October 2026 HCI paper on adaptive controls for image editing. Atelier combines image context and a user's editing intent to compose persistent, adjustable widgets, exposing proposed parameters for refinement instead of returning only a finished image.

Why Atelier Adds New Signal:
1. Intent becomes controls: A vision-language model selects editing operations and initial values from the image and request
2. Persistent manipulation: Users adjust, remove, combine, and reuse controls across whole images, objects, or selected regions
3. Practitioner evidence: An eight-person formative study informs the system; a 12-person comparison finds a preference for AI-composed controls and more exploration
4. Control remains unresolved: Participants still struggled to understand proposed controls and values; editability alone did not ensure transparency or a stronger sense of control
