Microsoft Paint Gets New AI-Powered Background Removal Tool

Microsoft Paint is getting a new background removal tool similar to Photoshop's. It detects and isolates the main subject with one click.
The new feature is rolling out to Windows Insiders first. Anyone can join the program and preview upcoming Windows features.
The tool looks for the outlines of the main subject and lets users refine the selection. It's meant to easily remove image backgrounds.
Paint may also get AI image generation features in the future, based on recent rumors. This shows Microsoft is investing more in the app.
Photoshop's background removal tool can struggle with busy backgrounds and poor contrast. Testing will reveal if Paint's version works better.
