Happy New Year, everyone!
Remember the good old days of doodling in Microsoft Paint? The beloved app has had some rough roads in the past decade, with it being slated to be decommissioned and then finally remaining after tons of pushback from fans of the app. Even though it was never fully deprecated, other than a few keyboard commands and screen reader support, it has essentially remained unchanged since 2009.
While it might not be your go-to app these days, there might be good reason to give it another look.
Microsoft Paint is getting an AI-powered makeover for Windows 11.
Paint now includes Dall-E 3 support, called Cocreator in the app. If you’ve seen this feature in Bing AI, you’ll know it’s a total game-changer. This isn’t just about creating images; it’s about bringing your ideas to life. Tell Cocreator what you want, pick an art style, and voila! Your vision turns into reality.
Cocreator isn’t just a fancy new trick. When it first appeared in Bing Chat (now Copilot), people went wild for its image generation skills and rushed to use the tool. Yes, it’s that good.
Sure, there have been a few bumps along the way – AI is always evolving, after all. Cocreator in Paint is out of testing and ready to roll out to all Windows 11 users.
If you haven’t seen Cocreator in your Paint app yet, don’t sweat it. Just make sure you’ve got the latest version of Paint.
But wait, there’s more! Paint’s not just about Cocreator. It’s gotten a major upgrade with features like transparency effects, layers (finally!), and background removal. And it’s not just Paint; other core Windows 11 apps are getting makeovers too.
This all sounds fun, but if you’re wondering how this is going to help your business then you need to think of any design element you might use.
Need a graphic for your presentations, reports, or social media posts? Ditch the stock images and generate a custom one for your company in seconds.
With Cocreator, anyone on your team can whip up professional graphics, with no expensive software or training needed. Just describe your vision, and let the AI work its magic.
Eager to dive in and start the new year with a creative bang? Make sure you’re running Windows 11. If you need help with that or any other tech issues this year, just give us a shout. Let’s make 2024 a year of tech-savvy success!
