horizontal scroll bar, pressing Ctrl and the + or - keys, or turning

slideshow of all photos in this batch. (This command appears only
when you’ve opened a photo.) Or press F5. Click or tap to end the
show.
To send an open photo to somebody by email, or to send it into

A Very Smart Search Box
Photos uses artificial intelligence to figure out what’s in your pictures—you
know, like “cat” or “pond” or “pizza.” You can then use the search box to
find them by name.
When you click the search box, a menu offers quick-click buttons for
People (faces that Photos has identified, as described already); Places
(based on the locations where you snapped the shots—usually available
only on phone photos); or Things (subjects the software has found). Of
course, you can also type whatever noun you want into the box.
Note
It takes Windows a long time to analyze your photos before this search thing is ready. A tiny
progress bar inches along the bottom of the actual search box to show you its progress.
Windows isn’t as good at this as, say, Google Photos. But it’s getting better
all the time.
