Understanding picture types
In the computer world, the terms picture, photo, image, graphic image, and digital image all refer to the same thing — a still picture. Windows 8 offers lots of great tools for organizing, editing, printing, and e-mailing pictures.
Today’s hard disks have room to store many thousands of photos. The Windows Live Photo Gallery, an optional add-on for Windows, provides an easy way to organize and find photos based on keywords called tags. The Edit tab in Photo Gallery makes common tasks such as cropping and red-eye removal a breeze.
Much of this chapter focuses on Windows Live Photo Gallery as the primary tool for managing photos. You can download Windows Live Photo Gallery from http://explore.live.com/windows-live-photo-gallery and click the Windows Live Photo Gallery link to be taken to the page where you can download Photo Gallery.
