New AI experiences for Paint and Notepad begin rolling out to Windows Insiders
Message
<blockquote data-quote="Brandon LeBlanc" data-source="post: 1107321"><p>Hello Windows Insiders, today we are beginning to roll out updates to Paint and Notepad to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels on Windows 11.</p><h2><strong>Paint (version 11.2410.28.0)</strong></h2><h3><strong>Generative fill </strong></h3><p>In this update, we are introducing generative fill, a powerful new creation tool designed to help you make your artistic process more fun and intuitive. With generative fill, you can make edits and additions with just a few words while maintaining the existing art style of your project. Whether you’re a seasoned artist looking to add intricate details or a hobbyist experimenting with new ideas, generative fill helps you fine-tune your digital art, with just enough AI to assist you in realizing your creative vision while remaining in full control of the output. [caption id="attachment_177403" align="alignnone" width="900"]<a href="https://blogs.windows.com/wp-content/uploads/prod/sites/44/2024/11/GenFill.gif" target="_blank"><img src="https://blogs.windows.com/wp-content/uploads/prod/sites/44/2024/11/GenFill.gif" alt="Paint app open with generative fill dialog open." class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Paint app open with generative fill dialog open.[/caption] To get started, use the <strong>Selection</strong> tool in Paint toolbar to make a Rectangle or Free-form selection. Upon selecting the area, you will see a small menu pop up anchored to your selection. Select the <strong>Generative fill</strong> option on the menu, use the text box to describe what you want to add to your selection, and hit <strong>Create.</strong> If you don’t like what was generated, simply press the <strong>Try again</strong> button. You can also try refining your selection or text prompt. Use the arrow buttons to cycle through the generated options, and once you are satisfied with one of the generated images, press the <strong>Keep </strong>button to apply it to your Paint canvas. You can learn about generative fill in Paint <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/windows/use-cocreator-in-paint-53857513-e36c-472d-8d4a-adbcd14b2e54" target="_blank">here</a>. <em>Generative fill will initially be available on Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs. To use generative fill, you will need to sign in with your Microsoft account. This feature is only available for Windows Insiders in supported markets, where availability may vary based on regional criteria. </em></p><h3><strong>Generative erase </strong></h3><p>We are also introducing generative erase, a new AI-powered tool that helps you remove unwanted objects from the canvas, filling in the empty space left behind to make it look like the object was never there. [caption id="attachment_177404" align="alignnone" width="901"]<a href="https://blogs.windows.com/wp-content/uploads/prod/sites/44/2024/11/GenErase.gif" target="_blank"><img src="https://blogs.windows.com/wp-content/uploads/prod/sites/44/2024/11/GenErase.gif" alt="Paint app open with generative erase active." class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Paint app open with generative erase active.[/caption] To get started, select <strong>Generative erase</strong> on the left side of the canvas while using the eraser tool. With the generative erase brush, you can manually brush over one or multiple areas of the canvas to select the content you want to remove. “Add area to erase” lets you select more and “Reduce area to erase” lets you reduce your selection. After you are satisfied with your selection, click <strong>Apply</strong> to remove the object! You can also use rectangular or free-from selection tools to specify an area that you want to remove with the <strong>Generative erase</strong> command in the small menu pop up anchored to your selection or the right-click menu. <em>Generative erase is available to users on all Windows 11 PCs.</em></p><h3><strong>Update to Cocreator</strong></h3><p>With this update, we have improved the underlying diffusion-based model for Cocreator to deliver better results faster, and with built-in moderation, it’s a creative experience you can trust. Cocreator is available on Snapdragon powered Copilot+ PCs. You can learn more about Paint Cocreator <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/windows/use-cocreator-in-paint-53857513-e36c-472d-8d4a-adbcd14b2e54" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><h3><strong>Update to Image Creator</strong></h3><p>We launched Image Creator in Paint last year in preview, and we hope you have been enjoying the creative possibilities of AI image creation. We are excited to be expanding the preview to additional markets.
