TarPro: Targeted Protection against Malicious Image Editing

Understand

The rapid advancement of image editing techniques has raised concerns about their misuse for generating Not-Safe-for-Work (NSFW) content.

• This necessitates a targeted protection mechanism that blocks malicious edits while preserving normal editability.
• However, existing protection methods fail to achieve this balance, as they indiscriminately disrupt all edits while still allowing some harmful content to be generated.
• To address this, we propose TarPro, a targeted protection framework that prevents malicious edits while maintaining benign modifications.
