DALL-E Now Lets You Edit the AI Images You Generate, Here’s How
Apr. 3, 2024While OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 excels at generating stunning visuals from simple prompts, it hasn’t reached the industry standard set by Midjourney. That’s partly due to the lack of a robust editing suite. This is a concern of the past. DALL-E has unwrapped its new editor interface with one key feature – the ability to select and regenerate specific portions of images with new prompts.
The update was shared insideOpenAI’s help pagewhich now highlights thenew editor interfacein all its glory. This interface comes with a Select option that you can use toadd, remove, and update elementsin your generated image. You can select any area or multiple areas depending on what you want to modify. Alternatively, you can bypass selection and directly describe your desired edits within the conversation panel on the right.
How to use DALL-E editor to regenerate specific portions of Images
The new editor interface on DALL-E 3 offers an easy way to select parts of an image that you want to edit. You can change the contents of the selected area with a modified prompt. Here’s how you do it.
DALL·E’s new editor interface isalso available on the ChatGPT app on iOS and Android. The instructions are more or less similar to the web editor. You can open an image, use the Select option, adjust the brush size, and describe your changes in the new prompt.
It’s important to note that the DALL-E editor isonly accessible to ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Enterprise members. So, you cannot use it to create or modify images if you have a free ChatGPT account. That means you’ll need to shell out at least $20 a month to try out the new feature. If that’s too much, you can opt for Midjourney’s Basic plan which costs $10 less and offers a similar feature called “Vary Region” to regenerate parts of an image.
So, what do you think of the new image interface on DALL-E? If you have already, did you find it useful or was OpenAI too late to change your mind? Let us know in the comments below.
