Managing Pictures in the Photo Gallery
Windows Photo Gallery (New!) is a program that allows you to view, locate, and edit pictures. Windows Photo Gallery shows all the pictures and videos located in the Pictures folder. However, you can add and view other folders on your computer. The left pane in Windows Photo Gallery displays a tree structure like the Folders list that allows you to display pictures by different criteria, including Pictures, Recently Imported, Tags, Date Taken, Ratings, and Folders. To help you sort and search for pictures, you can add tags, ratings, and captions to pictures. The Search box used in all Explorer windows is also available. You can also use the View button next to the Search box to change the icon thumbnail views, view a table of contents, or display groups and sorts.
