Nicely simple photo organization
Windows Live Photo Gallery 2012 is a very simple application that lets you view your photos and perform basic editing tasks.
The Windows Live Photo Gallery interface itself is clean, clear and easy to use. It provides a great platform for your images and the picture quality in the slideshow function is excellent. Windows Live Photo Gallery also features great tagging and sorting functions and a few nice extras, such as the ability to order prints directly from online retailers, burn to CD and publish to a group.
Unfortunately, many of these extras require you to install a supplementary program or sign up for a Windows Live account. Add that to Windows Live Photo Gallery's simplistic editing tools, and suddenly the program isn't looking so rosy.
In fact, Windows Live Photo Gallery even appears to have lost a few features since the last version, as there is no sign of the screensaver function of the beta version and you can only make thumbnails that measure 100 x 75 - not exactly what I'd call progress, Windows!
Windows Live Photo Gallery 2012 is a good program for heavy Windows Live users who don't need much editing power.

Not great.
I don't understand why they give good reviews to this Windows Photo Gallery when it can't even do the basic of the basics, ie: flip a photo!! So many useful features which they were in Picture Manager have disappeared here, apart from some basic filters, the other features are pretty useless - Facebook, YouTube, tags etc....How come Windows Word have more Picture editing options than Photo Gallery!!! Please Microsoft sort it out!
Pros:
Basic filters
Cons:
Can't flip photos
Can't SAVE AS, need to Make a Copy and then click several times to Revert to Original
Microsoft Word has more pictures tools, these should transferred to PhotoGallery
Can't see all the pictures in thumbnails, as used to see in Picture Manager More
