In the text prompt box, type a description of the style you wish to apply and click Send. For example, you might enter, 'A cyperpunk style with neon glowing edges, characterized by casting a surreal glow over a night time scene.'
You can choose from a variety of preset styles such as Fantasy, Anime, Impressionism, Pixel art and more. Decide whether to apply the effects to the foreground, background, or the entire image.

Our reviews of the various Copilot+ PCs are still coming through, but you can read our thoughts on the HP OmniBook X and Asus VivoBook S 15 here. What's true is that CoPilot+ PCs will continue to improve. At present some key apps (like Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and After Effects) won't run on these PCs which is why you'll want to make use of inbuilt tools like Restyle Image.
And beyond image creation, you can also use Copilot on your phone to plan a vacation, write a song, or even create a business plan.
