Viewing Your Photos


It's easy to become overwhelmed by the proliferation of pictures on your computer, especially when they're stored in a variety of locations. We've found that the best way to access and sort all those pictures and to organize them so that you can easily locate them is to use the Windows Photo Gallery. The Photo Gallery automatically includes all the pictures and photographs that are stored in your Pictures folder, as well as any that are contained in subfolders.

Browse Your Photos

Click the Start button, type photo in the Search box, and click Windows Photo Gallery to start the Photo Gallery.

Scroll through the photos, noting that they're grouped by date.

Point to a photo to see an enlarged version of it, along with other details.

To rotate a photo, click to select it, and then click the Rotate Clockwise or the Rotate Counterclockwise button.

To view the other photos in sequence, click the Next Image button (or press the Right arrow key); or to view the pictures in reverse order, click the Previous Image button (or press the Left arrow key).

To view a photo in detail, double-click it.

Use the controls to change the magnification (zoom) of the image, to see additional photos, or to rotate the photo.

Click the Back To Gallery button when you've finished.

Find Your Photos

Click the type of category you want to use to classify the photos, if the list isn't already expanded.

Click the category you want to use. If necessary, click any subcategories to expand them, and then select the category you want.

View the photos in that category.

If you want to find a specific photo within the selected category, click in the Search box, and start typing a name, file type, or tag (classification) for the photo.

Try This!

Click the Views button next to the Search box, and choose a different view of your photos. Click the button again, and choose a different way to group and then sort the photos. Click the button again, and choose to show the table of contents. If the Info pane is open, click Close to close it. Use the Zoom Control to change the size of your photos. Now use the Views button to restore grouping and sorting, the Info button to display the Info pane, and the Reset Thumbnails To Default Size button to undo your zooming.


Tip

To search all items in the Photo Gallery, either click the All Pictures And Videos category, or click the down arrow at the right of the Search box and choose Search All Items In Photo Gallery from the list. Then conduct your search.
