Windows 11 users are getting the Paint app bolstered with a really smart addition on the AI front.
This is the introduction of Dall-E 3 support to Paint, or as it’s known in the app, Cocreator.
There’s a short tutorial to introduce the feature to help beginners understand what it’s all about, too.
Analysis: Not got Cocreator yet? You will have it soon
Not everyone will see the Cocreator feature right now, as the rollout will take a little time. Also, you need to ensure that you’re running the latest version of Paint (so update the app), and if Microsoft asks you to sign up to the waiting list for the feature (in the app), make sure that you do this.
Paint has been fleshed out considerably this year, not just with the addition of this AI-based feature, but also with a transparency effect, and moreover, layers, a much-requested piece of functionality that was added recently. Not to mention background removal which does what it says on the tin, quickly and with no fuss (the Photos app also got this recently, as well as a background blur option to boot).
The improvements for Microsoft’s core Windows 11 apps keep coming, as well as the ditching of some of the chaff in this department too, which is equally welcome.
