Photos

You can use the Photos app to browse and search photos in your Pictures library. You can also add your account

info for your favorite sites to the Photos app—like Facebook, Flickr, and SkyDrive—so those photos show up, too.

It’s one place to browse and see all of your

photos.

To see your photos, go to the Start screen and

open the Photos app.

 To see photos and videos taken with your

Surface, tap or click Pictures library, and

then tap or click Camera Roll.

 Photos that are in your Pictures library

appear in the Photos app. To learn more

about libraries, see Library basics on Windows.com.

Tips

 To see app commands like Slide show and Select all, swipe down from the top edge of the screen or

right-click.

 To see which file formats are supported by the Photos app, see Which file types are supported? on

Surface.com.
