Unleashing AI Artistry: Editing Images with ChatGPT
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been revolutionising industries across the globe, and the world of art and design is no exception. With the latest multi-modal update to ChatGPT, users can now edit images using simple text prompts or more advanced selection tools. In this article, we’ll explore how to use ChatGPT to edit images and discuss its capabilities and limitations.
Getting Started with ChatGPT Image Editing
To edit images in ChatGPT, you’ll first need access to a GPT model with image-editing capabilities. While OpenAI’s new GPT-4o model is being rolled out to free users, it currently lacks the full range of image-editing features. As a result, you may need a ChatGPT Plus subscription to access this functionality for the time being.
Once you have access to the appropriate model, follow these steps to edit images with ChatGPT:
- Navigate to the ChatGPT website and sign in.
- Ask ChatGPT to draw something for you, upload an image using the paper clip attachment tool, or provide ChatGPT with a link to an image.
- If you’ve uploaded or linked an image, give ChatGPT a prompt detailing the changes you want it to make. Be specific, provide art style suggestions, or indicate which part of the image to focus on.
If you’ve asked ChatGPT to create an image for you, you can be more specific with your edits. Use the selection tool in the top right to choose specific portions of the image to edit. Click and drag around the areas you want to select for editing.
Prompt: “Change the colour of the woman’s dress to red and add a sunset background.”
Keep in mind that image editing with ChatGPT is still an emerging technology, and results may vary. Experiment with different prompts, selections, and supplemental materials to achieve your desired outcome.
Assessing ChatGPT’s Image Editing Capabilities
So, how well does ChatGPT perform when it comes to image editing? The answer is “not bad.” When it works, it can produce impressive results, such as fine-tuning text in an image or removing unwanted background elements. Its effectiveness is comparable to Photoshop’s generative AI functions.
However, ChatGPT’s image editing capabilities are not without their limitations. In some cases, it may fail to make the desired changes or even do the opposite of what was requested. During testing, ChatGPT occasionally claimed to have made alterations when it had actually recreated the original image without any changes.
Prompt: “Add a cat to the scene.”
While ChatGPT may not yet be a suitable replacement for professional image editing software like Photoshop, it can still be a valuable tool for those looking to make more creative changes to their images. For example, ChatGPT excels at altering an image’s art style or adding new elements in a way that traditional software may struggle with.
