Microsoft is rolling out new AI-powered features to Paint and Notepad for Windows 11 Insiders. Paint now includes Generative fill and Generative erase tools for creative image editing.
Microsoft today announced that it has started rolling out new Paint and Notepad apps to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels on Windows 11. The new AI features may not be available to all Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels just yet, as Microsoft will expand the rollout based on feedback collected from the first set of Insiders.
Paint (version 11.2410.28.0):
The new Generative fill feature in Paint will allow users to make edits and additions with a text description while maintaining the existing art style of their project. To use this feature, users can use the Selection tool in the Paint toolbar to make a Rectangle or Free-form selection. A small menu will pop up alongside the selection, where they can click the Generative fill option, use the text box to describe what they want to add, and select Create.
If the generated image is not good, users can simply click the Try again button. They can also use the arrow buttons to cycle through the generated options and click the Keep button to apply it to their image.
