Apparently we had not set that on our testbed, but Windows Live Photo Gallery left us hanging and didn't tell us what to do. This feature is supposed to pop up the default e-mail client you've set within Microsoft Windows.
When we highlighted pictures and hit the E-mail button, we weren't taken to any e-mail service. There are also tie-ins to e-mail from Photo Gallery, which we wish operated without a speed bump. And while we could easily crop a photo, we couldn't find a way to resize it before sending it in an e-mail to a friend who wanted to receive a ready-made thumbnail rather than the full 2,048x1,536 pixels. Plus, it was hard to see the folders where the images were stored, and you only see image file names when you roll over or open the image. However, we couldn't figure out why this feature worked sometimes and failed at other times. As you mouse over pictures in the gallery, larger thumbnails will pop up to provide a better view. You can stitch together photos for a panoramic effect.Īnd there's new QuickTime support, so you can preview any videos mixed in with your pictures. You can tag pictures by topic and upload them to Flickr, Windows Live Spaces, and MSN Soapbox. If you haven't set the time on your camera, however, prepare for headaches. It will also cluster pictures taken within a day of each other, similar to the Events feature within Apple iPhoto '08. When you import photos from a camera, Photo Gallery will auto-rotate them to display upright. Windows Live Photo Gallery enables photo management and quick fixes, such as red-eye removal, exposure adjustment, and cropping. Mail will reflect when your IM contacts are online and then take you to Messenger's chatting interface when you want an instant conversation.
Windows Live Messenger, which we've reviewed separately, hooks into both Windows Live Mail and the online Hotmail. Windows Live Mail also enables digital signatures and encryption. You can change these settings and create lists of blocked and safe senders for extra protection. By default, Windows Live Mail is set to the highest spam-blocking and anti-phishing filters.
