DALL-E is an OpenAI generative model that turns natural-language descriptions into images. It can create scenes, objects, people, illustrations, and other visual concepts from a prompt. section 5.2.2
Use DALL-E through the OpenAI DALL-E app or through Microsoft Copilot’s Image Creator. The OpenAI app requires purchased credits, while Copilot’s Image Creator is free. section 5.2.2
Build image prompts by specifying:
- The overall mood and aesthetic. section 5.5
- The medium, such as photography, digital art, or an illuminated manuscript. section 5.5
- Specific visual details that define the desired result. section 5.5
A practical image prompt
A photograph of a golden retriever browsing in a library, medium shot, fluorescent lighting. section 5.2.2
Please ask image creator to create a cartoon of a cow standing on two legs with a text bubble over the cow's head that says "Moo".
Compare a copyable Image Creator prompt with the resulting cartoon to see how concrete subject, pose, and text instructions shape an image request. section 5.2.2
Treat generated images as drafts rather than finished artwork: they may need manual editing, professional modification, or use as prototypes for a final design. section 5.2.2
