While it seems no reason you need to switch back, some of you may still prefer the old Windows Photo Viewer for its simplicity. This view is best for browsing through a set of pictures to find the ones you want to work with and for applying the same edit to multiple pictures at once.If you are on Windows 10, you may notice that the default photo app, which used to be Windows Photo Viewer, has been replaced by the modern Photo app which looks much like the new Edge browser. Thumbnail view This view displays miniatures of the pictures in the selected folders so you can see and work with many pictures at once. Which view is best to use depends on how many pictures you need to see at once and how much detail you need to see for each picture. Picture Manager has three options for viewing your pictures: Thumbnail, Filmstrip, and Single Picture. The Edit Pictures task pane is where the editing tools are located that enable you to make corrections to your pictures. You can change how they appear by selecting options on the Views toolbar. The preview pane is where the pictures display. The Picture Shortcuts pane is where you add shortcuts to folders that contain the pictures you want to work with. For Windows 10 we recommend using the Photos app that you can install for free from the Microsoft Store in Windows. Note: Picture Manager is not supported in Office 2013 and later versions.
