I have added the photos to the Pictures Library, all permissions have been set to Full Control and I am logged in as administrator.

Saying that, I have linked my Skydrive and the photos present in the Skydrive there can be seen in the photo app but the photos present in the Picture Library cannot be seen. The message I get is as follows

"We couldn't find any photos in here

To get started......"

Basically saying that I need to add the photos to the Picture Library

What can be done?

Here is what I have done till now,

  1. Uninstalled the app, restarted the system, reinstalled the app, still nothing
  2. Changed the location of the Picture Library, nothing

Help will be appreciated

Hey buddy,

I had this problem too today, and found this fourum, didnt find a solution anywhere but try this one as it seemed to work for me

open then close photos

Move all your picture files elsewhere

open then close photos

click under library tools manage, then manage library and change the directory to where you moved your pictures file

Open then click where your pictures are and they should start to appear

Didn't work, maybe I will wait till the weekend otherwise I will use the backup to reinstall everything. This is really annoying me

The Photos app settings are stored in the following location:

%localappdata%\Packages\microsoft.windowsphotos_8wekyb3d8bbwe

You can jump right to this location by entering that line in the Start Screen's search box or any folder's address bar.

Try deleting its contents to see if this fixes your problem.

Didn't work.

I am starting to suspect that this have something to do with the Library itself and nothing else as I also installed another app called PhotoMonkey which links to the Picture Library and it is also having the same issue i.e. no photograph from my library can be seen

Any help will be appreciated

jpg mostly some are in raw format

Im not sure why the jpgs are not working but I downloaded four raw format files from http://www.rawsamples.ch/ to test on my PC and Conon (.cr2), Fuji (.raf), Sony (.arw) worked but Nikon (.nef) and Olympus (.orf) did not work. I looked around and found this http://support.micro....com/kb/2712101 that talks about an update to Win 8 that adds the "Microsoft Camera Codec Pack" to windows 8 but I can get it to work and I don't know if the update is already on my system. I'm not that knowledgeable about all the raw format types per camera maker.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.

      I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.

      I'm not sure how old the school is, but they've been doing this since GTA 3. Back in those days we'd be lucky for game companies to release on the PC at all. And with the current state of Sony (or Microsoft) their gaming wing won't be getting a penny from me.
