3 ways to enhance your photos using AI

Have you ever wanted to edit your photos, but you didn’t have the time or skill to make them look just right? Polishing your photos is easier than ever with AI. Learn more about how you can use the Windows 11 Photos app, Copilot in Windows, and Windows Studio Effects on your Surface PC to enhance your photos with AI.

Windows 11 Photos app: AI-powered features for stunning visual effects

The Windows 11 Photos app is your built-in photo enhancer on Windows 11 devices. It boasts AI-powered features that take photo editing to a whole new level. One standout feature is the background blur, which allows you to create stunning visual effects by automatically blurring the background of an image while keeping the subject in sharp focus. This feature is perfect for portraits or any scenario where you want to draw attention to the main subject.

The AI capabilities of the Windows 11 Photos app don't stop there. It can help you enhance colors and adjust lighting, and it can suggest edits based on the content of the photo.

Copilot+ PC: Intelligent assistance in photo editing

Surface Pro 11ᵗʰ Edition and Surface Laptop 7ᵗʰ Edition offer AI-accelerated Copilot+ PC experiences. With built-in Copilot in Windows, you can generate and enhance AI images in seconds, open File Explorer, and much more, all with AI help.

You can also search across time to find the content you need. Then, re-engage with it. With Recall (in preview), you have an explorable timeline of your PC’s past. Just describe how you remember it, and it will retrieve the moment you saw it. Any photo, link, or message can be a fresh point to continue from—especially with Copilot by your side.¹

Windows Studio Effects: Capturing photos with immersive features

If you’re taking photos on your device, Windows Studio Effects can enhance the experience with AI features. Windows Studio Effects can automatically apply filters and effects in real time as you capture the image, giving you a preview of the final result before you even select the shutter button.

Additionally, Windows Studio Effects can assist with framing and composition. Automatic framing keeps you or the whole family in focus, even as you move around your space. Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist, these features can significantly enhance the quality of your photos.

Taking photos on your device is even easier with Surface Pro 11ᵗʰ Edition. Shoot, scan, start a call—with HD cameras front and rear and AI-enhanced features to ensure you have excellent lighting and crystal-clear sound wherever you're dialing in from.
