DALL-E generates blue splotch to right of dark area next to light

Often when there’s a dark area to the left of a light area, DALL-E will generate a blue splotch. It appears to be an error in the compression algorithm. I can give you literally hundreds of examples. I’ve attached two images that have multiple “splotches”.

You mean like this?

I can almost create it on demand from certain subjects, although I didn’t expect one this bad just making images for this reply.

Exactly. I attached examples but they don’t appear. I have prepared dozens of examples. This is the first time I’ve posted here. How do we get this information to the DALL-E team?

Posting it here is generally good enough, they might see it when they occasionally visit the forum

The examples you’ve posted will definitely help them understand the issue though

It seems specifically to occur when there is a dark area to the upper-left of a light area.

Here’s the similar image artifact on a similar image prompt - in October

DALL-E 3: Opinionated, Boring

“It’s racist.” heh. It’s the opposite, it won’t make what you want, unless you want video game characters or male models. It actually doesn’t do what you say. “Full-body studio publicity photos of a model, where the European young woman has chin-length short red hair and fair complexion” [image] Also note the weird artifact seen over and over where one eye has a white blotch, now extended to the glasses. BTW, get frustrated with Bing and type in only “She’s going crazy” = you get a common…

At least they aren’t making as many Asian redheads.

I’ll pass the thread on in the Discord… The DALLE team has been quiet lately, though…

[neal8900]

Has this been fixed? I haven’t noticed any of these splotches in the last couple days!

Definitely still there, but it alternates depending on generation and prompt, as if there’s variants of DALL-E running that alternate how much “photoshopped together” or “game rendered” effect you get when you have people that need to be marked up.
