How to use ChatGPT and dotphoto

As of 4/9/23, ChatGPT is the leading general artificial intelligence (AI) service. Microsoft has invested $10 billion in the company, OpenAI, and offers its services through Microsoft's Bing search engine. We note that ChatGPT services work best with Microsoft's Edge browser.  How to set up ChatGPT as a Windows app

IMPORTANT: AI services are not really "intelligent": they are built on pattern recognition and trained on existing data. If no data exists, the AI cannot create an image or answer a question, though it may try. 

Two services may be helpful to dotphoto users:

1. Image creation and modification: DALL-E  (pronounced like the painter, Dali)

DALL·E 2 is an AI system that can create realistic images and art from a description in natural language.

DALL-E is a paid service that offers 150  uses for $15, or 10 cents per use.

How to import images from dotphoto to ChatGPT

DALL-E editor is a three-step process:

After you import a photo from dotphoto (1) Use the erase tool to erase something in the photo (2) Tell DALL-E what to replace such as "Create a party," "Add a realistic bunny" or "Make a birthday party." (3) Tap the Generate button to start the process; after a few moments, you will have a new photo that you can download, or, using the dotphoto Upload tool, add to your dotphoto account.

2. Ask any question: Open AI Chat

Ask any question, such as, "What is the best resolution to print on dotphoto?"

ChatGPT provides a competent answer to this question below, but does not cover all products and misses the fact that the maximum size of a dotphoto image is 6000 pixels per side, or 36 megapixels, which is sufficient to print all products offered on dotphoto.  Click here for dotphoto's FAQ with more information

ChatGPT:

The best resolution to print on dotphoto will depend on the size of the print you want to make. Dotphoto recommends using images with a resolution of at least 300 pixels per inch (ppi) for the best print quality. Here are some guidelines to help you determine the best resolution for your print:

• For a 4x6 inch print, the ideal resolution would be 1200 x 1800 pixels or higher.
• For a 5x7 inch print, the ideal resolution would be 1500 x 2100 pixels or higher.
• For an 8x10 inch print, the ideal resolution would be 2400 x 3000 pixels or higher.
• For a 16x20 inch print, the ideal resolution would be 4800 x 6000 pixels or higher.

It's always a good idea to check the resolution of your image before printing to ensure that it will look crisp and clear in the final product. You can usually find the resolution information in the image's file properties or by opening it in an image editing software and checking the image size and resolution.
