Using Windows Live Photo Gallery

Windows Live Photo Gallery is a great tool for managing a large photo collection.
Photo Gallery isn’t a folder where you store files. Rather, it’s a way of organizing and accessing files without having to navigate around multiple folders.

Or better yet, you can locate and work with pictures that have certain things in common, such as all the pictures of your child (if you’re a parent).
The only disadvantage of Windows Live Photo Gallery is that it doesn’t show icons for all pictures and videos. Anything that doesn’t show a thumbnail in your Pictures folder doesn’t show up at all in Photo Gallery! Photo Gallery shows thumbnails for BMP, JFIF, JPEG, JXR, ICO, PNG, TIFF, and WDP photos and WMV, AVI, ASF, and MPEG movies.

- Click Windows Live Photo Gallery on the Start screen.
- Tap
