“Easily organize, optimize and share your pictures”
by Elena Santos
Windows Live includes a pack of beta services that Microsoft has made available for downloading. One of these utilities is Windows Live Photo Gallery, which is included in Vista as the standard photo viewer.
This app enables you to organize your photo collection, see it as a slideshow, use it as a screensaver and even optimize them with a set of basic editing tools such as red eye removal, brightness and contrast adjustment or image crop, amongst others.
After a somewhat garbled installation, you'll find that the program itself is very easy to use. The interface follows the typical Microsoft's design for some other tools of theirs, like Windows Media Player.
However, there are some issues that make it clear why this program is still in beta. It seems that Windows Live Photo Gallery has trouble when rendering thumbnails and sometimes uses the default icon instead of the actual photo. Also, I found the optimization tools quite clunky and their results not really that rewarding.
