Thanks to the network delivery of LeifengMicrosoft and Apple's user experience, has anyone's opinion. However, I prefer to use only one of two user interface experience for most people, will inevitably be biased. The majority of users, Microsoft did not experience the Mac interface, millions of Mac users and Microsoft's knowledge, was simply to stay on the switch to Apple prior to that time - Windows XP and Office 2003 times .
These differences, Windows Microsoft continuously, making the experience of the important people of the interface 8. Microsoft to Mac users win eight ribbons (带状 functional areas) are starting to laugh at the use of the decision. They are apples "simple and elegant," claims like user interface design. It is really the case?
Microsoft and Apple's recent editing program / flagship photo management made a major update to its digital. The two companies have put a lot of human and financial resources, have the software for the photo. Here, you see the difference between the two user interfaces, which compares the operation of the years '11 and iPhoto Windows Live Photo Gallery 2011.
The main interface
The main interface of both programs, there are many similarities, there are significant differences.
This is just to use Windows Live Photo Gallery to view digital photos on a computer screen display.
This is a window of the main iPhoto.
Obviously, since the two software are very similar. To appear in the left navigation on the right shows a photo album where / you choose.
Reduce the default font for Microsoft, and some of the more detailed navigation between the Apple, please use a large bold font. These are fundamentally different aesthetic, while performing the other functions of the different points: A view of Microsoft is used to start navigating the tree control, iPhoto has a menu of standard OS X application You are using the bar. It is always so on top of the window displays, large screen at the top of the screen is not in the iPhoto window, then it is some inconvenience.
You have pictures shown above may not see the ribbon. So I am from that custom - This feature, like the ribbon has been developed for users who do not. See something goes wrong, the appearance and interface of a conventional double-click the menu bar will not be able to make a difference.
Click to select from any item in question will be displayed under the corresponding content. From this viewpoint, the title bar and menu bar are very similar to the highest level of choice. The title is always displayed by double-clicking a heading to the bottom of the strip. Shows a home on the ribbon, contains buttons for most commonly used commands.
In addition, the drop-down menu items may have in each problem area.
Both programs are always visible toolbar is provided at the bottom of the window.Windows Live Photo Gallery, two rotating toolbar commands (counterclockwise and clockwise) includes a zoom slider. The search command in the iPhoto toolbar (to get a search box and click the magnifying glass) to provide slide (not shown) in the middle of the zoom slider to the left of the button in iPhoto 5 and right showdifferent parts of the interface.
A second menu bar contains five command buttons in the lower right corner of the iPhoto window, you. The main menu contains an option, including, in other words, when you click the iPhoto points total 14, Windows Live Photo Gallery is 5
To change the view
Compare the right side of the ribbon of the traditional drop-down menu of Microsoft and Apple.
In both programs, you will be able to be classified from the right pane, sort and photos. It also displays the scores and details such as titles such as changing the order of categories, it is possible to mark a photo as tag / or keyword. What we do is how it works, let's look at two different user interfaces.
Windows Live Photo Gallery in the ribbon, the item in question (view) have a view on. The menu bar, click View and sort options in iPhoto cascading menu.
Order by title 20, in a show of view, the width of the FIG, and Windows Live Photo Gallery, 21 (for a total of one third of the View menu option under the Sort menu in iPhoto Gray may include a picture of the sub-menu of the sort.)
When subtracting the minimum width of 1200 pixels, as Windows Live Photo Gallery, you can see the interface Click the View tab.
As arranged, these commands at the bottom of each category, custom category names that are classified, the category has been separated between the gray dividing line. The most commonly used commands to a larger icon. The figure is placed a list of groups.
Photos of the current date as the standard sort is highlighted orange. Categories on the right, to allow viewing recent photos first sort reverse (reverse) buttons. As long as it is displayed the title of view, it is possible to adjust the picture button in the sorting and grouping by you - such an assessment (point) to select the reverse, press photos descending score will be placed.
In iPhoto, you can drop down menu to accomplish the same task.
The difference is that in iPhoto, to perform these operations only [view] is to click the button. Windows Live Photo Gallery, all options are placed in the view of the item under question.
Windows Live Photo Gallery will be able to click the two pictures on the label in the reverse order that you simply. In iPhoto, you may need to click on six under - (3 clicks) The arrangement of words later, the menu should be an open view point again, in order to organize your photos, then click again (decrease) in descending order and click. In comparison, most of the options on the Ribbon, which requires just 1-2 hits, the drop-down menu in iPhoto, in many cases, you must click at least twice.
