OpenAI has announced new image editing tools and preset style suggestions for premium users of its DALL-E 3 AI model, accessible within ChatGPT on both web and mobile apps.
These upgrades aim to enhance user experience and creativity in AI-generated image creation. Image editing tools are integrated directly within ChatGPT, enabling users to refine and customise AI-generated images easily. This includes options to adjust colours, add effects, and fine-tune details.
“The DALL·E editor interface enables you to edit images by selecting an area of the image to edit and describing your changes in chat. You can also provide a prompt with your desired edit in the conversation panel, without using the selection tool,” said OpenAI.
Users can edit an image by opening the image on ChatGPT’s web or mobile platforms. After that, they will have to click on the paintbrush icon and select the part of the image they want to edit.
Using the editing tool, users can, for example, remove the selection’s background, edit the face according to mood, and so on.
Additionally, DALL-E now offers preset style suggestions as starting points for creative endeavours. These style prompts, reminiscent of Android’s AI-generated wallpaper prompts, cover a range of aesthetics such as woodcut, gothic, synth wave, and hand-drawn styles.
Many experts are also concerned about the potential misuse of AI-generated pictures. These concerns include image authenticity, misleading historical images, racially inaccurate depictions, and privacy and intellectual property rights issues.
DALL-E 3 introduced visible watermarks and metadata on AI-generated images to mitigate these issues, a step towards ensuring transparency and trustworthiness.
These tools’ convenience upgrades the overall user experience, making AI-generated image creation more accessible to a wider audience.
In February, OpenAI released Sora, a text-to-video tool that can generate minute-long videos. This tool goes a step further than text-to-image creation.
