1. Microsoft is rolling out exciting AI enhancements for Paint and Notepad to Windows Insiders. Paint now features generative fill and erase tools for intuitive art creation, while Notepad introduces a generative AI rewrite function to refine text. These updates aim to enhance creativity and productivity for users on Windows 11.2.
Exciting New AI Features for Paint and Notepad
Windows Insiders, get ready for an upgrade! Microsoft is rolling out new AI experiences for Paint and Notepad. This update is available for users in the Canary and Dev Channels on Windows 11.
What’s New in Paint?
The latest version of Paint (11.2410.28.0) introduces two groundbreaking tools: generative fill and generative erase. These features aim to enhance your artistic process.
“Generative fill helps you fine-tune your digital art, with just enough AI to assist you in realizing your creative vision.”
Generative Fill
Generative fill allows you to make edits and additions using simple text prompts. Simply select an area, describe what you want to add, and hit create. If you’re not satisfied, use the “Try again” button to refine your selection further.
Generative Erase
Generative erase is a powerful tool for removing unwanted objects from your canvas. Brush over the area you want to erase, and the AI fills in the space seamlessly. This feature is available on all Windows 11 PCs.
Notepad Gets a Major Update
Notepad (version 11.2410.15.0) is also getting a significant upgrade. The new rewrite feature utilizes generative AI to help you refine your text.
“Select the text you want to rewrite, then right-click and choose the Rewrite option.”
Rewrite Functionality
This feature generates three variations of your selected text. You can adjust tone, length, and even revert to previous versions if needed. This flexibility allows you to tailor your content to your specific goals.
Performance Improvements
Both applications have seen performance enhancements. Notepad’s launch time has improved significantly, with some users experiencing a 55% boost. This means a smoother experience overall.
Availability and Feedback
These features are rolling out gradually, so not all Insiders will have access immediately. Microsoft encourages feedback through the Feedback Hub to refine these tools further.
Stay tuned for more updates as Microsoft continues to innovate. The future of digital creativity looks bright!
