  Change the brightness, contrast, and color in the photo viewer in win 7?

  How to change the brightness, contrast and color in the windows photo viewer 7 (I used the fix option in xp and vista)
  Thanks for any help.

  Hi epse30,

  In Windows Vista Windows Picture and Fax Viewer has been replaced by the Windows Photo Gallery and there was an option to set the brightness, contrast, etc by using the Fix as you said.

  Unfortunately, this option is not available with the Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 7.

  However, Windows Live Photo Gallery has a number of easy to use tools for things like red eye fixing or clearing exposure and low light situations. Windows Live Photo Gallery gives you more creative control over your photos. You can download Windows Live Photo Gallery for free from the link below;

  Access the link below for more information about editing photos with Windows Live Photo Gallery

  The above article is for Windows Vista, but it remains valid for Windows 7 as well.
