Picture Gallery isn’t included in Windows 7, but can I download it?
I don’t want to use LIVE Picture Gallery. I’m comfortable with and know how to use Picture Gallery that came with Vista.
Is there somewhere I can safely download it without viruses, spyware, malware and such? If not I’ll have to download some other editing program like Picasa, Irfanview, gimp or something else. I’ve got some good answers in my previous question about this.
Google Picasa is 100 times better than Windows Photo Gallery or Windows Live Photo Gallery. To be honest, I can’t see your problem, the "live" version does exactly the same stuff as the older Photo Gallery.
GIMP is nothing like Picasa or Windows Photo Gallery or Windows Live Photo Gallery. GIMP is a fully fledged image editor more akin to Photoshop. It’s not much use as an image viewer or to index your photos, it’s not designed for that purpose at all.
My advice to you is to get Picasa to organise your pics and make simple edits, and get GIMP for more complex editing. Both are free, so what do you have to lose.
You might also like Photoscape which is free too. The benefit of using free software, is you can install as many as you want – it’s all free!!!!!!
