Entry 4 of TawohAwa's ChatGPT image prompt series: image expansion. The prompt:
- Expands the image to a specified size or aspect ratio, keeping the original untouched
- Outpaints missing areas naturally, matching lighting, colors, shadows and style
- No stretching or distortion of the main subject
- Result should look like it was originally photographed that way
Context quotes entry 3, a Canva-style design prompt for turning photos into Instagram posts, flyers, ads or banners with max two fonts.
