DALL-E & ChatGPT Images
DALL-E (built into ChatGPT) is the most accessible AI image generator — if you use ChatGPT, you already have it. Strengths: text rendering, editing existing images, and conversational iteration. Describe what you want, refine through conversation.
DALL-E excels at text in images — signs, logos, labels. Midjourney and others struggle with this. Use DALL-E when your image needs readable text.
You can upload an existing image and ask DALL-E to modify it: 'change the background to a beach' or 'make it nighttime'. Powerful for editing.
Be conversational: 'Make it warmer', 'zoom out a bit', 'add more detail to the background'. DALL-E responds to natural direction.
For consistent character design across multiple images, describe the character in detail once and reference it in subsequent prompts.
