PowerPoint NEW Image Editing Tools Explained — Remove Background, Upscale & Edit Images Instantly!

This new "feature" has ruined what was not broken. The AI does not reliably remove the background. It alters, but does not remove. I have an image that I wanted to have a textbox go behind a portion of it. Normally I would make a dupicate of the original image and then remove background, and presto, it's done and working. Not so with this new tool. It won't remove the backing. It changes it, it smooths it, but it won't remove it. When I click "remove background," I want to actually remove, not change the background. Please revert to the former "remove background" tool. It was far far better than this. Now, I need to take the image out to a different program to actually remove the background and then bring it back in. What used to be a 10-20 second task is now going to be several minutes. Don't try to fix the AI - just restore an actual tool that will remove the background. Sure, have your AI editing as another tool - but restore the remove background to it's former glory.

Is there any way to revert this update? The new remove background function is unusable. I can no longer add sections back once the program has decided to remove the entire background so am forced to Frankenstein images together to account for this. Awful new feature. Typical AI rubbish, poorly implemented replacement for something that worked perfectly well for over a decade.
