Frustration Again or am I Delusional

They emphasize no support on this forum but getting support anywhere seems impossible. I’m not new to chatgpt but cancelled after dealing with frustration after frustration and now I’m back. After watching several videos and reading articles about outpainting I convinced myself that if that is all I used chatgpt4 and Dall-e for, that’s fine. But…where is it? I can’t find any outpainting in the Chatgpt world or even in the opena ai world. Am I being critical when I should not. But even if it is available I think most would agree that transparency is not open ai strong point. So i just may of wasted 2 hours of my time hunting for something that has disappeared. If that is the case … OPEN AI, tell us about it. I wonder how well they will support Sora and is it worth the risk?

AFAIK out-painting is available but only using the API version of Dall-E

https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/images/createEdit

Creates an edited or extended image given an original image and a prompt.

I don’t think it’s available, or at least immediately obvious in ChatGPT’s interface for drawing images. I took a quick glance and only saw in-painting.

where do you see inpainting…I don’t see it

You asked for out-painting in your original post, but fortunately in-painting is here as well:

mask
file
Optional

An additional image whose fully transparent areas (e.g. where alpha is zero) indicate where image should be edited. Must be a valid PNG file, less than 4MB, and have the same dimensions as image.

You can also do this in ChatGPT using this icon button:

The only reason I asked about Inpainting I don’t see that either. Actually anything you mention, including the icon with the paint brush in a circle, I do not see or can find. I have chatpgpt plus…frustrating.
