Microsoft tries to improve Vista photo features | |

Microsoft developed Windows Vista in part to make it easier for people to manage their digital photos. Now it has released beta software that's trying to refine that experience further.
Windows XP leaves much to be desired with photo management, Mike Nash, Microsoft's corporate vice president of Windows Product Management, said Wednesday in a talk here at the InfoTrends Digital Imaging conference. On the list of gripes: XP lacks abilities to edit, archive, search, tag and edit images; it can't support the higher-end but unprocessed "raw" photos; transferring images to PCs is "slow and cumbersome"; and "color management was sketchy at best."
Windows Vista is designed to fix these shortcomings, Nash said. But newer software called Windows Live, in public beta testing since earlier this month, is geared to expand photo abilities even more--in part through improving what the PC can do on its own and in part what it can do with the Internet. | ||

| Horrible...this thing installs Windows Desktop Search WITHOUT giving the option of not installing it. It is apparently a necessary part of this new Live Photo and some other stuff. WDS slowed my system to a crawl, even after indexing was done. AND after installing, there is NO uninstaller option for WDS in the add/remove programs list. Even after uninstalling all the Live stuff installed with the Live Poto, WDS is still there. GRRRRRRRRRRRR. |

It makes sense that WDS is required for Photo Gallery -- remember that Live Photo Gallery is a modified version of Vista's Photo Gallery, and on Vista WDS is always available. WDS is in charge of providing metadata for files, so it makes sense that LPG uses this in order to get the metadata.
What's not proper, however, is that Microsoft doesn't tell you that WDS is required, and then give you a chance to cancel LPG installation. |
