照片(Photos)应用程序是一个相对较新的应用程序，因为尽管它是在Windows 8中首次引入以取代旧的Windows 照片查看器，但它随着(Windows Photo Viewer)Windows 10的每次新迭代而不断发展。如今，照片(Photos)不仅仅是一个普通的图片查看器，而是一个复杂的应用程序，为(picture viewer)照片和视频(photographs and videos)提供了大量的编辑和组织工具。您可以在Windows 10的照片(Photos)应用程序中执行以下 14 项不同的操作，从浏览图片到创建相册、添加 3D 效果、创建视频等：
注意：(NOTE:)如果您不知道如何在 Windows 10 中打开照片应用程序，请阅读：在 Windows 10(Windows 10)中(Photos)启动照片应用程序(Windows 10)的(Photos app)9 种方法。
1.浏览(Browse)您的照片集
打开照片(Photos)应用程序后，它会立即在名为Collection的选项卡中显示您的照片。您拥有的所有照片均按日期组织，并分为(date and split)月和日。此外，在窗口的右侧，您可以按年向下滚动。
如果您调整“照片(Photos)”窗口的大小并增加其大小，它会重新排列您收藏中的照片以使其更适合其窗口，并且在顶部，它还会显示您的一些相册、视频创作或收藏的照片（如果有）任何。
2. 查看、创建和编辑相册
在相册(Albums)选项卡中，照片(Photos)应用程序会显示您创建的所有相册，以及应用程序自动为您创建的一系列相册。
相册是跟踪您的故事的好方法。例如，您可以创建一个相册，其中包含您在一个特殊的地方旅行时拍摄的所有照片，一个包含您在圣诞节(Christmas)与父母和亲戚一起拍摄的所有照片，等等。要创建相册(photo album)，请在相册(Albums)页面上单击或点击新相册(New album)。
然后，使用照片(Photos)应用程序浏览您的收藏并选择要添加到新相册中的照片（和视频）。
选择完照片后，单击或点击(click or tap) 照片(Photos)应用右上角的创建。(Create)
立即，照片(Photos)应用程序会创建您的新相册，加载其内容，并向您显示它的幻灯片预览。但是，它称为Album，因此您可能希望将其名称更改为更具描述性的名称。为此，请单击或点击(click or tap)专辑(Album)名称旁边的小笔，然后输入新名称并按(name and press) 完成(Done)。
在预览下方，还有一个观看(Watch)按钮：如果您按下它，照片(Photos)应用程序会向您显示您的相册的视频，该视频是由应用程序自动创建的。如果你喜欢它，你可以保存它。
此外，如果您想更改它的某些内容，您可以选择使用视频编辑器(Video Editor)应用程序对其进行编辑，或者简单地重新混合(Remix)它并让应用程序随机生成更改。
如果您喜欢照片(Photos)应用程序自动创建的内容，您可以完成视频(Finish video)并选择您希望对其进行编码的视频质量(video quality)。如果您的硬件有能力，您甚至可以选择“使用硬件加速编码”("Use hardware-accelerated encoding")来加快编码过程(encoding process)。
最后，您还应该知道照片(Photos)应用程序可以将您的相册保存在OneDrive中，允许您从所有连接云的设备访问它们。为此，您所要做的就是打开相册，然后单击(album and click)或点击窗口顶部的“保存在 OneDrive 中” 。("Save in OneDrive")
3.查看带有图片的文件夹并将新文件夹添加到您的照片库(Photos library)
照片(Photos)应用程序的另一个有用功能是它能够按文件夹显示图片。您可以从“文件夹(Folders)”选项卡中执行此操作。
此外，您还可以使用同一选项卡将新文件夹添加到您的照片(Photos)库，方法是单击或点击“添加文件夹”("Add a folder")磁贴，浏览 Windows 10 PC，然后选择要包含在库中的文件夹。
4.将新文件从文件夹或USB 设备(USB device)（智能手机、相机或其他）导入(Import)照片应用程序(Photos app)
当您想要将图片和视频导入您的库时，照片(Photos)应用程序非常有用，不仅可以从 Windows 10 PC 上的其他文件夹，还可以从其他设备，例如您的智能手机、相机等。无论(Regardless)您在哪个选项卡上，单击或点击(click or tap)“导入(Import)”按钮（在应用程序的右上角），然后选择是要从文件夹还是从设备导入图片。从文件夹导入图片的工作方式与上一节中说明的相同。要从设备导入图片，请选择“从 USB 设备”("From a USB device")。
然后，如果您已将USB 设备(USB device)（例如智能手机）插入 Windows 10 PC，“照片(Photos)”应用会向您显示它找到的所有图片和视频。选择要导入的内容后，单击或点击(click or tap)Import selected。
您选择导入的所有照片和视频都将复制到您的 Windows 10 PC 上的一个名为Year-Month的文件夹中，例如2019-10 ，该文件夹位于您用户的Pictures 文件夹(Pictures folder)中。
6.在照片中查找(Find)和标记人物
照片(Photos)应用程序包括一个人物标签功能，虽然默认情况下出于隐私考虑禁用该功能，但如果您想从中受益，可以手动启用该功能。在“照片”的“(Photos)人物(People)”选项卡中，您可以了解此功能提供的内容，如果您想使用它，可以单击或点击“接受”。(Accept)
人物(People)功能使用面部识别对收藏中人物的照片进行分组。它还可以让您标记其中的人以更好地组织他们，使您更容易找到您收藏中特定人的照片。启用此功能后，照片(Photos)需要一段时间才能识别人物的照片。然后，一旦完成，您应该会看到它们按相似的人分组，并且您可以开始标记(Start tagging)它们。
当您单击或点击开始标记(Start tagging)时，Windows 10 会询问您是否要让照片(Photos)访问您的联系人。如果您这样做，请选择是。然后，单击或点击(click or tap)要标记的一组照片，然后按添加名称(Add name)以标记其中的人。
然后，照片(Photos)与人物(People)应用程序一起使用，让您选择要标记的人。您可以从推荐的联系人中进行选择，浏览整个联系人列表(People)，或使用搜索来选择您要标记的联系人。
