Utilizing Copilot for Picture Editing: A Comprehensive Guide

Microsoft’s Copilot is a versatile AI tool designed for generating and editing images. While it can’t edit user-uploaded images currently, it offers substantial capabilities for manipulating AI-generated pictures. Below is a structured guide on how to effectively use Copilot for image editing.

How to Use Copilot to Edit Pictures

Here’s a step-by-step approach to using Copilot for image creation and editing:

  1. Open Copilot: Ensure you are signed in, then enter a prompt to generate an image (e.g., “a cute little squirrel”).
  2. Generate Images: Wait a few seconds for Copilot to create a set of four images based on your prompt.
  3. Select and Customize: Choose the image you want to modify and click on the “Customize” button to open the Designer.
  4. Edit the Image: Utilize the editing tools in the Designer tab to adjust brightness, contrast, and other visual settings.
  5. Apply Filters: Choose from different filters and use sliders to adjust their intensity.
  6. Use AI Tools: Try out AI-powered edits like the “Blur Background” feature to enhance focus on subjects.
  7. Download Your Work: After finalizing edits, click “Download” to save your image in your desired format (PNG, JPEG, or PDF).

Other Ways to Edit Pictures with Copilot

If you prefer a more automated approach, consider these options:

Use Prompts and Ask Copilot to Edit for You

Instead of manually editing, you can instruct Copilot to make specific changes. For example:

  • Request to make the image more cartoonish or animated.
  • Ask for brightness adjustments or additional elements to be added to the scene.

Use In-Line Editing in Copilot

If available in your version, in-line editing allows for detailed adjustments:

  1. Generate an Image: Create your image as described previously.
  2. Select an Image: Click on one of the four generated images.
  3. Element Selection: Hover to choose individual parts of the image for targeted edits, such as blurring specific areas or enhancing elements as suggested by Copilot.

These methods provide diverse approaches to harness Copilot’s capabilities for image editing, catering to both hands-on creators and those seeking quick modifications.
