If you want to start from scratch, start a new thread. Otherwise you may see elements from previous images appearing in new ones.</p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1j1uhscdn146\">Use thread files as inputs</h3>\n<p>Want to incorporate a logo or other visual element into your generated image? Attach the logo as a thread file.</p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1j1uhscdn147\">Human spell-check</h3>\n<p>Carefully check any text in a generated image. AI is more likely to make mistakes with text in images than in text responses.</p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1j1uhscdn148\">Prompting tips</h3>\n<p>Image generation works best when you use terms like \"draw\" or \"edit\" in your prompt.&nbsp;For example, if you want to combine images, instead of saying \"combine\" or \"merge\", you can say something like \"edit the first image by adding this element from the second image\".</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1j1uhscdn149\">Supported models</h2>\n<p>The image generation tool is supported by most recent models - gpt-4o and newer - including:</p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<li><code>gpt-4o</code></li>\n<li><code>gpt-4o-mini</code></li>\n<li><code>gpt-4.1</code></li>\n<li><code>gpt-4.1-mini</code></li>\n<li><code>gpt-4.1-nano</code></li>\n<li><code>o3</code></li>\n<li>&nbsp;</li>\n</ul>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1j4o7teqa5d9\">Plan limitations</h2>\n<p>Image input is now supported when using your own Azure OpenAI service (maximum 10 images per thread).&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Image generation is not supported when using your own Azure OpenAI service.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p></body></html>","description":"Learn how to create images in Theta Assist, change image settings, and improve results with practical prompting tips.","isMarkdown":false,"publishedOnUtc":"2026-07-02T04:15:06.0212797","modifiedOnUtc":"2025-08-01T01:27:19.9599544"}
