OpenAI / GPT Image 2.6 Flare Edit#


GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit is the speed-focused editing mode of the GPT Image 2.6 family. You give it source pictures and a written instruction, and GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit changes only what you ask for.


When an edit must land in an exact spot, GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit accepts a mask or a markup layer drawn over the first image, so you do not have to rely on wording alone.


Highlights#


  • Quick edits: GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit returns results fast, so you can try several versions of the same change.

  • Up to 16 references: GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit can combine products, people, and scenes from several pictures into one composition.

  • Precise targeting: In GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit, a mask marks exactly which pixels may change; a markup image uses circles, arrows, or notes instead.

  • Two separate dials: Quality sets detail and price, while complexity only sets how much layout planning happens.

  • Shape control: GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit keeps the first image's ratio with auto, or you can pick one of fifteen fixed ratios, at 1K, 2K, or 4K.

Prices are per output image and include one input image.


  • Extra reference images: each image after the first adds $0.016.
  • Mask or markup image: adds $0.016.
  • Complexity never changes the price.
  • Example: medium quality at 1K with three reference images costs $0.095 + 2 × $0.016 = $0.127.

How to Use#


  1. Open GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit on its RunComfy model page.
  2. Upload the picture you want to change; add more references if you are combining elements.
  3. Write an instruction that states what changes and, just as clearly, what must stay the same.
  4. Optionally add a mask or a markup image for the first picture, but not both.
  5. Leave aspect ratio on auto to keep the original shape, or choose a new frame.
  6. Pick resolution and quality, and lower complexity for simple one-step edits.
  7. Generate with GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit, compare against the source, and refine the instruction if needed.

Prompt & Reference Tips#


  • Say what to keep: Phrases like keep the face and pose unchanged tell GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit which parts to protect.

  • One change per pass: Stack big edits across several runs of GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit rather than one long instruction.

  • Order references: Put the main subject first, because GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit applies masks, markup, and auto ratio to the first image.

  • Name each reference: Refer to the first image or the second image so GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit knows which element comes from where.

  • Use masks for small areas: A tight mask guides GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit better than a long description when changing a label or a single object.

  • Quote new text: Put any words you want added in quotes and give their position.

How GPT Image 2.6 Flare Edit compares to other models#


  • Versus GPT Image 2.6 Sunburst Image Edit: Sunburst keeps fine detail steadier across repeated edits, while GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit prioritizes turnaround time.

  • Versus GPT Image 2.5 Flare edit: The 2.6 tier adds mask and markup inputs plus the complexity control, based on publicly available information.

  • Versus classic inpainting tools: GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit understands full sentences and multiple references, so many edits need no manual selection at all.

A markup image is a transparent PNG with circles, arrows, or notes that shows GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit where and how to edit; use one or the other, not both.

How can I keep faces and products unchanged with GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit?

State clearly in the prompt what must stay the same, for example keep the face, pose, and logo unchanged, and describe only the change you want. For small targeted changes, a tight mask gives GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit a firm boundary that protects everything outside it.

How does GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit compare with the Sunburst edit model?

GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit prioritizes turnaround time, which suits exploration and high-volume variations. The Sunburst edit model takes longer per image to keep fine detail steadier across repeated edits, so many teams try ideas on GPT Image 2.6 Flare Image Edit first and finish on Sunburst.
