Evaluating Multi-Step Edits

When a prompt contains multiple instructions (e.g., "Remove the object on the left AND increase the brightness of the central figure"):

1. Deconstruct the Prompt: Break the prompt down into its individual components.
2. Check Each Component: Evaluate whether each edited image successfully completes every component.
3. Partial Success: If an image only completes one of the two instructions, it should receive a lower Instruction Following score (e.g., 2 or 3) compared to an image that completes both.
4. Over-editing: Ensure that global adjustments (like brightness) are only applied to the specified areas (e.g., "central figure") and not the entire image, unless requested.
