In October 2023, OpenAI launched the beta version of ChatGPT DALL-E 3 for ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users.
DALL-E 3 demonstrates significantly higher capabilities compared to DALL-E 2, which failed to keep up with advancements like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney. The new model raises the bar in image generation abilities and even creating images with text—a capability that was not well-established in previous versions.
What is DALL-E 3?
DALL-E 3 is an advanced AI system for generating images from text developed by OpenAI. It is designed to better understand nuances and details compared to previous versions, allowing users to translate their textual ideas and instructions into highly accurate images.
Unlike other text-to-image systems that sometimes ignore text in the image, DALL-E 3 can also incorporate text based on user-provided instructions.
What We Like About DALL-E 3:
DALL-E 3 can understand simple instructions unlike other AI-based text-to-image generators that require adding specific terms and values to provide high-quality images. DALL-E 3 automatically enhances the instructions you provide to ensure the best output.
DALL-E 3 is an integral part of ChatGPT. You do not need a separate subscription or application to access it.
Unlike the previous model, DALL-E 3 can create images in all proportions, including 1:1 and 16:9.
And perhaps the most significant improvement—DALL-E 3 can incorporate desired text into images.
Getting Started with DALL-E 3:
DALL-E 3 is expected to be available to all paid subscription accounts.
To access ChatGPT DALL-E 3, you need to enable the Beta features. Currently, there are three beta features: Advanced Data Analysis, Bing Search, and Plugins.
Beta features are less stable than standard text processing models, but they are still functional and quite good.
Using DALL-E 3 in ChatGPT does not incur additional costs. You can create a large number of images at the price of a ChatGPT Plus subscription. The limit is 50 messages every 3 hours.
It’s Time to Create Wonderful Images with Text Using DALL-E 3
Now, after going through the technical details, it’s time to enjoy and create amazing images.
Abstract Art Image
The previous model struggled to create abstract images of landscapes or atmospheres tailored to instructions. DALL-E 3 can create beautiful images that can easily become desktop backgrounds, creating a sense of tranquility.
Illustrative Image
In terms of the accuracy of realistic images, DALL-E 3 is slightly behind its competitors. There are images of people that look somewhat artificially inserted. However, most images are of high quality, leaving DALL-E 3 as a quality text-to-image generator in our view.
Cover Images
DALL-E 3 can provide cover images for articles according to context and as needed.
Book Covers
Creating book covers with AI is still not simple. In principle, models do not yet have enough data to define the text. So far, it has been preferable to design the layout with AI and add text with an additional application like Canva, for example.
DALL-E 3 shows a significant improvement in this area. The text is not yet perfect, but the design and sizes are already at a high level.
Social Media Designs
Using artificial intelligence to create posts for social networks is good, but tools like Canva can probably provide more interesting designs faster.
DALL-E 3 created a lovely post with short text without errors, but it took us about 7 attempts :).
Font Creation
DALL-E 3 can write in various fonts and can even create a custom font family with it. The model creates fonts that blend very well into the image.
DALL-E 3 vs. Midjourney
Both DALL-E 3 and Midjourney are amazing models for generating images from text. However, each excels in certain aspects. For example, DALL-E 3 is definitely better with text and realistic images. But when it comes to portraits or complex images, Midjourney is currently preferred in most cases.
Summary
Creating images from text with AI allows us to reach new levels of creativity easily. Choose the right tool for you, or combine several tools and start creating!
