Hi
I am a long time WPG Windows Photo Gallery user in local on my PC, now on Windows 8.1
I was very happy with WPG, and still am, but now I see that, when my photos are imported from my Lumia Windows phone or from my camera, Windows proposes 'Photos'.
On my OneDrive cloud, my Lumia photos are automatically saved, and when I double click one of them, they are handled by an app which seems to be 'Photos' as well.
Apparently, all metadata (tags, captions, location...) seem to be handled by all three apps equaly: namely WPG, 'Photos' local and 'Photos (?)' on OneDrive.
You can pass a photo from one app to the other, from the cloud to local and back without loosing metadata.
The difference then: From what I see, WPG as better editing facilities than 'Photos', filters, cropping, ... but I might have underestimated 'Photos'
My questions are:
- what is exactly the policy of MS? Will they progressively abandon WPG and keep developing 'Photos'.
- Does MS advises us to keep our photos on the cloud and to work them out there. With which app?
- I might be wrong, but WPG does not seem to work on the cloud. Does MS advise us to download photos on our PC and to edit them there?
I am curious to learn about the views of Microsoft concerning the evolution of editing and keeping photos and creating albums.
Best
