Create image edit documentation says the Mask parameter is optional but it shows as required

[silk tide]

According to https://beta.openai.com/docs/api-reference/images/create-edit

This should work:

openai.Image.create_edit(
  image=open("otter.png", "rb"),
  prompt="A cute baby sea otter wearing a beret",
  n=2,
  size="1024x1024"
)```

Error: `TypeError: create_edit() missing 1 required positional argument: 'mask'`

does mask=None work?

[silk tide]

let me try

Yes, it does execute but no modifications are made to the original image

[exotic falcon]

Right, because the mask is the only place that can be edited when creating an image edit, so if the mask is None, no edits can be done, sorry I should’ve mentioned earlier, I misread the original message

I think you need to switch to the generations endpoint

Editing is for taking an existing image and using AI on a part of it

generations endpoint lets you create an image from a prompt

Makes sense, thanks.

In that case, would not be useful to change the doc about it saying it's mandatory in order to create the edit?

Yeah sorry this is my bad

I have not released a new sdk version yet

For now just send the image as the mask

The backend supports optional mask so if you make the raw url request it works

If you don’t pass mask it will use alpha channel of image