However, iPhoto's lower right corner, there is an edit button to complete some operations are not limited to the options in the drop-down menu.
[Edit] Photos
Microsoft has all the tools on the Ribbon and, apple, put the number of commands that are commonly used in sophisticated
People often shared upload and make some changes from digital photos. Both programs can be edited by double-clicking a photo full screen view.
One of the items in questions 3-5 Ribbon - At this point, the user interface of Windows Live Photo Gallery will be some changes. Figure photos, view and edit the default command key questions.
In iPhoto, you do not change the interface displays a single image. From the top of the cascading drop-down menu, or bottom (below), click the Edit button, you can edit the photos in two ways.
At the bottom of the edit button several options of which have additional features, to open at least 31: The quick fixes, including six under the command (quick fix), effect (effect), 15 buttons provided ( applications such as visual effects and cutting / dark highlight), adjustment (adjustment), the next slide, 10 (contrast, hue, etc.) are included, and other settings.
Open individual photos will be displayed in the navigation pane of the two programs, with photos of previous / next, to see the album or folder you choose, you can use it. Windows Live Photo Gallery, left and right arrows at the bottom of the item in question left to edit. In iPhoto, select another photo, you can preview box below the thumbnail.
Rotation
Windows Live Photo Gallery button in the view of all displays, rotating around the bottom of the window, edit the item in question in the title of the page to find the option in the rotation.
In iPhoto, find the same key is not so easy. Edit button in the quick fix you when you click, you can be found under the title of the spin button. However, the picture in order to rotate counter-clockwise through the key (single or multiple) can only choose. And you photo clockwise option (pictured) to open the menu rotation Edit menu options, can be found below.
Windows Live Photo Gallery can not find the ribbon from all tasks and commands.Its design is to browse all under one title, you can choose the features you need. In iPhoto, you must learn to remember the location of all of these commands.
For example, as a background for your desktop you want to use the current photo.Windows Live Photo Gallery is on the left to find the problem "new" item, the button "Set Desktop" can be. Or, right-click the photo to select "Set as desktop background." In iPhoto, right-click menu, this feature is not included. To set the desktop background, the share from the drop-down menu, surprisingly, the bottom of the sharing button, this feature can be.
Simple or complex?
Microsoft and Apple is one of the biggest publishers of mass communication differences. In the past five years, creating a process equivalent to several books and written articles in the Microsoft engineers and managers in the design of the user interface of Office and Windows.
Steven Sinofsky, Windows will, is the latest in a long-winded blog of eight teams.Jensen Harris also said, "Why use such a UI?", The earliest promoters that are written to the Office 2007 ribbon-part 8
I am their rival Apple's designers are confident that there is a need to pay a lot of effort, they are not trumpeting their job. Instead, they are often printed page and "easier than ever," and like "incredibly easy" to promote the use of such words.
I must say that, these adjectives are not the entire activities of a particular product or is that the intended user interface. At least $ 29.99 each - Apple's iPhone '11 revenue, cards, calendars and books to make, great efforts are made.
While these costs at this point, Microsoft will not have competitive products, the product is very easy to use.
And their services for free, Apple and Microsoft are essentially tied. Tatoeba, creating an item from the Windows Live Photo Gallery, to share photos on Facebook with One Click to experience and enter into the following dialog.
If you use iPhoto, this process is much easier - because once again I was a little late, perhaps too simple, and my local 200 photos are uploaded to the error in the album on Facebook .
I do not agree with those who say that clutter the user interface of Windows Live Photo Gallery. In fact, the number of commands to be integrated without problems such as crowded under the ribbon that was designed in mind - we have it "full" and I think we can call.
In the next two thumbnails, you can see the whole process more intuitive interface.
Overall, I have two programs for non-technical users, I think is very good photo management and editing. They not only have their own characteristics, giving the user something different.
When you see the 2008 version of Windows 7 prior to the release of Windows Live Photo Gallery you can find it in the user interface you have a very big change.You are using an old-style menus and toolbars that mixed version. Release version of Windows Live is a 2009, Windows 7 looks so good and still very compact for.
I also blog on building eight ribbons Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows 2011 and compared the ribbon screenshot of Windows Explorer. The two designs are nearly identical. Windows is the direction of development should be able to see from here.
