Let’s admit it, image editing tasks that once took lots of effort in Photoshop can now be done in seconds, thanks to the number of free AI tools available today.

ChatGPT and other popular AI tools now support image editing. Tools like Gemini and ChatGPT have also become more precise in their edits. Now it looks like ChatGPT supports marking up images before editing.

Marking up Images in ChatGPT?

With this feature, you can upload an image, select the part you want to edit, and guide the chatbot to make the changes. Basically, this one is for precise photo editing.

So, instead of recreating an entire image to fix just one thing, you can now select and edit a specific area while leaving everything else untouched.
