The simple drawing tool that many of us used to create pixelated masterpieces in our youth? It&#8217;s probably not an app you use very much these days. But what if I told you there&#8217;s a reason you might want to revisit it right now?<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Paint is getting a serious upgrade in Windows 11 \u2013 and it&#8217;s all about AI.<\/p>\n<p>The big news is the introduction of Dall-E 3 support to Paint, or as it&#8217;s known in the app, Cocreator.<\/p>\n<p>Sound familiar?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve seen the feature in Bing AI, you know it&#8217;s a game-changer. This isn&#8217;t just any old image creation feature. With Cocreator, you can tell it what you want, specify an art style, and an image based on your description magically appears.<\/p>\n<p>And this isn&#8217;t some gimmicky add-on. When Cocreator first rolled out with Bing Chat (now called Copilot), there was a massive rush to use the image generation capability. And the buzz around how good it is? Well, let&#8217;s just say it&#8217;s been substantial.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, there have been a few hiccups along the way, but when it comes to AI, a bit of turbulence is par for the course.<\/p>\n<p>Windows Latest reports that Cocreator in Paint has left the testing phase and is ready for prime time \u2013 it\u2019s now rolling out to all Windows 11 users.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not seeing the Cocreator feature yet, don&#8217;t worry, it&#8217;s coming. Just make sure you&#8217;re running the latest version of Paint. If Microsoft asks you to sign up for the waiting list, do it.<\/p>\n<p>The Cocreator feature isn&#8217;t the only new addition to Paint. The app has been significantly beefed up this year. We&#8217;re talking a transparency effect, layers (a much-requested functionality), and even background removal. And these improvements aren&#8217;t just for Paint, Microsoft&#8217;s core Windows 11 apps are also getting a makeover.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, you might be thinking, &#8220;That&#8217;s all well and good, but how does this help my business?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, imagine being able to create custom graphics for presentations, reports, or social media posts in seconds. Think about how much time and money that could save.<\/p>\n<p>With Cocreator, anyone on your team can become a graphic designer. No need for expensive software or lengthy training; just describe what you want, and let AI do the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Raring to try this one out (it\u2019s a nice way to start the new year)? You\u2019ll need to have Windows 11 installed. If we can help with that, or any other tech problem this year, get in touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft Paint is all grown up, and it\u2019s making a supercharged comeback thanks to AI.
