Understanding the DALL·E editor interface
The editor interface provides a range of options for highlighting the parts of the generated image that you want to update.
In the upper-left corner of the editor, you can change the size of the selection tool to easily highlight the area you want to update. We recommend selecting a larger area around the region you want to edit for better results.
You can also use the “Undo” and “Redo” buttons above the image to undo and redo selections, or select “Clear selection” to start over completely.
