1. Choose Start.All Programs.Windows Photo Gallery.

2. In the resulting Windows Photo Gallery window, you can use the tools at the bottom to do any of the following:

• The Next and Previous icons move to a previous or following image in the same folder.

• The Display Size icon in the shape of a magnifying glass displays a slider you can click and drag to change the size of the image thumbnails.

• The Delete button deletes the selected image.

• The Rotate Clockwise and Rotate Counterclockwise icons spin the image 90 degrees at a time.

• The center Play Slide Show button with a slide image on it displays the images in your Picture folder in a continuous slide show.

3. Click any of the items on the left to choose which images to display (such as those taken in a certain year or saved in a certain folder).

Did you upload a photo from your camera but you don’t remember what you called it? If you want to find a photo you imported to the Photo Gallery from a camera or scanner in the recent past, click the Recently Imported folder in the picture list on the left.

4. Some of the buttons at the top of the window are listed here;

• File displays commands for working with the file, such as Delete and Rename.

• Fix displays the selected image with image manipulation tools.

• Info displays information about the image, such as the date created and size.

• Print is the button to click to print the selected image.

• Create allows you to create a DVD, movie, or data disc using the image.

• E-mail opens a dialog box to specify the image to be attached to an e-mail using your default mail program.

• Open allows you to open the image in another program, such as Paint, which you can use to edit the image.

5. When you finish viewing and working with images, click the Close button in the top right corner to close the Photo Gallery

If you make a change to a photo in the gallery using the Fix feature, Windows saves a copy of the original photo in case you want to restore it. By default the original photo is never ever deleted, but you can change that to save space. Choose File.Option, and in the Windows Photo Gallery Options dialog box, select a different setting in the Move Originals to Recycle Bin after drop-down list, such as one month or six months.
