How To Edit Images With Dalle-3 Full Tutorial (Dalle-3 Inpainting)

Introduction

Welcome to this comprehensive tutorial on how to utilize Dall-E 3's inpainting feature, particularly in light of its recent update. This powerful tool allows users to edit images easily and creatively. In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to get started from scratch and provide step-by-step guidance on editing images to add unique features.

Getting Started

First and foremost, ensure you are using GPT-4, as it is the version that supports Dall-E 3. If you're still on the default GPT-3.5, you won't have access to the newest functionalities available.

Creating an Image

To get started, you’ll want to generate an initial image. For this example, let’s create an image of a cartoon cat. Simply input the prompt into the chat, and wait for Dall-E 3 to process your request.

Once done, you’ll notice the generated cartoon cat image.

Using the Inpainting Tool

Select the Image: Click on the image you just created.
Select Tool: In the top right corner, you’ll see a select tool. This is where the editing magic happens.
Adjust Brush Size: You’ll find a brush size slider at the top left. Adjust this according to the area you wish to edit. If you’re planning on adding features like sunglasses, set the brush to the size of the eyes.
Make Your Selection: Highlight the area where you want to make changes. For instance, selecting the eyes will allow you to add sunglasses.
Provide Context: After making your selection, you need to type a prompt for Dall-E to understand what you want. For instance, you can ask, "Can you put sunglasses in there?"
Wait for Processing: Once you hit enter, allow Dall-E 3 about 20 to 30 seconds to regenerate the image with your requested edits.

Tips for Effective Editing

Use a Larger Brush: If you find that your changes weren't applied accurately, try increasing the brush size. Dall-E 3 may not recognize smaller selections, so providing more area for context helps in ensuring accurate adjustments.
Add Text: You can also edit the text within your image. For instance, you might want to label your cartoon cat by writing "Mr Cat" in the top right corner.
Experiment and Adjust: If Dall-E adjusts the wrong parts of the image, feel free to experiment further. Play with various selections and queries until you achieve the desired outcome.
