What changed
OpenAI introduced Images 2.6 on November 4, describing image generation, editing and GIF capabilities. Product teams still need an asset pipeline.
Why it matters
An attractive output is only one part of a deployable image. Teams also need consistent character identity, appropriate rights, sensible file size, descriptive alternative text and a record of how the asset was made. A generated illustration should not look like documentary evidence for an event it never depicted.
What to check next
Save prompts and model provenance with the source asset. Export responsive sizes, inspect edges and text, and test the real mobile layout. Label conceptual news illustrations. Keep editable originals and a rights ledger so a future owner can transfer the brand assets confidently.
