Abstract

In implementations of jointly editing related objects in a digital image, an image editing application segments a first object in a digital image, and an additional object corresponding to the first object, such a shadow cast by the first object, a reflection of the first object, or an object of a same object class as the first object. Respective stick diagrams for the first object and the additional object are generated, and a mapping of the first object to the additional object is generated based on the stick diagrams. Based on a user request to edit the first object, such as to warp the first object, the first object and the additional object are jointly edited based on the mapping. Accordingly, realistic digital images are efficiently generated that maintain correspondence between related objects, without requiring a user to edit each object individually, thus saving time and resources.
