Digital camera owners will want Microsoft Vista because according to PC Magazine’s Cade Metz, “It’s loaded with new multimedia tools.”
Cade goes on to write how all those multimedia tools in Windows XP are just child’s play in comparison to Vista’s multimedia arsenal. Vista really is the place to manage all your digital photos.
Cade writes, ” The moment I first opened Vista’s new Photo Gallery tool, I knew Microsoft had gotten it right. Finally, a single place where we can organize, edit, and share our digital photos. Win XP failed to offer any editing or sharing options and its organizational tools were almost an insult. With Photo Gallery, you can organize videos as well as photos, quickly searching and sorting then via tags, dates, and ratings. I love the “slider” button, which lets you instantly resize the thumbnails on your virtual light-table and the slide-show effect dynamically pans and zooms each photo.”
One other cool Vista trick is that Photo Gallery integrates with the updated Windows Movie Maker, which means you can instantly, easily move photos and videos from one to the other, making for some very neat transitions and effects.
