It happens quite quickly so I didn’t notice it at first, but I can repeat this. Then it softens or blurs into the worse quality version. On some occasions, when first opening an image, I’ve seen the Photos app display a better quality version for a split second. That occurs when the Photos app is using your entire screen or not, or if you used the full-screen button. The displayed image after zooming in and back out is sharper/clearer than the one originally displayed. But also, the app actually does render a better quality image it just doesn’t show that version when you first open an image. Yes, I learned it’s blurry enough to affect print decisions and give a poorer viewing experience. It’s lower quality, so what? Maybe it’s faster that way. Someone might say that’s just how the Photos App chooses to render and display resized/zoomed-out versions of images. At that point I actually opened the photo in a web browser to compare, and that’s when I noticed it did indeed appear much more blurry in the Photos app. I looked at one that I remembered as being pretty good, but when I looked with a careful eye, it turned out to be kind of blurry. Well, recently I finally had it hit me. I was looking at photos of a past hiking trip to pick one for printing as an 8×10. To get to the point finally – I didn’t notice it at first, but I think I had an inkling in the back of my mind that something wasn’t right viewing my photos. Discussion of some Photos App issues are here on Reddit. Lots of people still prefer the older program. From what I’ve read, many issues have been fixed, but a several nagging ones are still around. That was despite a few minor problems and inconveniences I found. But I figured I’d stick with the new one. Back when I updated to Windows 10, I read that people were able to go back to using the older Windows Photo Viewer with a registry change. Thankfully, the replacement Photos app allows you to do most of the same things. In my experience, it beats the way things work on Mac as well. It’s really a great way to look at your pictures and you don’t have to bother with any photo management software.
Basic functions allowed you to page forward and back through all the photos in a folder, start a slideshow, zoom in and out, and rotate. The image displayed fit to the window for best viewing. Like the older Photo Viewer, people have used these photo viewers to open up their photos (or any other images) with a simple double-click. Actually the Photos app was introduced with Windows 8 and fit right in with its heavy emphasis on touch-friendly interface.
The Windows Photo Viewer was switched out in favor of the Photos app. The upgrade to Windows 10 brought with it a big change to a seemingly small and basic app.
