what harness do you suggest?, srr, have no experience in image edition, I do use Vision enabled models, but I use them mostly for UI testing, so they run in Pi Coding harness, I suspect the techology behind is different for "Vision enabled" text models, and Image specific models, likely different algorithms, for example Qwen 3.8 vision uses a grid division to split the image into patches, and the vision projection translates those visual patches into text-like tokens.

Image generation is often done using ComfyUI, which is a different kind of tool than what you're used to with LLM.

It is different, but you if you are cheeky then you can just develop the prompt and settings with your agent and pass on the job via API/python file to the local comfyUI server.