人物(People)标签功能很有用，但可能会引起一些隐私问题，所以照片(Photos)默认不启用它是一件好事，让您选择是否要使用它。
7. 打开照片并缩放(photo and zoom)、删除、旋转、裁剪或将其添加到您的收藏夹
照片(Photos)还有一个内置的图像编辑器(image editor)，它的一些工具可以直接在窗口顶部的图像视图界面上使用。(image view interface)查看图片时，您可以使用这些工具放大、删除、添加到收藏夹、顺时针旋转或裁剪。

9. 使用照片应用(Photos app)在您的照片上绘画
同样在“编辑和创建”("Edit & Create")菜单*，*您可以找到一个简单的选项Draw。如果您单击或点击它，照片(Photos)应用程序可让您使用一些基本的绘图工具，例如圆珠笔、铅笔(Ballpoint pen, Pencil)和书法笔(Calligraphy pen)，您可以使用它们在照片上绘图。
10. 为您的照片添加 3D 效果和动画文字
如果您愿意，您还可以从相同的“编辑和创建”("Edit & Create")菜单为您的照片添加 3D 效果和动画文本。单击(Click)或点击您想要的选项，然后照片(Photos)会加载所有可用的效果。但是，您应该知道某些效果是高级的，并且仅当您拥有Microsoft 订阅(Microsoft subscription)Office 365或类似产品时才可用。
11.使用Paint 3D应用程序编辑照片(Edit photos)
“编辑和创建”("Edit & Create")菜单中的最后一个选项是“使用 Paint 3D 编辑”("Edit with Paint 3D")。如果您单击或点击它，“照片(Photos)”会从Windows 10中打开“画图 3D(Paint 3D) ”应用程序并将您的照片加载到其中。然后，您可以绘制和添加 3D 形状、文本、效果并使用Paint 3D(Paint 3D)应用程序中可用的一切。有关其某些功能的更多信息，请阅读这篇文章：在Windows 10中使用(Windows 10)Paint 3D可以做的 6 件事。
12.使用您的照片和视频创建(Create)视频
照片(Photos)应用程序还充当Windows 10中视频编辑器(Video Editor)应用程序的入口点(entry point)。您可以从您的收藏(Collection)中选择照片或视频，然后使用窗口顶部的新视频(New video)按钮将它们添加到视频编辑器中加载的新视频(Video Editor)项目中，(video project)让视频编辑器(Video Editor)自动使用它们创建视频，或导入视频项目备份(video project backup)。如果您想了解有关如何使用视频编辑器(Video Editor)的更多信息，请阅读您可以在Windows 10中使用视频(Windows 10)编辑(Video Editor)器执行的 12 件事。

14 things you can do with the Photos app from Windows 10 -
Thе Photos app is a relatively new app because, although it was first introduced in Windows 8 to replace the old Windows Photo Viewer, it continually evolved with each new iteration of Windows 10. Nowadays, Photos is not just an ordinary picture viewer, but has become a complex app that offers a lot of editing and organizing tools for photographs and videos. Here are fourteen different things that you can do in Windows 10's Photos app, starting from browsing through you pictures to creating photo albums, adding 3D effects, creating videos, and so on:
NOTE: If you do not know how to open the Photos app in Windows 10, read: 9 ways to start the Photos app in Windows 10.
1. Browse through your photos collection
Once you open the Photos app, it immediately shows your photos, in a tab called Collection. All the photos you have are organized by date and split into months and days. Also, on the right side of the window, you can scroll down by years.
If you resize the Photos window and increase its size, it rearranges the photos in your collection to fit more in its window, and, at the top, it also shows some of your photo albums, video creations, or favorites photos, if there are any.
2. See, create and edit photo albums
In the Albums tab, the Photos app shows you all the photo albums that you created, as well as a series of photo albums that the app automatically created for you.
