Windows Live Photo Gallery provides management, tagging, and searching capabilities for digital photos. It provides an image viewer that can replace the default OS image viewer, and a photo import tool that can be used to acquire photos from a camera or other removable media.
Windows Live Photo Gallery allows sharing of photos by uploading them to Windows Live Spaces and Flickr. According to Microsoft, it may gain the ability to upload to other photo sharing sites if the sites agree to using common protocols.[1] Windows Live Photo Gallery is also required for downloading full resolution photos and albums from Windows Live Spaces. It can publish videos to Soapbox on MSN Video.[2] The ability to view animated GIF images is notably absent. Instead, when viewed, it displays every frame of an animated gif which may come in handy if a user wanted only a frame.
Windows Live Photo Gallery includes all the features of Windows Photo Gallery in Windows Vista. It adds several new features including:
Although it is an upgraded version of Windows Photo Gallery, some features (such as themed photo slideshows and video support) which use Windows Vista-specific technologies are not available on Windows XP.
Windows Live Photo Gallery also integrates with Windows Live Sync and allows the synchronization of the photo library between two or more computers with Photo Gallery installed and signed in on the same Windows Live ID.
