The intersection of art and life brings forth thought-provoking questions – does life inspire art or does art inspire life? With the introduction of OpenAI’s DALL-E 2, artistry can now capture an array of concepts, limited only by one’s imagination. This text-to-art platform empowers users to generate images based on text inputs, transcending the need for traditional art supplies. While this process may seem remarkably straightforward – present your idea as text, and images manifest – there are several tips and tricks to maximize realism and precision in image creation.
How to use:
OpenAI recently unveiled DALL-E 3, the latest iteration of its AI image generator, accessible to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise subscribers, as well as through the Bing Image Creator. Although DALL-E 3 is not widely available in OpenAI Labs, coming soon, according to the company’s fall announcement.
Using DALL-E 2 to generate images:
To begin generating images, visit OpenAI Labs and either create a new account or sign in. The platform is accessible via web browser or mobile device. Once logged in, users can enter a descriptive prompt into the text input bar, initiating the image generation process.
To optimize the quality of generated images, it is crucial to articulate the prompt with great detail and specificity. Mentioning an art style, as well as indicating the positions of subjects within the image, aids in conveying the desired outcome. Following this, select “Generate” and review the resulting images. If adjustments are needed, refine the prompts to achieve the intended representation.
Saving and utilizing the generated images:
Upon selecting the desired image, save it to the DALL-E 2 gallery. Options to save to “Favorites” or collections in a Pinterest-board style are available. Furthermore, the artwork can be downloaded, printed, and shared with others.
Tips and tricks for optimal DALL-E 2 results:
