大多数 Windows 7 用户都很看重 Windows Media Player 12(value Windows Media Player 12)，因为它允许他们方便直观地导入、组织和查找他们的音频和视频文件(audio and video files)。但是您知道Windows Media Player 12可以为图片做同样的事情吗？使用Windows Media Player 12 ，您可以像排序和播放(Windows Media Player 12)音乐和电视节目(music and TV shows)一样快速轻松地对库(Library)中的图片进行排序、标记、评分和查看(rate and view)。在本教程中，我们将向您展示如何对图片进行排序、编辑其详细信息和播放幻灯片。
设置图片库
在开始本教程之前，请确保您已将一些文件夹添加到您的图片库(Pictures Library)。您可以在Windows Media Player 12中执行此操作（请参阅：Windows Media Player 12 -新功能及其(New and How)工作原理）或从Windows 资源管理器(Windows Explorer)（请参阅：库- (Libraries)Windows 7的一项重要功能）。
此外，如果您想从数码相机或移动设备导入图片，请阅读将图片从相机或移动设备(Camera or Mobile Device)导入Windows 7。
在Windows Media Player 12(Windows Media Player 12)中对图片进行排序
现在您的图库(Library)中有一些图片，是时候对它们进行排序、标记和评分(tag and rate)了，这样您就可以快速浏览它们了。正如您在我们之前的教程“解释Windows 资源管理器视图(Windows Explorer Views)”中所记得的那样，您可以使用各种不同的视图浏览播放器库(Player Library)中的Windows Media Player 12 。图标视图(Icon View)（此处显示）通过方便的缩略图为您提供整洁的排列。在任何视图中，您都可以通过单击其中一列对图片进行排序。单击(Click)一次以升序排序，再次单击(order and click)以降序排序。再次单击以删除(Click)排序规则(sort rule).
在下图中，我们按标签升序对图片进行了排序。因此，所有带有动物(Animals)标签的图片都显示在顶部。您可以单击标签以选择所有带有该标签的照片。
同样，如果您单击其他列，它们将根据该值按升序或降序排序。所选列没有值的图片（在此示例中，没有标签的图片）将出现在有值的图片下方。
使用Windows Media Player 12(Windows Media Player 12)编辑图片详细信息
在Windows Media Player 12中编辑标签、标题和其他图片信息(picture information)似乎比在以前的版本Windows Media Player 11中要(Windows Media Player 11)笨重(bit clunkier)一些。尽管 Windows Media Player 11(Whereas Windows Media Player 11)包含“高级标签编辑器” ，但('advanced tag editor')Windows Media Player 12中没有这样的功能。在Windows Media Player 12中排除高级标签编辑器是一个小谜团，但许多用户报告了一些围绕(tag editor)Windows Media Player 11中的功能的错误问题。高级标签编辑器从(Advanced tag)Windows Media Player 12获得斧头很可能是变相的改进。无论如何，没有它你当然可以过得去。
代替高级标签编辑器(tag editor)，在查看图片库(Picture Library)时弹出详细信息视图(Details View)。
接下来，您需要选择显示哪些详细信息。为此，请右键单击任何列，然后单击(column and click) “选择列”('Choose columns')。
在选择列窗口(columns window)中，您将看到可用详细信息的列表。选中/取消选中您希望显示或隐藏的那些。您还可以上下移动它们以更改它们在播放器库(Player Library)中的显示方式。您还可以选中“自动隐藏列”('Hide columns automatically')选项，如果没有显示的图片包含该特定详细信息的值，该选项将隐藏列，无论您选择隐藏还是显示它。完成后单击确定(OK)。
现在，当您返回图片库的(Pictures Library)详细信息视图(Details View)时，您将看到显示的所选列(chosen columns)。现在，对列进行排序更加有用，因为您可以获得所有文件的漂亮列表视图(list view)。要编辑任何给定值，只需右键单击它并单击Edit。您可以通过左键单击“详细信息视图”(Details View)中的星号或右键单击并选择“评分”来对图片进行评分(Rate)。
在Windows Media Player 12中播放图片幻灯片(Slideshows)
既然您已将所有图片合并、标记和分类，是时候欣赏它们了。Windows Media Player 12具有基本的幻灯片放映功能(slideshow feature)，可让您像播放歌曲一样“播放”图片。只需(Simply)选择您希望包含在幻灯片中的图片，然后单击(slideshow and click) 播放(Play)。
图片将在“正在播放”(Now Playing)模式中显示 4 秒钟，然后再转到下一张。您可以使用播放控件(Playback Controls)暂停、向前或向后跳过。如果您已完成所有操作，请单击右上角的图标以返回Player Library。
结论
正如其名，Windows Media Player 12可以处理所有类型的媒体——包括图片。虽然它没有为您提供许多图片组织程序共有的任何强大的编辑、共享或导出功能，但它确实为您提供了一种从熟悉的界面浏览所有图片的快速方便的方法。如需进一步阅读，请查看如何使用Windows Media Player 12通过家庭网络(Your Home Network)流式传输音乐(Stream Music)。尽管我们在标题中只提到了音乐，但这种方法可以让您查看家庭网络(home network)上其他计算机的图片。此外，请务必查看我们的其他Windows Media Player 12文章。
How to Sort, Tag and Rate Pictures in Windows Media Player 12
Most Windows 7 users value Windows Media Player 12 because it allows them to conveniently and intuitiνely import, organize and find their audio and video files. Bυt did you know that Windows Media Player 12 can do the same for pictures? Using Windowѕ Media Player 12, you can sort, tag, rаte and view the pictures in your Library as quickly and easily as it is to sort and play your music and TV shows. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to sort your pictures, edit their details and play slideshows.
