

Evidencepartial
The results reveal that while closed-source models generally outperform open-source ones on complex and creative tasks
Implicationpartial
This is stated in the abstract and supported by the mention of results from evaluating state-of-the-art models.

Evidencepartial
all models still struggle to complete such edits effectively.
Implicationpartial
This is stated in the abstract as a key finding from the model evaluations.
Verificationpartial

Evidencepartial
user studies demonstrate strong consistency between CREval’s automated metrics and human judgments.
Implicationpartial
This is explicitly stated in the abstract as a validation of the CREval framework.
Verificationpartial

Evidencepartial
current generative image generation and editing models still face significant challenges when handling complex instruction-based tasks, particularly in “free-style creative image editing” scenarios
Implicationpartial
This is stated in the introduction as a motivation for the proposed work.
Verificationpartial

Evidencepartial
Each edited image is evaluated across three metrics: Instruction Following (IF), Visual Consistency (VC), and Visual Quality (VQ).
Implicationpartial
This is explicitly stated in the description of the evaluation process.
