According to God of Prompt (@godofprompt), OpenAI has launched a major update to ChatGPT Images, positioning it as a strong competitor to Google's Gemini Nano Banana 2. The new release brings human-like photo editing capabilities, allowing users to make precise changes—such as editing specific elements without altering faces, lighting, or composition. This addresses a major user complaint about previous AI image editors (source: Twitter). The update also delivers up to four times faster processing, enabling rapid iteration, parallel idea testing, and refinement without starting from scratch. Instruction-following has improved significantly, supporting complex prompts, multi-object scenes, and integrated text-visual outputs. Notably, text rendering in images is now reliable, making ChatGPT Images suitable for real design assets like posters and infographics. Creative transformations are more controlled, preserving image identity during style changes or concept remixing. The addition of a dedicated Images workspace with presets and trending styles streamlines the creative process. GPT-Image-1.5 is now available via API, offering the same improvements at 20% lower cost, enhancing brand and ecommerce workflows. Companies like Wix, Canva, and Figma have begun integrating these capabilities, signaling new business opportunities and a shift toward AI-powered design tools (source: Twitter).
