Looks like the repaced it, and knowing Microsoft, the Windows Vista, renamed Windows Photo Gallery Viewer is probably worse (anyone with experience comment?).
I really like Windows Photo Gallery. Compared to it's XP predecessor, it allows you to tap and drag within a photo to move around (rather than necessitating on the scroll bars), and you can zoom (and center) to the mouse position using the scroll wheel (kinda like pinching a photo with the iPhone). The navigation actually works just like Google Maps does on a computer web browser. There's also a new fix photo menu, which the old XP viewer didn't have, allowing iphoto-like editting (auto-adjust, red-eye correction, cropping). Like iPhoto, the original image gets saved, untouched, in the background. |
