AI Image Generation in a New Dimension: Examples, Possibilities, and Tips
The new image generation feature in ChatGPT is causing a stir in the digital world. Users around the globe report a level of quality in AI-generated images that was previously unattainable. Especially impressive: The handling of embedded text and the overall visual quality clearly surpass previous models like DALL·E.
While earlier models often struggled with clear text, consistent elements, and realistic proportions, ChatGPT’s new image generation delivers sharp, coherent, and often immediately usable images. Graphic design has never been easier—no prior knowledge required.
Why is the new feature so powerful?
- Better text integration: Whether it’s a slogan, whiteboard, street sign, or label—text within images finally looks realistic and is correctly written.
- Higher image quality: The generated visuals appear more three-dimensional, detailed, and display improved lighting and shading.
- More intuitive handling: Prompts can be written in everyday language and still produce professional results.
- Image combination: Multiple photos or ideas can be merged into a single image.
- Edit images: Existing photos can be flexibly modified, such as removing or replacing objects, changing backgrounds, or retouching details.
Examples: Prompt Suggestions in Various Qualities
These prompts demonstrate just a few ideas from a huge range of possibilities. Besides the following images, you can also create comics, stickers, logos, T-shirt designs, or book covers in styles such as Pixel Art, Chibi, Ghibli, futuristic, realistic, and much more.
Realistic Portrait Quality
Prompt: “Create a hyper-realistic portrait of a beautiful woman with natural lighting, a neutral background, and finely detailed skin texture.”
Nature Scene with Depth
Prompt: “A husky with blue eyes sitting in the snow. The fur should be especially detailed, with visible breath in the cold air.”
YouTube Thumbnail for Knowledge Duel
Prompt: “Create a colourful YouTube thumbnail with the title: ‘Who knows more?’ On the left, a woman with a thoughtful expression; on the right, a man with a raised eyebrow and crossed arms. In the centre, a large question mark. Text: ‘Knowledge Duel!’ in a comic style. Background: studio setting with bookshelves.”
Example: Combine Images
You can upload up to three images and then merge them using a prompt. Here’s a high-quality example with the prompt: The images creatively blend together into a single portrait.
Example: Edit Images
If you click on the generated image, you can use the pen tool to mark areas you want to adjust. The new image will be generated based on the original, your markings, and the prompt you enter below the image. Please note that there may still be minor deviations from the original, as all input serves as a starting point for creating a new image.
Tip: You don’t necessarily need to draw on the image. You can simply describe your desired changes as detailed as possible in the new prompt field below the image.
Conclusion
The new image generation feature raises the quality of visual content to a new level. Especially the ability to correctly embed and display text makes it the ideal tool for marketing, social media, web design, and more.
For everyone who previously relied on external tools like Canva, Photoshop, or stock photo databases, this offers a new way to create visual content—directly, easily, flexibly, and for free.
