There is Microsoft announced a generative AI powered eraser for images that provide an easy way to remove unwanted elements from your images. Windows Photos has long had a Spot Fix tool that can erase parts of a photo for you, but the company says it’s an improved version of Generative Erase. Apparently, this newer tool can produce “seamless and realistic” results even when large objects, such as surroundings or background clutter, are removed from the image.
If you remember, both Google and Samsung have their own versions of AI eraser tools on their mobile devices. Google was previously exclusively available on the newer Pixel phones spread to older models. However, Microsoft’s version gives you access to an AI-powered photo eraser on your desktop or laptop. To start using the feature, you just need to launch the image editor in Photos. Just select the Delete option and then use the brush to create a mask over the elements you want to delete. You can even adjust the brush size to make it easier to select thinner or thicker objects, and you can choose to highlight multiple elements before erasing them all.
Currently, access to Generative Wipe is extremely limited. It’s not yet widely released, and you can only use it if you’re a Windows Insider through the Photos app in Windows 10 and Windows 11 for Arm64 devices.
