The prompt
Prompt

- 1
Open the generator that matches the model and version above, and start a new image rather than editing an existing one.
- 2
Set the output to 2:3. That is the only output setting recorded for this entry, and it is what produced the 516 × 768 image on this page.
- 3
Paste the prompt exactly as written. Changing the wording changes the image, so copy it before you edit.
- 4
Generate, then change one thing at a time. The result will not be pixel-identical to the image on this page, because no seed is recorded for it.
Only an aspect ratio is recorded for this entry. GPT Image and DALL·E do not expose a sampler, step count, or CFG value in the interface this was tested in, so there are no numbers to match — the prompt text and the aspect ratio are the whole instruction. Resize by describing the framing in words rather than reaching for a parameter.
