Introduction
GPT-4o image generation works within conversational context to interpret uploaded images, render text, revise outputs over multiple turns and draw on model knowledge. The master calls this an Interface Turn: creators collaborate with a multimodal system that combines seeing, discussion, editing and generation, rather than operating an isolated image generator.

Release and use
Introduced on 25 March 2025, GPT-4o image generation combines conversational context, uploaded pictures and textual requests. A picture can remain the object of discussion through multiple revisions. The announcement also lists problems with cropping, dense text and editing precision; successful demonstrations are not unconditional reliability.

Change in creative practice
Viewing, explaining and generating occupy one environment. The historical interest extends beyond another visual style: feedback becomes material for the next operation. Studying control requires records of what each revision changes and whether users can accept, reverse or further specify those changes.
