Quick & Easy Photo Editing Tool Also A Free Download
Do you like one-click simple? Do you like free? Are you tired of Mac fanatics smugly telling you how great iLife is? Do you ever e-mail photos, and need to do a little touching-up (cropping, maybe) first?
If you answered "yes" to one of these questions, you might find the "Media Center" program Photo Gallery to be just the ticket, and if you have a Vista machine or XP Media Center Edition, you already have this neat little app at the click of your Start button -- it's built-in.
(I use the crop, and 1-click red-eye removal the most..)
- Enhance your photos
Enhance your photos by adjusting things like color and exposure. Improve your photos with simple crop and red-eye fixes. Create a panoramic view by combining multiple photos. Capture the moment by adding captions.
- Easily share your photos
The "Publish" button makes it simple to share your photos and videos online. Or you can easily e-mail as many photos as you’d like to friends and family. You can also display your photos with cool screensavers and slideshows.
- Quickly find and organize your photos and videos
Import your photos from your digital camera; the Windows Live Photo Gallery will automatically organize them based on date and time. Keep your images organized by name, date, rating, and type. Locate similar photos with tags you add.
- Download photo albums
Photo Gallery allows you to download entire albums from Windows Live Spaces at high resolution.
If you aren't using one of those two OS's, you can download the program. It is one part of Microsoft's line of "Live" services. I wrote about Microsoft "Live" previously, to read that article click here. Also, if you're curious about what else is offered (free) as part of "Live", please read fellow Tech blogger Rick Robinette's vignette, Windows Live…
This screenshot shows the photo editing mode. You can see that there's a 1-click "auto-adjust", and a 1-click red-eye removal, as well as a 1-click Undo. There are more 'advanced' color and contrast adjustments as well.
The bottom controls are for the built-in slideshow feature.
This program is one of the 'enhancements' in Vista that most everyone can appreciate and make use of. And, I think that it's fairly decent of Microsoft to make it freely available for download.
Today's free download: Windows Photo Gallery. Simplify the way you work with photos. Windows Live Photo Gallery makes it easy to import, organize, edit, and share your digital memories.
