Microsoft Unveils New AI Features for Photos App

A few days ago, Microsoft announced through a recent Windows Insider blog post some new AI features and improvements for the Photos app.

Transform Your Images with AI Relight

Among the new features is Relight, which lets you adjust the lighting in a photo by placing up to three virtual light sources. These sources can each be adjusted for color, intensity, and direction. Additionally, there are several built in preset styles for quicker adjustments. With Relight, you can use the power of AI to dramatically change the mood, tone, and appearance of any photo.

Enhanced Photo Search with Natural Language

The search function in Photos has also been upgraded. This enhancement allows you to search for images using natural language queries instead of traditional keyword based queries. For example, you can type search phrases such as sunset at the beach or family outdoor fun to find relevant images, even if their file names do not match those terms.

Copilot Plus PC Exclusivity and Rollout

To use these innovative features like Relight and the new semantic search, you will need a Snapdragon powered Copilot Plus PC initially. Support for Intel and AMD powered Copilot Plus PCs is expected to roll out over the next few months.
