Windows 10: Help with Organizing Photos via the Photos App

Hey there. Whenever I import photos from my camera to my laptop it automatically is imported into my photos app which is fine...except that it is then extremely painstaking to then open up individual photos in my editing software. I organize all my photos within the app into different albums but then those albums which I've made don't appear in file explorer...So how do I get photo albums, or even just photos I have favorited, from the Microsoft App to appear in the file explorer? Thanks

Problems organizing photos.

Hi, if you can use a PC at 84, you're doing well!

If you know where your various photos are, you can find them and move them to appropriately named folders in Pictures.

Here I have my source folder on the left, Pictures open on the right.




I've right clicked a photo, held the button down, and dragged to folder Uplay on the right. I can now let go of the button and click 'copy' or 'move'.

If I want, I could select multiple files in the left window and do the same.
(left click empty space and drag to select multiple files, or left click, say, the top file in a list, scroll down and SHIFT + left click to select a range).

That's one way. Another is to copy and paste them (CTRL C, CTRL V, or CTRL X, CTRL V to move them).

If you want to easily find, for example, all jpg files on your PC to find any left over photos, a free tool like Everything by void tools or Locate32 helps- scans all your files once, then type jpg and all will be listed:

 

Simple software to organize photos

i guess if just for organizing you could use windows or these freewares

 

Photos are opening with Paint instead of Photos app

Hello,

It's likely that your default application for opening photos is Paint. To change your default program in Windows 10 from
Paint to the Photo app, we suggest that you perform the following steps:

• On the Start menu, select Settings.
  
• Go to System, then go to Default apps.
  
• Select Photos or any app that you like to be the default under
  Photo viewer.

Update us if the steps above helped you in resolving your concern.
