We all love pictures, whether they're photographs that record the significant events in our lives, candid shots of people, pets, and places, or pictures we've drawn ourselves. And, of course, one of the things we love to do with our pictures is to share them with other people. Whether you want to send your pictures via e-mail to far-flung friends and relatives, add them to your Web page, or lend some color to your documents with an original drawing or two, Windows Vista provides all the tools you need for professional-looking results.

The Windows Photo Gallery is your best friend when you're working with your picturesit helps you sort and organize them so that you can find them easily, and you can even add captions, titles, and sequential numbering. You can use a wizard to move your digital camera pictures onto your computer, and then you can edit the pictures to improve them if necessarycropping them, removing "red eye," and so on. You can create a dynamic slide show, with zooming, panning, and transitions as you move from one picture to another, and you can even include a video clip and a soundtrack.

You can create your own drawings or edit existing ones in the Paint program, using Paint's tools to create the special effects you want. Even if you're not a great artist, it can be a lot of fun!
