Question

How can I edit images with ChatGPT?
~ Tony

Answer

Hello Tony,

If they still had their old image models then I wouldn’t recommend editing images at all.  Luckily, they do have a more capable image model and editing is pretty straightforward.

The process is -

    1. Attach your starting image(s) to the prompt
    2. Write a prompt that clearly explains the change(s) that you want
    3. ChatGPT will generate a new image for you
    4. Review the new image and if it isn’t what you wanted, write a follow-up prompt that includes what ChatGPT did not do correctly
    5. Repeat the review and follow-up process until you have something you like (or run out of patience)

The new image model also creates images much faster which is helpful with editing. 

Let us know if you would also like us to create a video that demonstrates this process.

 

Hope that helps.
