Microsoft is set to introduce Adobe AI editing tools into the native Photos application on Windows 11. The company plans to launch a preview version for Windows Insider program members starting in December.
The integration will allow users to access Adobe Express design workflows directly within the Photos app. Users can preview their images with personalized templates before transitioning to the Adobe Express platform to complete their edits.
The new extension feature will be accessible via the crop and aspect ratio menu in the photo editor. The interface will include a specific label indicating that the functionality is powered by Adobe.
While Adobe Express offers a free tier, it remains unclear whether the new integration will require an Adobe account or if specific templates will be gated behind a subscription. Microsoft has not yet confirmed details regarding potential trial prompts or premium features.
