>>>step-by-step: Setting Photo Options
After you select a photo in the Windows 8
Photo app, photo options become available that will enable you to work
with the photo in various ways. You can set the photo as the Photo app
tile so that it appears in the tile on your Windows 8 Start screen, you
can choose to use the photo as your Windows 8 lock screen, you can view
the image in its online app, delete the photo, you can offer feedback
about the photo (thumbs up or thumbs down) or you can display the photo
as part of a slide show.

Fickle App Images
If you’re like me, you
have a new photo favorite every 15 minutes. You can change your app tile
as often as you like—daily, hourly, or even more often, if you’re so
inclined. Just display your favorite photo in full-screen view and then
swipe up from the bottom of the screen (or double-click) and tap or
click Set As App Tile.
>>>step-by-step: Offering Feedback on Photos
We’ve become a culture of photo
connoisseurs—or, at least, critics. Often when we click Like on
someone’s photo on our favorite social media sites, we could be agreeing
with what we see or encouraging their artistry.
1. When a
photo you like is displayed on your screen, swipe up from the bottom of
the screen or right-click to display the options bar.
2. Tap or click Feedback.
3. Type your comment in the Tell Us What You Think box.
4. Tap or click Like or Dislike if you choose.
5. Tap or click Submit. The feedback is added to the photo in the photo-sharing site.
>>>step-by-step: Displaying a Slideshow
You can display a slide show of all images in the current album while you’re viewing your photos in the Photos app.
1. Display the album that you’d like to view in a slide show.
2. Swipe up from the bottom or right-click to display the photo options.
3. Tap or
click Slide Show. The first photo in the album appears full-screen and
after a few seconds, the next photo appears, and then the next. You can
stop the slide show by pressing Esc or by redisplaying the photo options
bar.
