Systems and methods combine an input image with an edited image generated using a generator neural network to preserve detail from the original image. A computing system provides an input image to a machine learning model to generate a latent space representation of the input image. The system provides the latent space representation to a generator neural network to generate a generated image. The system generates multiple scale representations of the input image, as well as multiple scale representations of the generated image. The system generates a first combined image based on first scale representations of the images and a first value. The system generates a second combined image based on second scale representations of the images and a second value. The system blends the first combined image with the second combined image to generate an output image.
