📸 Creating Images with ChatGPT – GUIDE

✅ REQUIREMENTS

Access to a version of ChatGPT with image generation capabilities – e.g. ChatGPT-4 Turbo with the "image generation" feature (available in the Plus plan).

A clear concept or idea for the image you want to create – this could be a scene, object, poster, logo, illustration, etc.

🔧 STEP BY STEP

1. Start with a description

Enter a detailed prompt – a written description of what should appear in the image.

👉 What should you include in your description?

Subject: What do you want to show? (e.g. "an old wizard in a forest", "a minimalist bookmark with a tree", "a lakeside town at night")

Style: Realistic, fairytale, watercolor, cyberpunk, pixel art, etc.

Colors: Bright, dark, pastel, high contrast, etc.

Format or perspective: Horizontal, vertical, top-down, close-up on face

Additional elements: Text, background details, character emotions, objects

📌 Example prompt:

Create an image of a bookmark in a minimalist style. A tall, slender black tree with delicate branches grows on a white background. At the bottom, there's a small inscription that says “eTwinning” in an elegant font. Style: black and white, elegant, calm.

2. Choose a format (optional)

You can request a specific image size, for example:

Small square – e.g. 512×512

Bookmark proportions – e.g. 400×1200

Computer wallpaper – 1920×1080

Printable format – e.g. A5, A4

📌 How to include this in the prompt:

Please generate an image in bookmark proportions (vertical format).

3. Approve or revise

After receiving your image, you can:

Ask for changes (e.g. “Remove the text”, “Add a shadow to the tree”, “Change the colors to pastels”)

Request a new version (“Create another version with a larger font”)

Download the image by clicking on it and saving it to your device

🎨 SAMPLE PROMPTS

✨ Fairytale Illustration

Create an illustration of a small boy sitting on the moon. Night sky, lots of stars, watercolor style.

🌿 Nature-themed Logo

A linear-style logo: a delicate oak leaf inside a circle. Black and white, minimalist, for use on a website.

🏞 Landscape Wallpaper

A mountain landscape in oil painting style. Sunset over a lake, light reflecting on the water, warm colors.

💡 TIPS

The more detailed the prompt, the better the result.

You can create image series – e.g. four versions of the same scene.

If you're not happy with the result – ask for a revision instead of starting from scratch.

Avoid overly complex prompts at the beginning – it's better to build the image gradually.

🖌️ CAN I EDIT AN IMAGE IN CHATGPT?

Yes, ChatGPT allows you to edit images – both those you’ve generated earlier and those you upload from your device (e.g. photos, scans, illustrations).

You can perform both simple edits and more advanced transformations.

🔧 HOW TO EDIT AN IMAGE – STEP BY STEP

1. Upload an image or select a previously generated one

• Click the image upload button and choose a file from your computer
• Or say: “Edit the image we generated earlier”

2. Describe what you want to change

Your description should be clear and specific. You can use phrases like:

• “Add...”
• “Remove...”
• “Replace...”
• “Change the color of...”
• “Move this element...”
• “Make a version in the style of…”

📌 Example edit:

Add the text “Cichosza Miłomłyn” at the bottom in an elegant font, centered. Keep the rest of the image the same.

📌 Another example:

Change the background color from white to a soft pastel green. Keep the tree black.

✏️ WHAT CAN YOU EDIT?

✅ Common editing tasks:

• Adding text or captions
• Color adjustments
• Removing objects or background
• Changing the art style (e.g. realistic → comic-style)
• Adjusting image format or aspect ratio (e.g. square → vertical)
• Inserting new elements (e.g. characters, animals, symbols, details)
• Applying effects (fog, shadows, lighting, blur, etc.)

🔄 EDITING SCENARIO EXAMPLES

🟢 You have an image but want to add text:

Add the phrase “Thank you for your visit!” at the bottom, in a handwritten-style font.

🔵 You want to remove something:

Remove the red car from the lower-left corner and replace it with a road and grass.

🟣 You want a different style:

Create a watercolor-style version with soft outlines and gentle colors.

🟠 You want to add a new element:

Add a cat sitting under the tree. Keep the same black-and-white minimalist style as the rest of the image.

🎯 TIPS FOR IMAGE EDITING

• Edit one element at a time – it's easier to control the results.
• If unsure, ask for multiple versions of the edit.
• You can request a before/after comparison (e.g. “Show me the version before and after the changes”)
• ChatGPT doesn't edit pixel-by-pixel like Photoshop – instead, it generates a new version based on your description.