Photo albums are a great way of keeping track of your stories. For instance, you can create an album with all the photos you took on a trip to a special place, one that contains all the photos you took with your parents and relatives on Christmas, and so on. To create a photo album, on the Albums page, click or tap on New album.
Then, use the Photos app to browse through your collection and select the photos (and videos) that you want to add to the new album.
When you are done selecting the photos, click or tap Create on the top-right side of the Photos app.
Instantly, the Photos app creates your new album, loads its contents, and shows you a slideshow preview of it. However, it's called Album, so you might want to change its name to something more descriptive. To do that, click or tap on the small pen next to the name of the Album, then enter the new name and press Done.
Underneath the preview, there's also a Watch button: if you press it, the Photos app shows you a video of your album, that was automatically created by the app. If you like it, you can save it.
Furthermore, if you'd like to change some things about it, you can either choose to edit it using the Video Editor app or simply Remix it and let the app randomly generate changes.
If you like what the Photos app automatically created, you can Finish video and choose the video quality at which you want it encoded. If your hardware is capable, you can even choose to "Use hardware-accelerated encoding" which speeds up the encoding process.
Finally, you should also know that the Photos app can save your albums in OneDrive, allowing you to access them from all your cloud-connected devices. For that, all you have to do is open the album and click or tap on "Save in OneDrive" at the top of the window.
3. See your folders with pictures and add new folders to your Photos library
Another useful feature from the Photos app is its ability to show your pictures by folders. You can do that from the Folders tab.
Additionally, you can also use the same tab to add new folders to your Photos library, by clicking or tapping on the "Add a folder" tile, browsing through your Windows 10 PC, and selecting the folders you want to include in your library.
4. Import new files to the Photos app, from a folder or from a USB device (smartphone, camera, or others)
The Photos app is helpful when you want to import pictures and videos to your library, not only from other folders found on your Windows 10 PC, but also from other devices, such as your smartphone, camera and so on. Regardless of what tab you're on, click or tap on the Import button (on the top-right corner of the app) and choose whether you want to import pictures from a folder or from a device. Importing pictures from a folder works the same way as illustrated in the previous section. For importing pictures from a device, choose "From a USB device".
