Images 2.6 adds targeted edits to the API

A retailer replacing the background of a product photograph has a simple requirement: the bottle must remain the bottle it sells. Images 2.6, introduced by OpenAI on November 4, brings image markup to the API so developers can indicate where they want a change. I1

Consider a new campaign scene around an approved bottle photograph. The label wording, stated volume and cap shape belong on the review checklist before anyone judges the lighting. A convincing image with the wrong product detail is still the wrong image to put on the page.

OpenAI also announced SVG export and GIF creation, with Images 2.6 available globally across ChatGPT and Codex subscription tiers. The API offers Flare and Sunburst; the company describes Sunburst as the higher-detail option at medium or high quality. These are provider claims, rather than results from an OBVS product-fidelity test. I1

For a first review, keep the approved photograph beside the edited result. Inspect the product at full size and at the size customers see on the page. Save the requested change, the original and the approved output together, so the next editor can see exactly what was allowed to move.

A product loop needs that review across its frames, especially when the package turns. Check for a label that changes halfway through the motion, a cap that shifts shape or wording that becomes unreadable. Approve the whole loop, rather than relying on its opening still.
