Microsoft Photos Unleashes AI Tools for Personalized Images
In a major update, Microsoft Photos has embraced AI technology, transforming how users personalize their images. By integrating Microsoft Designer, a powerful AI-driven image editor, Microsoft now empowers Windows users with cutting-edge capabilities.
Unlocking Microsoft Designer in Photos
Windows Insiders can access Microsoft Designer within the Photos app by clicking the “Designer” button while viewing an image. This seamless integration ensures a simplified and convenient editing experience.
AI-Personalized Photo Transformations
Microsoft Designer boasts an array of AI tools, enabling users to effortlessly enhance their photos. From applying eye-catching templates and adding dynamic visuals to generating custom backgrounds, the possibilities are endless.
Creating Custom Backgrounds with AI
One remarkable feature of Microsoft Designer is its ability to create custom backgrounds. With a few simple steps, users can remove the original background and generate a unique image that blends seamlessly with their photo. Step-by-step instructions:
- Select the image and click “Remove background” in the toolbar.
- Click “Visuals” and select “Generate” to create a custom background from a prompt.
- Choose the desired generated image and insert it on the canvas.
- Click “Set as background” to place the generated image behind the photo.
Generative Erase in Microsoft Edge
Microsoft is further pushing the boundaries of image editing with the introduction of “generative erase” in Microsoft Edge’s image editor, Designer. This groundbreaking feature allows users to seamlessly remove unwanted objects by simply drawing over them. The AI then magically fills in the erased area with a realistic generated image.
Enhanced Editing in Windows Photos
Beyond the integration of Microsoft Designer, the Photos app itself has been enhanced with AI-driven editing capabilities. Users can now effortlessly blur backgrounds and erase objects with precision, adding a touch of professionalism to their images.
Availability and Eligibility
The Microsoft Designer button in the Photos app is currently exclusive to Windows Dev and Canary Channel Insiders. Eligible users can update their Photos app to version 2024.11040.16001.0 or higher to unlock this feature. Generative erase in Microsoft Edge is still in development and will be available in a future update.
Microsoft’s latest updates revolutionize image editing, empowering Windows users with AI-driven tools to personalize their photos like never before. With seamless integration and intuitive features, Microsoft Photos and Microsoft Designer unleash a world of endless creative possibilities.
