When Google unveiled the Magic Eraser AI tool for Android, it took the world by storm. With it, you can quickly and easily erase details (or unwanted people) from your photos. Now Windows is getting its version of the tool, dubbed Generative erase.Microsoft built Generative erase on top of its existing Spot Fix tool found in the current version of the Photos app. But Spot Fix didn't use AI and produced results that weren't always realistic. Generative erase, as the name implies, uses AI to remove unwanted details from photos, and at least in Microsoft's examples, it produces a more natural outcome. The biggest benefit of tools like Magic Eraser and Generative erase is ease of use. You could fire up Photoshop to eliminate photobombers, for instance, but that takes some skill and knowledge (and an Adobe subscription). With Generative erase, just open the free Photos app, click the Erase button, and brush over the details you want to delete. In one example, Microsoft shows removing people from a background, while in another, Generate Erase removes a dog's leash, leaving behind fur you couldn't see in the original photo.Alongside Generative erase, Microsoft also announced that it's bringing its Photos AI tools—including Blur background, Remove and Replace background, and Generative erase—to Arm64 devices and Windows 10. That latter part is surprising, given Microsoft's attempts to push people to upgrade to Windows 11, but it's certainly welcome for holdouts. For now, Generative erase is limited to those on Insider builds and is rolling out to all channels. You'll need to update the Photos app to version 2024.11020.21001.0 or higher. When we checked on our Windows Insider machine, that version wasn't available yet, so this may be a slow rollout.