Then, if you have plugged in a USB device, such as a smartphone, into your Windows 10 PC, the Photos app shows you all the pictures and videos that it found. Once you select the ones you want to import, click or tap on Import selected.
All the photos and videos you chose to import are copied on your Windows 10 PC, in a folder named Year-Month, such as 2019-10 for example, found inside your user's Pictures folder.
6. Find and tag people in your photos
The Photos app includes a people-tagging feature which, although disabled by default for privacy, can be enabled manually if you want to benefit from it. In the People tab from Photos, you can read about what this feature offers, and you can click or tap on Accept if you wish to use it.
The People feature uses facial recognition to group the photos of people in your collection. It also lets you tag people in them to organize them better, making it easier for you to find photos of specific people in your collection. When you enable this feature, it takes a while for Photos to identify the photos of people. Then, once it does, you should see them grouped by similar people and you can Start tagging them.
When you click or tap on Start tagging, Windows 10 asks you whether you want to let Photos access your contacts. Choose yes if you do. Then, click or tap on a group of photos that you want to tag and press Add name to tag the person in them.
Photos then works together with the People app to let you choose the person you want to tag. You can choose from the recommended contacts, browse through your entire People list, or use the search to select the one you're tagging.
The People tagging feature is useful, but may raise some privacy concerns, so it's a good thing that Photos does not enable it by default, letting you choose instead whether you want to use it or not.
7. Open a photo and zoom, delete, rotate, crop, or add it to your favorites
Photos also has a built-in image editor and some of its tools are available right on the image view interface, at the top of the window. When looking at a picture, you can use these tools to zoom on that image, delete it, add it to your favorites, rotate it clockwise, or crop it.
8. Edit photos using tools such as crop, image filters, and effects
For all the other tools offered by Photos' built-in editor, click or tap on "Edit & Create" and then on Edit.
This loads the photo in the built-in editor and puts it in editing mode. The photo editor has all the tools that you need to make basic editing, including crop, rotate, various image filters, and light and color adjustments, as well as spot fixing and red eye correction.
9. Draw on your pictures with the Photos app
Also in the "Edit & Create" menu*,* you can find an option called simply Draw. If you click or tap on it, the Photos app lets you use a few basic drawing tools such as Ballpoint pen, Pencil and Calligraphy pen with which you can draw on your photo.
10. Add 3D effects and animated text to your photos
If you want, you can also add 3D effects and animated text to your photos, from the same "Edit & Create" menu. Click or tap on the option you want, and then Photos loads all the effects available. However, you should know that some of the effects are premium and are only available if you own a Microsoft subscription to Office 365 or similar.
11. Edit photos with the Paint 3D app
The final option available from the "Edit & Create" menu is "Edit with Paint 3D". If you click or tap on it, Photos opens the Paint 3D app from Windows 10 and loads your photo in it. Then, you can draw and add 3D shapes, text, effects and use everything that's available in the Paint 3D app. For more information about some of its features, read this article: 6 things you can do with Paint 3D in Windows 10.
12. Create videos using your photos and videos
The Photos app also acts as an entry point to the Video Editor app from Windows 10. You can select photos or videos from your Collection and use the New video button from the top of the window to add them to a new video project that's loaded in Video Editor, let Video Editor automatically create a video with them, or import a video project backup. If you want to learn more about how to use Video Editor, read 12 things you can do with the Video Editor from Windows 10.
13. Share your pictures with others
If you want to share photos or videos with other people, Photos has that covered too. Just open the photo or video that you want to share, or select multiple items (by clicking or tapping on their selection boxes), and then press the Share button.
Then, you get to see all the sharing options available in Windows 10, so you can choose the one you want.
14. Print pictures from the Photos app
Finally, one of the mandatory features of any photo app, including Photos, is the ability to print. In Photos, just press the Print button, which is found at the top-right corner of the window. Then, you get to see the default printing dialog from Windows 10. Select the printer that you want to use, change the settings according to what you prefer, and press Print.
