OpenAI will now let you edit your AI-generated DALL-E images

Artificial intelligence has ensured we turn our words into works of art within seconds. Not only has this minimised the need to source images specific to our requirement but has also opened up a horizon of possibilities across various fields.

OpenAI’s DALL-E is also a text-to-image model that allows users to generate visuals of their choice. But a new update will soon let you tweak the final output if you’re dissatisfied with it.

How to edit images on DALL-E

A section on DALL-E help was updated this week with instructions on using the tool. The first method involves highlighting a section of the image you wish to change. Apart from this, there is also a second way, which makes relevant changes to the image using the chat sidebar.

If you wish to tweak only a section of your image, you can use the new select button (which looks like a paintbrush) to add, remove or highlight these parts. After selecting, you may have to add text in the chatbox to give you accurate results.

For instance, highlighting a hockey stick in the picture and typing a prompt to replace it with flowers. While this tool works best with the DALL-E laptop app, you can also operate it using a stylus or your finger with the smartphone app.

The second method will only need you to make changes to your original prompt if you wish to edit the existing image. This means you can type ‘make the image blue’ instead of white or black.

With OpenAI’s DALL-E and Sora, there’s a lot in store for visual and content creators in the near future. Don’t forget to watch this space for more developments within the field.
