Microsoft has introduced a new feature named ‘Generative Erase’ for its Windows Photos app, enabling users to leverage AI for selectively removing items from their pictures. With this update, Microsoft joins the ranks of Google and Samsung, offering similar AI-powered picture editing capabilities.
What sets Microsoft’s solution apart is its compatibility with Arm64 devices and its availability for both Windows 10 and Windows 11 users. This inclusivity ensures that a broader range of users can access the feature, regardless of their Windows operating system version.
The upcoming Windows user updates will incorporate these enhancements, including background removal, which is currently undergoing testing with Windows Insiders.
However, Microsoft has not clarified whether AI-edited images will contain any unique watermarks or metadata, leaving users to speculate about potential implications for their edited photos.
This move underscores the competitive landscape among IT companies, where the race to launch innovative AI products aims to attract clients and expand market presence. As technology continues to evolve, users can expect further advancements and creative solutions from leading tech firms.
