Wrap-Up
You can do lots of things with pictures and photos in Windows 8. You don’t get the kind of power and flexibility you would with a dedicated graphics program such as Adobe Photoshop or Corel Paint Shop Pro. But nonetheless, you can perform the most basic operations such as cropping, red-eye removal, and some file type conversions with just the built-in Windows 8 tools and programs.
The following are the primary points covered in this chapter:
- To get pictures from a digital camera, connect the camera to the computer, turn it on, and choose Import.
- To get pictures from a CD or memory card, insert the card or disk and choose Import. Or open the disk or card and copy files using standard methods.
- To copy-and-paste a picture, right-click the picture and choose Copy. Then right-click at the destination and choose Paste.
- Your Pictures folder is the best place to store pictures.
- Windows Live Photo Gallery lets you organize and find photos as though they were all stored in a single folder.
- Use the Fix button in Photo Gallery to crop and improve pictures.
- Use the Print button in your Pictures folder or Photo Gallery to print pictures.
- Large photos are good for printing and editing. Smaller, compressed photos are best for e-mail and web publishing.
