Contextual items in the Album view allow you to edit the name of the album or change the cover photo.

These allow you to select multiple items for a specific action like copying, printing, or adding to a specific album, or to start a slideshow, refresh the current file view, or import from a camera or mobile device. Within the main viewer of “Collection,” and in the nested album or photo viewers of the other tabs, a series of controls appear on the upper-right portion of the interface.

To add folders to this view, click “Choose where to look” to go to the Photos Settings page, then click “Add a folder” to manually select one in Windows Explorer. “Albums” is a series of automatically-created photo albums, organized according to the Photo app’s internal logic, though you can add your own and remove or add photos to existing albums.Īnd “Folders” is merely a tab for all of the photos on your machine in specific folders-your OneDrive photo folder and your assigned “Pictures” folder in Windows, by default. “Collection” is a view of your most recent photos and screenshots, displayed in reverse order by date. You can choose any of the three at any time by clicking the relevant tab, above the main interface and below the “Photos” application label. The Photos app offers three different interfaces when looking for photos: Collection, Album, and Folders. If something else has taken over those duties, it’s easy to reset the status quo: press the “Start” button, type “default,” then click the first search result, “Default app settings.” Under “Photo viewer,” click the “Photos” icon. The Photos app is already set up as the default image viewer in Windows 10. Even if it’s not, just press “Start” and then begin typing “photos” to bring it up quickly via search. Starting up the Photos app is pretty simple: for most new machines and fresh installations of Windows 10, it’s already in the Start menu as a big tile. Here are all the different things you can do with the Photos app… assuming you want to.

The result, the innocuously-titles “Photos” app, can be less than intuitive. But with Windows 10, Microsoft decided to try and mash browsing, organizing, and viewing all together in one application, with some basic editing to boot. As a fairly versatile operating system, Windows has always had ways of browsing and viewing photos.
