Microsoft is giving photographers a few more reasons to store their images on SkyDrive, with a heaping helping of new options for viewing and managing photos on the Web.
The meatiest improvements on SkyDrive.com are related to sharing photos and files. Previously, you could only share an entire folder or individual files. Now, SkyDrive.com lets you share multiple files at a time from anywhere in your cloud storage. You can share an entire day's worth of photos just by clicking on the date heading. The recipient will see the photos you've shared as a single album.

That should make it a lot easier to figure out what you've shared in the past and control who has access to your files.

Animated GIF files will actually animate now when viewed through SkyDrive.com, and you can now rotate photos directly through the Website, which should help with camera photos that don't come out facing the right way. Also, the “All photos” view in SkyDrive has been expanded, so you can seek out photos in individual folders, not just the entire drive. For computers with ultra-high resolutions, such as the MacBook Pro with Retina Display and its new wave of Windows rivals (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2042676/battle-of-the-ultra-high-res-laptops-samsung-ativ-book-9-specs-vs-the-world.html), SkyDrive.com will show higher-resolution images to match.
