The new update for Microsoft Pix, the AI-powered photo editing app, has launched with exciting new features. The app was originally designed to enhance iPhone photos by making tweaks to colour, exposure and other variables but with this latest update, it is offering new fun features, by turning them into art.
The feature is called Pix Styles, similar to the Prisma app, which allows you to transform your photos into works of art, and use other effects. These are not photo filters — the styles actually transfer texture, pattern and tones to the photo. Also similar to Prisma, you can swipe your finger across the style to increase or reduce the effect. When done, you can frame, crop and share the image to social networks, as before.
The app launches today with 11 styles included, but more will be added in the near future, says Microsoft.
A noteworthy factor is that the new features can be used without tapping into your phone’s data plan, or while your phone is offline. Pix works directly with your device itself to run its calculations and doesn’t need to access the cloud.
