Key notes

  • DALL-E now has an editing interface for refining generated images.
  • Users can select areas and describe changes in text chat, or describe edits for the whole image.
  • Editing tools are also available on the ChatGPT mobile app.

OpenAI has announced the release of an editing interface for DALL-E, its image generation system. This update allows users to modify specific areas of their generated images through text descriptions.

The DALL-E editor offers two primary editing methods:

  • Selection-based editing: Users can select a specific area of a DALL-E-generated image and provide a text description of their desired changes within a chat interface.
  • Conversational editing: Users can directly describe their edits in the chat window, without needing to select a specific area. This approach is suitable for edits that affect the entire image.

The DALL-E editor is also available on the ChatGPT mobile app, mirroring the desktop functionality with both selection-based and conversational editing options.

This update provides more control over the image generation process, which allows users to refine specific details of their creations. The ability to edit DALL-E outputs opens possibilities for various applications, such as:

  • Improving the accuracy or realism of specific elements within an image.
  • Introducing new visual components to an existing image.
  • Modifying stylistic aspects of the generated image.

Overall, introducing editing tools represents a significant advancement for DALL-E, offering users more granular control over their image generation workflows.
