So gpt-image-1-mini has v1/images/edits available. Is it a soft edit or a hard edit? Does it accept masks? Anybody tried it out?
Hey everyone,
Sorry for the delay in updates here. Confirming that gpt-image-1 doesn’t yet support precise inpainting, so mask edits can affect nearby areas or sometimes regenerate most of the image. The model currently treats masks in 16×16 blocks, so results won’t match Photoshop-style precision.
If you’re using the API, make sure:
-
The mask and base image are the same size
-
The mask includes an alpha channel (transparent = keep, opaque = edit)
-
You use
"quality": "high"for better consistency
The team is working on improving masking accuracy in future image models!
