# Black Forest Labs launches Flux 3 Image with non-destructive editing

*2026-10-02 · Source: [The Decoder](https://the-decoder.com/black-forest-labs-launches-flux-3-image-with-multi-step-editing-that-leaves-the-rest-of-your-picture-alone/)*

Flux 3 Image supports multi-step edits that leave the rest of the picture unchanged. Users can compose scenes with bounding boxes and up to ten reference images, with output up to 4K. Open weights are promised in the next few weeks.

**Why it matters:** Edit consistency across repeated passes has been a main weakness of image models, so this targets a real workflow gap. The planned open-weight release would also keep pressure on closed image tools, in line with recent open image releases such as Qwen's 7B model.

**Topics:** products, open source
