It is an improved version of the Spot Fix function in the Photos app.
An eraser for pictures that is powered by generative artificial intelligence has been revealed by Microsoft. This eraser provides you with an easy approach to remove undesired components from your photographs. Windows Photos has, for quite some time, offered a tool called Spot Fix, which is capable of removing portions of an image on your behalf. However, the firm claims that Generative erase is an improved version of this feature. It would appear that this more recent technique is capable of producing results that are “more seamless and realistic” even when huge items, such as onlookers or debris in the backdrop, are eliminated from an image.
On their own mobile devices, Google and Samsung each offer their own kinds of artificial intelligence erasing tools, if you recall correctly. Up until recently, Google’s was only accessible on more recent Pixel phones; however, it has since been made available on older mobile devices. The Microsoft edition, on the other hand, provides you with the ability to wipe photos using artificial intelligence on your desktop or laptop computer. with order to begin utilizing the function, all you need to do is use the image editor that is included with Photos. After selecting the Erase option, you can then use the brush to form a mask over the elements that you wish to get rid of. You may even change the size of the brush to make it simpler to choose objects that are thinner or thicker. Additionally, you have the option to highlight more than one piece before erasing all of them.
Access to the Generative erase feature, on the other hand, is quite restricted at the present. As of right now, it has not been made available to the general public, and the only way to make use of it is by being a Windows Insider and using the Photos app on Windows 10 and Windows 11 designed for Arm64 devices.
