ChatGPT can generate images but refuses to edit uploaded images after a few edits – anyone else?
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to use ChatGPT for e-commerce/Vinted photo editing.
The workflow is simple:
Upload a clothing photo.
Ask ChatGPT to lightly retouch it (remove some wrinkles, clean the background, keep the garment 100% identical).
It works perfectly… but only for the first image.
After that, every single edit fails.
ChatGPT can still see the uploaded image and describes it correctly, but when it tries to edit it, it always says something like:
“The image editor can’t retrieve the uploaded image as the editing target.”
I’ve tried:
uploading the image again
different JPG files
different image sizes
waiting several hours
starting a new message in the same conversation
open a new chat
Has anyone experienced this?
Is this a bug?
Is there a limit on the number of image edits per conversation?
Is there a daily editing limit?
Has anyone found a reliable workaround?
I’m on go plan
Any help would be appreciated!
