Let the Win 8 system photo app display images in the computer

        Some friends who are just starting to use Win8 may wonder why some photo cards on Win8 devices will scroll to display different photos, while others do not display them; obviously there are a lot of photos in the computer, click on the tile to enter the Win8 photo app. The picture can't be seen... What is going on? Don't worry, let's take a closer look.

We click on the "Photos" application tile in the Win8 start screen. Below the Win8 photo application interface, there will be multiple image categories, such as common image libraries, Skydrive, devices, etc. Will show Facabook and Flick. If our Win8 image library does not contain images and does not log in with a Microsoft account, then all the image categories are not displayed (see the image on the left). Click on the category to see the image. Users who have already done the image library and logged in to Skydrive can see the scrolling image in the category (see the image to the right below).

In fact, these three image categories correspond to the image library of Win8 device, Skydrive and external devices (such as mobile hard disk, USB flash drive and camera memory card, etc.).

Photo Gallery: To display and view photos in the photo gallery of Win8's photo app, we need to include the images and folders you want to view in the "Pictures" category of the Win8 "Library". "Library" is a feature that Microsoft has added since the Win7 system. The default includes four categories: video, image, document, and music.

Press "Win+D" to enter the Win8 traditional desktop and open the Explorer. Click "Library-Picture" on the left. If there is no file in the current library, you will see the message "The picture is empty", click " Select a folder, and specify the location of the folder where the image is located in the pop-up window.

We can also right-click on the specified folder in the Explorer and select "Include to Library - Picture" from the right-click menu. The specified folder can also be included in the image library.

After the setting is completed, wait a moment and enter the Win8 photo application again. You can see the picture in the "Photo Gallery" category just scrolling through the folders (as shown below).

Right click on the Win8 image application interface and you will see the "Import" button in the lower right corner. If our Win8 device is connected to an external storage device such as a USB flash drive, mobile hard drive or digital Cameras, memory cards, etc., click on the "Import" button to see "Select devices from which to export photos."

After selecting the specified device, we can see all the pictures in the mobile storage device. By default, all pictures are selected. The system gives the default folder named by date. Here we can Check the desired image and specify a new folder name. Once set, click on the "Import" button to import the selected image into the image library of your Win8 device.

Now we can see the created folder and the image just imported from the "Library - Picture" of Win8 Explorer.

SkyDrive: SkyDrive is a cloud storage service provided by Microsoft. If we log in with Microsoft account in Win8 and save the picture in SkyDrive, the Skydrive category in the first interface of Win8 photo application will be Scroll through the images in it. Click to enter, you can see the picture SkyDri in SkyDrive.

Device: The "Devices" category in the Win8 Photo app can display images from other devices, but you need to install Skydriver on the accessed device and log in with your Microsoft account, and make sure to select "Get from any location." Your file is set.