Setting Up Your Pictures Library
Before beginning this tutorial, make sure that you've added some folders to your Pictures Library. You can do this from within Windows Media Player 12 (see: Windows Media Player 12 - What's New and How It Works) or from Windows Explorer (see: Libraries - A Great Feature of Windows 7).
Also, if you want to import pictures from your digital camera or mobile device, read Importing Pictures from a Camera or Mobile Device into Windows 7.
Sorting Pictures in Windows Media Player 12
Now that you have some pictures in your Library, it's time to sort, tag and rate them so you can browse through them quickly. As you'll remember from our previous tutorial, Explaining the Windows Explorer Views, you can browse through Windows Media Player 12 in the Player Library with various different views. The Icon View (shown here) gives you a tidy arrangement with convenient thumbnails. In any view, you can sort through your pictures by clicking on one of the columns. Click once to sort in ascending order and click again to sort in descending order. Click once more to remove the sort rule.
In the picture below, we've sorted the pictures by tag in ascending order. As such, all pictures with the tag Animals are displayed at the top. You can click the tag to select all the photos with that tag.
Likewise, if you click other columns, they will sort in ascending or descending order depending on that value. Pictures that do not have a value for the selected column (in this example, pictures without tags) will appear below the pictures that do have values.
Editing Picture Details with Windows Media Player 12
Editing tags, captions and other picture information is seemingly a bit clunkier in Windows Media Player 12 than in the previous version, Windows Media Player 11. Whereas Windows Media Player 11 included the 'advanced tag editor', there is no such feature in Windows Media Player 12. The exclusion of the advanced tag editor in Windows Media Player 12 is a minor mystery, but many users reported some buggy issues surrounding the feature in Windows Media Player 11. Advanced tag editor getting the ax from Windows Media Player 12 is likely an improvement in disguise. At any rate, you can certainly get by without it.
In lieu of advanced tag editor, pop into Details View while viewing your Picture Library.
Next, you'll want to choose which details are displayed. To do so, right-click any column and click 'Choose columns'.
In the choose columns window, you'll see a list of available details. Check/uncheck the ones you wish to show or hide. You can also move them up or down to change how they appear in the Player Library. You can also check the 'Hide columns automatically' option which will hide a column if no pictures displayed contain a value for that particular detail, regardless of whether you've opted to hide or show it. Click OK when you're done.
Now, when you return to the Details View of your Pictures Library, you'll see the chosen columns displayed. Sorting columns is even more useful now, as you get a nice list view of all your files. To edit any given value, simply right-click on it and click Edit. You can rate a picture by left-clicking a star in the Details View or right-clicking and choosing Rate.
Playing Picture Slideshows in Windows Media Player 12
Now that you have your pictures all consolidated, tagged and sorted, it's time to enjoy them. Windows Media Player 12 has a rudimentary slideshow feature that lets you 'play' pictures just like you would songs. Simply select the pictures you'd like to include in your slideshow and click Play.
Pictures will be displayed in the Now Playing mode for 4 seconds before moving on to the next one. You can pause, skip forward or backward by using the Playback Controls. If you're all done, click the upper-right icon to return to the Player Library.
Conclusion
True to its name, Windows Media Player 12 handles all types of media - including pictures. While it doesn't give you any powerful editing, sharing or exporting features common to many picture organizing programs, it does give you a quick and convenient way to browse through all your pictures from a familiar interface.
