Microsoft Windows Photos

Description

Microsoft Windows Photos, also known as Microsoft Photos, is a photo organizer that allows users to edit, share, and take photos. It is bundled with the Windows operating system.

Windows Photos lets you use your built in camera or connected webcam for photos and panoramas. You can also import photos from phones, cameras, USB flash drives, and other devices. Your photos can be viewed in many ways, including in apps and on your lock screen. Once you take or import your photos, Windows Photos gives you tools to edit them. You can adjust the color and lighting of the photo, crop and rotate it, fix any blemishes and apply other effects.

Once you are satisfied with your photos (or at the very least some content), you can store them in OneDrive (previously SkyDrive). This storage space is easy to share and can be accessed from anywhere. OneDrive also allows you to automatically upload photos and videos directly from your phone or camera to OneDrive. Windows Photos also enables you to share your photos directly from the app. You can share your photos by posting them online, emailing them to friends and family, or printing them. You can also use apps from Windows Store to post to photo sharing sites such as Flickr and social networking sites like Facebook.

Although Microsoft Windows Photos doesn't offer as advanced features as some other photo organizers, it is plenty helpful for the basic Windows user. It offers a simple photo organizing interface, useful editing tools, and convenient storage space. This storage space is especially useful if you have multiple Windows devices, such as a tablet, phone, or PC. Microsoft Windows Photos is a great option for anyone who uses Windows and wants a simple, but useful, photo organizer.
