As many of you already know, something that you have been able to verify first-hand, there are several UWP applications that are integrated together with the Windows 10 operating system. These are found after doing a clean installation of the operating system, or after installing an important update of characteristics. Among these we find the Calendar, Calculator, Weather, Photos, etc. apps.
Many users are totally against this type of practice by those in Redmond . The main reason for this is that, from their point of view, they take up unnecessary space on the computer, since they will never use them. But at the same time, these built-in UWPs are of great help to many others.
The reason for all this is obvious, and it is that we are free and fully functional programs that they already find when starting with Windows 10 from the beginning. This saves them from having to resort to other third-party alternatives, generally Win32 , which saves them time and effort. One of the most popular applications of this type is called Photos which, as its name suggests, helps us to view the images with which we work in Windows.
But despite all that we tell you, a good part of the users end up opting for other similar proposals. Well, we are going to show you some functions that may make you change your mind.
The management of libraries or personal collections
The program, once we start it, starts up to locate the image files that we have on the computer . This creates a series of photo libraries or collections that of course we can change, delete, customize or add new ones. This will allow us to manage all our content of this type in a very effective way and without installing anything additional.
People Finder in Photos
In addition to this we must add the fact that the UWP application has an integrated function that uses a facial recognition system. This will help us so that Photos looks for people that we have distributed among all scanned images and added to the libraries, to group them. Say that this is something that is disabled by default but that we can activate at any time from right here.
Additional functions to display
As we told you before, this is a program that focuses on displaying the photos that we upload. But additionally, just by clicking on any of them with the right mouse button, we find interesting functions that will help us. For example, we can set that image directly as Windows desktop background, or for the lock screen . At the same time we can edit it with Paint 3D, create a multimedia presentation, add three-dimensional texts, etc.
Photos has a video editor
And to finish we will tell you that this is an application that also has a powerful integrated video editor. This will actually allow us to make our own personal compositions of this type, from the images we select. Of course we find here common elements in these tasks such as a timeline, transitions, texts, soundtrack, etc.
