These Advanced Features Make the Windows Photos App Incredibly Useful
1 min read
Summary
The Windows Photos app has an incredibly robust range of tools behind a simplistic outlook, elevating it beyond being just a photo viewer
Using the generative erase tool, any unwanted objects or people can be removed without damaging the rest of the photo, and the background is blended for a natural look
Optical character recognition (OCR) can extract text from images to make it editable, handy for screenshots or handwritten notes
AI can scan and edit photo backgrounds, distinguishing between foreground and background for easy manipulation, with options to blur, remove, or replace elements
Photos also allows users to resize images with high customisability and optimise file size without losing quality, unlike other image resizers
Photos has convenient buttons to open the image in search engines Bing and Copilot, with additional features for Copilot Plus PCs, such as AI upscaling.
These advanced features in the Photos app make it a versatile and comprehensive tool for editing and manipulating images.
