Happy New Year!
Do you recall the simple joy of creating pixelated works of art on Microsoft Paint as a child? While it might not be a tool you’ve used recently, there’s a compelling reason to take another look.
Microsoft Paint is getting a major makeover in Windows 11, and it’s all thanks to AI.
The headline news? The addition of Dall-E 3 support to Paint, now known as Cocreator.
Does it ring a bell?
If you’ve come across this feature in Bing AI, you’ll know it’s a game-changer. Cocreator is not just any image creation tool. It allows you to describe what you want, specify an art style, and voila – an image based on your description appears.
This is far from a mere gimmick. When Cocreator was first introduced with Bing Chat (now Copilot), there was a significant surge in usage for its image generation capability. The positive feedback? Let’s just say it was substantial.
Sure, there have been some bumps along the way, but that’s to be expected with AI.
According to Windows Latest, Cocreator in Paint has completed its testing phase and is ready for the spotlight – it’s now being rolled out to all Windows 11 users.
If you don’t see the Cocreator feature yet, no worries, it’s on its way. Just ensure you have the latest version of Paint installed. And if Microsoft invites you to join the waitlist, don’t hesitate.
Cocreator is not the only new addition to Paint. The app has received a hefty upgrade this year, including a transparency effect, layers (a highly requested feature), and even background removal. These enhancements extend beyond Paint; Microsoft’s core Windows 11 apps are also receiving a refresh.
You might be wondering, “How does this benefit my business?”
Imagine being able to instantly create custom graphics for presentations, reports, or social media posts. Consider the time and money this could save.
With Cocreator, anyone on your team can become a graphic designer. No need for pricey software or extensive training; just articulate your vision and let AI handle the rest.
Eager to give it a shot (a great way to kick off the new year)? Make sure you have Windows 11 installed. If you need help with that, or any other tech issues this year, we’re here to assist.
