GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst vs Ideogram 4.5: in-painting leaks and a chopped-off head

CSProfKGD · x · 2026-10-02

Alec Wilcock compares GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst with Ideogram 4.5 for image editing and finds the results surprisingly good, though he suspects the trick is simple masking/in-painting — visible as a bush slowly turning into a line near his shoulder and his tattoos fading on the side closest to his shirt.

He notes most image editing models still don't default to in-painting, calls out the model for chopping off half his head for no reason, and plans to test a workflow applying it frame-by-frame to video.
