Description

Microsoft Photos is an image, picture and snapshot viewer built into the Windows 8 and Windows 10 operating systems, equipped with tools for editing and preparing slideshows from selected materials. Delivered on a computer in a semi-professional solution for those who dream of digitizing memories but are not yet ready to face the paid and confusing solutions from competitors. You don’t even have to download Microsoft Photos – just look in the Start menu, and then – figure out the basic tools and settings.

Features

  • Automatically searches for content on hard drives, attached cloud storage and third-party media selected from the options menu. After forming a list with pictures and images, the Microsoft Photos application will find and highlight people, places and even things and distribute them to catalogs;
  • Developers do not allow digitized memories to stand idle – 2-3 times a week, special “collections” appear on the pages of the viewer, presented in the “Slideshow” format with music. These sets are easy to share on social networks or save to your hard drive for later viewing;
  • You can also prepare clips manually – the Microsoft photo viewer has a special editor where you can easily combine images and music, and then apply filters, special effects and text messages (and even titles!);
  • An unusual way of serving content is fully consistent with Windows 8 and 10: tiles are everywhere, shrinking and enlarging, depending on the source, theme, and even the sources found;
  • Those who are serious will also love the integration of Office 365 with professional effects and added perks. The improved functionality is unlocked separately – along with the Premium purchase. Prices and content options from Microsoft depend on the selected region and the duration of the subscription.

Interface, updates, support

The developers diligently support trends and have already implemented a new dark theme (selected automatically depending on the current time in the system, or manually in the “Parameters”), took care of the privacy and actions of artificial intelligence that adapts to the interests of users who daily or periodically look into their personal library with pictures and materials. And important functional innovations are just the tip of the iceberg: Microsoft does not forget about support for a second. Minor updates appear all the time. Errors are corrected, the interface is being finalized, there are more effects and additional visual solutions, and even the banal speed of processing new sources with unloading content has become higher.

There are no problems with OneDrive – immediately after authorization, the cloud storage will begin to mix the sources into the shared directory, and after that, it will start converting disparate frames, videos and recordings into short clips or slideshows.

Editing, Effects and Display

The basic editor when viewing photos in the Microsoft service is presented in the “Edit and Create” section, next to the “Search” buttons (provides for the detection of files by name, date, location, and even by the description generated depending on the content on the screen), ” Rotate and Crop.

The list of actions presented is serious – Microsoft has provided for the entire procedure, starting with the addition of artistic elements, including the use of graphic tablets and third-party equipment, text or three-dimensional effects played with sound in the “Slideshow” mode (the basic set is serious – drops rain, flying butterflies, falling leaves). Also, titles with music are generated and objects are transferred from Paint3D. Well, if you wish, there are slightly more mundane options for actions, such as disabling sources for transferring materials and the DEL button, which allows you to delete photos in the service from Microsoft and immediately transfer them to the trash (the Shift + Del combination allows you to completely clean up without intermediate actions)…

Microsoft Photos is a great tool for viewing, organizing, editing, and digitally sharing your experience. Photos Microsoft collects photos and videos from all your devices, improves their quality, and organizes them into beautifully designed albums.
