![]() You can also tap on a date to show all past months to quickly zoom to past photos. This lets you use Cortana to call up photos from certain date ranges, so you can say, “Hey Cortana, show me photos from last summer!” It also organizes newly imported photos by date and creates a Collection for the new import. The importer does, however, apply auto-correct (which you can turn off in settings) and hides exact duplicates. I’m somewhat disappointed with this importer, since it doesn’t have the Windows 7 “Import pictures and videos” feature’s ability to let you apply keyword tags, choose a save location, and erase the card after import. It isn’t feature rich by any means but then again, it merely needs to open images and maybe print them out. The Windows Photo Viewer was the default app to do so and has served its purpose well over the years. ![]() Photo viewing in Windows has been relatively non-spectacular for a long time now. Next, you see a screen confirming the import, like this: Choosing Import using Photos makes sense. When you pop a memory card (such as an SD card) into a USB slot in your PC, Windows 10 asks you how it should handle that action, using what app. But don’t let its simple design fool you the app holds its own as a photo viewer and management solution, as you’ll see later. This leaves the app looking clean and uncluttered. What the Photos app does best is hide most of its functionality away. The company put a lot of emphasis on this new version during its Windows 10 event in January, and talked about how the app, along with other built-in Windows 10 apps, would gradually be updated over time. Microsoft completely overhauled its Modern Photos app in Windows 10, and it builds upon what was offered in Windows 8/8.1. It carried over many of the basic features like importing, photo editing, sharing, and slideshows but left out more power-user features like advanced tagging, panorama and collage creation, and image fusing. In the Modern Windows age, Microsoft replaced Photo Gallery with the Photos app. Of course, those that wanted more always had the option to download the Windows Live Photo Gallery app, but the Windows Live Essentials suite are no longer considered essential, having been discontinued after the release of Windows 8 in 2012. Let’s take a closer look at this capable new part of Windows 10’s toolkit. It’s much closer to something like Mac OS X’s Photos app than to Paint. The new Photos app includes image correction and enhancement, as well as organization capabilities. Windows 10 rights a lot of Windows 8’s wrongs, and the Photos app is one noteworthy example. The only problem: It could hardly do anything with them. When Windows 8 launched, it included a Photos app that opened your images by default. Therefore I pieced together what I could find from here ( and ) ![]() I have not been able to find a official tutorial for the Windows 10 Photo App, aka Microsoft Photos.
