Understanding Other Picture Options
You can do more than just browse through files in the Pictures library, however. For example, you can run a photo slideshow directly from this library-or from any folder or subfolder within the library. Just click the Slide Show button on the toolbar and you get a nice full-screen slideshow. Select a picture file and you get even more options:
- Preview the file in a photo editing program by clicking the Preview button and then choosing one of the listed programs.
- Print a copy of the selected file by clicking the Print button. This
opens the Print Pictures window, shown in Figure below, select the layout
in the right pane, as well as the number of copies to print; then
click the Print button.
- Email a copy of the selected file by clicking the E-mail button; this opens the Attach Files dialog box. Select the size of the picture you want to send (in general, resizing smaller makes it easier to both send and receive), and then Windows will open your default email program with a new message with attachment open.
Tip To view larger versions of each picture in the Pictures library, click the View button on the Windows Explorer toolbar and move the slider up to the Large or Extra Large Icons view.
