Īlthough Windows Photo Gallery is not included in Windows 7, it did affect Windows Photo Viewer: Whereas Windows Picture and Fax Viewer used GDI+, Windows Photo Viewer and Windows Photo Gallery both use Windows Imaging Component (WIC) and both take advantage of Windows Display Driver Model. Windows Photo Viewer, on the other hand, has added support for JPEG XR file format and ICC profiles. Windows Picture and Fax Viewer was also capable of viewing multi-page TIFF files, (except those that employed JPEG compression) as well as annotating the TIFF files. Starting with Windows Vista, Microsoft withdrew the support for this format from this application and left the job of displaying them to Internet Explorer. The second change is their file format support: Although Animated GIF files were supported in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, they are no longer supported in Windows Photo Viewer. The first and most noticeable change is seen in their user graphical user interfaces.
When compared to its previous version (Windows Fax and Picture Viewer), there have been several changes. Windows Photo Viewer supports images in BMP, JPEG, JPEG XR (formerly HD Photo), PNG, ICO and TIFF file formats. Windows Photo Viewer can show pictures, display all pictures in a folder as a slide show, reorient them in in 90° increments, print them either directly or via an online print service, send them in e-mail or burn them to a disc.
