Page 571 - Windows 10 May 2019 Update The Missing Manual: The Book That Should Have Been in the Box

The new, improved Photos can overlay fancy titles onto a photo or video

clip—perfect for opening credits for your low-budget video operation.

Type the text into the box at top, choose one of the font styles, choose
where to put it (using the Layout section), specify how much time the text
should appear during the video playback (using the handles on the scroll

bar), and then hit the Play triangle to check it out.

Slapping a Photo onto the Lock Screen or Desktop

When you’re looking at a single photo (and not editing it), the button at

top right offers a secret shortcut menu. Its “Set as” command slaps the
current photo onto any of these billboards: the Lock screen (“The Lock
Screen”), the desktop background wallpaper (Figure 4-1), or the tile for the

Photos app on the Start menu’s right section (see the box below).

Tip
Also in the menu: “File info.” Choosing this option—or pressing Alt+Enter at any time—
opens a left-side panel that tells you everything about the current photo: size, date, name, camera
model, manual settings, ISO, and so on.

Selecting Photos (to Share or Delete)

Photos wouldn’t be much fun if your screen were the only place you could
see them. Fortunately, the Photos app is happy to zap them away to your

adoring fans electronically. Or, if they’re terrible shots, you can just zap
them away.

Selecting photos

The first step is telling Photos which pictures you want to send. To do that,

on the Collection screen or an Album screen, hit the icon to make their
checkboxes appear. Just click or tap each photo you want to include.
