contents Image manipulation localization (IML) and general vision tasks are typically treated as two separate research directions due to the fundamental differences between manipulation-specific and semantic features. In this paper, however, we bridge this gap by introducing a fresh perspective: these two directions are intrinsically connected, and general semantic priors can benefit IML. Building on this insight, we propose a novel trainable adapter (named ReVi) that repurposes existing off-the-shelf general-purpose vision models (e.g., image generation and segmentation networks) for IML. Inspired by robust principal component analysis, the adapter disentangles semantic redundancy from manipulation-specific information embedded in these models and selectively enhances the latter. Unlike existing IML methods that require extensive model redesign and full retraining, our method relies on the off-the-shelf vision models with frozen parameters and only fine-tunes the proposed adapter. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our method, showing the potential for scalable IML frameworks.
