Windows Photo Gallery
Sun, 01/27/2008 - 12:22 — Lu
The difference between photos and photos you like often depends on the tools you are using. Windows Photo Gallery is a complete photo management tool that is included in all versions of Windows Vista. It allows users to organize their pictures collection, tag them, rate them and even edit them. The editing features are pretty basic (resizing, cropping, red-eye reduction, etc) but also very useful.
In this article you will find a video showing all of Windows Photo Gallery's features and how to work with it so that you effectively manage your pictures collection.

The volume on the tutorial
I had the same problem. When the tutorial was almost finished, the volume increased. Otherwise, it was difficult to hear it.

printing a color photo
When I try to print a color photo from Windows Photo Gallery it only prints in black and white. My printer prints other color documents just fine. I can't find anything about this problem anywhere I've looked. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Color photos printing out in black and white
It may be something this simple: When you select "Print" in Windows Photo Gallery, you will see "Options" listed at the lower right-hand corner; select "Options." Then you should see a section that says color. Make sure that it is set on "color" and not "black and white."
Windows Photo Gallery
Everyone seems to think WPG is wonderful - I find it exasperating for the very simple reason I do not want every picture from every source especially the internet to appear in WPG. With XP I could separate photographs into, for example, photographs from a camera would be filed in different location from, say, pictures/videos from the internet. With Vista it would appear I cannot do that. Why? Am I missing something?
Another Problem
It's rather strange. My photo gallery will open but when I try to edit a photo, even something as simple as cropping a photo, I try to save it, and when I do, I get an error message saying that the file can't be saved.
Does anyone know why?

Gallery has yellow background
I cannot use Photo Gallery because all the colors are wrong. The background is a beige / yellow. I found info on other sites about this and it appears to be related to a color palette, but I tried the various fixes offered and none worked. Media Center shows the same images just fine, as do all other viewers that I have. Still, I'd like to be able to use Photo Gallery. Anyone have a solution?
