Lo! Behold the wonders of ChatGPT, for it hath embarked on a quest for improvement, unveiling unto the world its latest multi-modality update, adorned with a plethora of features that doth delight the heart when it cometh to images. Verily, it hath the skill to draw, the skill to edit the images thou bestow upon it — or thou mayest bid it craft something and then wield the brush of editing upon it. Yea, this masterpiece may be wrought through words alone, or with the aid of extra materials and specifications to guide it towards thy desired changes.
Anon, let us delve into the art of using ChatGPT to edit images.
How to edit images in ChatGPT
To embark on the journey of image editing in ChatGPT, thou must possess the knowledge of wielding a GPT model that hath the capacity for such tasks. Alas, though OpenAI’s new GPT-4o model doth make its way to free users across the land, as of this writing, it doth not possess the full image-editing prowess. Hence, thou wilt likely require a ChatGPT Plus subscription to partake in the art of image editing with ChatGPT for the nonce. But fear not, for the winds of change shall blow in the future, when ChatGPT becomes a multi-modal AI chatbot accessible to all.
For further enlightenment on the nature of ChatGPT Plus and how to join its ranks, peruse our guide to ChatGPT subscriptions.
Step into the realm of image editing with ChatGPT
The first step on this arcane path is to navigate unto the ChatGPT website and there gain entry.
Next, beseech ChatGPT to bring forth a drawing for thee, or present it with an image using the paper clip attachment tool, or proffer unto it a link to an image.
Shouldst thou have uploaded or linked an image, provide ChatGPT with a prompt detailing the changes thou dost desire. Be specific in thy instructions, offer suggestions on art styles, or direct its gaze upon a specific aspect of the image.
Shouldst thou ask ChatGPT to craft an image for thee, thou mayst delve deeper into particulars. Select the image and then wield the selection tool in the uppermost corner to delineate certain parts for editing. Grasp the tool, and with a deft hand, draw around like a painter’s brush to mark the areas for manipulation.
Once this task is complete, impart thy prompt into the text field, guiding ChatGPT on what thou wishest it to alter or add.
Lo! Be mindful that prompt editing is not yet an exact science, but reminiscent of the art it doth emulate. Thy results shall vary greatly based on the text thou providest the AI and thine selection, as well as the AI model in use — for GPT-4 is vastly different from GPT-4o.
Experiment with the editing by selecting diverse portions of the image, altering thy prompt text, or including supplementary materials to illuminate the AI on thy desires.
How fares image editing in ChatGPT?
The veritable answer lieth in the realm of “not bad.” When fortune smiles upon thee, it worketh wondrously well, allowing thee to refine text in an image, or expunge undesired elements from the background. Its efficacy is akin to that of Photoshop’s generative AI functions.
Yet when misfortune strikes, it may act contrary to thy wishes, or remain inert. In many a trial whilst crafting this guide, ChatGPT boldly proclaimed it hath heeded my requests, only to reproduce the original image in its entirety sans alteration. Shouldst thou challenge it, it may simply conjure a new rendition from the initial prompt.
Thus, ChatGPT doth not serve as a fitting substitute for Photoshop (or its ilk) when expertise is required. However, if thou seek to alter an image in more fundamental ways, such as changing its art style, then its efficacy is much greater.
