Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer

OpenAI has created DALL.E an AI system which generates images and artwork from a natural language description or extends original images to a larger canvas.

DALL-E's edit feature already enables changes within a generated or uploaded image, a capability known as Inpainting. Now, with Outpainting, users can extend the original image, creating large-scale images in any aspect ratio. Outpainting takes into account the image’s existing visual elements—including shadows, reflections, and textures—to maintain the context of the original image.

More than one million people are using DALL·E, the AI system that generates original images and artwork from a natural language description, as a creative tool today.

Here is an example of Outpainting Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, the image above. Notice that the image was created with the same shadows, reflections, and textures. The capability is available for you to try: https://openai.com/blog/dall-e-introducing-outpainting/.

AHA the result of Outpainting.
