What’s new in the updated Photos app for Windows 11
The short video shared by Panay highlights several new features and changes in the existing version of the Photos app. The first and most noticeable feature was the new carousel that appears when you expand a photo from a folder and move the mouse cursor down. The carousel allows users to click on another photo to open or select multiple photos at once and they will all open on the same screen.
Another noticeable change is the slightly modified top menu control. It feels like a floating window and offers handy features like quick photo info, editing tools, and more. The File Info window has been moved to the right side of the screen and now also has a dedicated icon for each information along with a mini map that shows the geotagged position.
However, the home screen layout appears to be identical to the current version, divided into five sections – Collections, Albums, People, Folders, and Video Editor. Plus, the editing tools are the same as in the current version.
So, these were some of the changes that Panay’s video revealed about the redesigned Photos app. The video doesn’t mention anything about the performance and stability improvements of the Photos app as the current one is a bit moody and works a bit at times. Hopefully, the update will resolve all those issues.
In the meantime, Microsoft Windows 11 will debut on October 5th and we have everything you need to know about the operating system. Here.
