Introduction
Microsoft Photos is introducing a dynamic new feature for Windows Insiders, enabling users to seamlessly transfer images from the Photos app to Microsoft Designer. This cloud-based graphic design application offers a range of functionalities, including social media post creation, invitations, digital postcards, and graphics, all powered by generative AI. Initially available on Windows 11, this feature is currently limited to users in the US, UK, Australia, Ireland, India, and New Zealand, with deployment beginning in the Canary and Dev channels.Key Integration Points
Photos App Integration with Designer: Users now have the ability to harness the creative potential stored in their images through Designer. By clicking the Designer button in the Photos app's title bar while viewing a single image, users can seamlessly open Designer in their default web browser. Once in Designer, users can access a range of templates, visuals, and AI tools to enhance and customize their photos further.Enhancing Photos with Designer:
- The integration allows users to employ AI tools to generate custom backgrounds for their images. Users simply need to follow a few straightforward steps within Designer, such as removing the background, selecting and generating a custom image background, and finally setting it as the background behind the original photo.
- To access the latest Photos features, users should update their app to version number 2024.11040.16001.0 or higher. Users can experiment with Designer's generative AI capabilities, currently in preview, by signing in with a free personal Microsoft account.
