What's new in Microsoft Photos 2021.21120 for Windows 11 | Improvement to UI and new editing tools

Microsoft is rolling out a new update for the Microsoft Photos app for Windows 11. This update includes user interface features enhancements and tweaks to make editing a better experience for Windows 11 PC.
Let's see what's new in this release...

Microsoft Photos New Features

  1. The cropping tool is no longer displayed on the side, it is relocated to the bottom.
  2. Now, when choosing an aspect ratio to crop to, you can choose a landscape or portrait orientation right away.
  3. Additionally, when you adjust the cropping area, you can now see the exact resolution the image is being cropped to.
  4. Ability to flip the image vertically or horizontally.
  5. Another change is that if you try to edit a transparent image, you’ll see the typical checkered background to indicate that the background is transparent. This only happens when editing the image, and it will be simply transparent when you’re just viewing it.
  6. The update also includes changes over in the Adjustments tab. All the controls are now displayed by default.
  7. The Filters tab has some new filters with new names that should make it a little clearer what each filter does.
  8. One last change is that the ability to draw on images is now in its own tab called Mark-up in the general photo editor.

Microsoft Photos Removed Features

  1. The “clarity” slider seems to have been removed. You also no longer have features like red-eye removal and spot fix, which is hopefully just an oversight and will be addressed in future updates.
