Be empowered to do more with your photos and videos. Easily view, edit, compare, create albums, and make movies of your special memories.<\/p>\n<p>The filmstrip shows all the items from that location and lets you jump to other photos while staying immersed in the experience. You can also compare photos and videos in the same app window using the multi-view mode. This is activated by selecting multiple items from the filmstrip interface.<\/p>\n<p>In the toolbar, you\u2019ll get to work with editing, mark-up, favoriting, metadata, and have quick access to third-party photo editors. Enjoy your photos edge-to-edge and distraction-free by easily hiding the toolbars.
