Cons
1. Limited editing features: Microsoft Photos lacks advanced editing tools, making it unsuitable for professional photo editing tasks requiring precise adjustments, such as complex retouching, advanced color grading, or detailed photo enhancements.
2. Limited file format compatibility: The software supports a limited range of file formats, limiting users' ability to work with various image formats commonly used by photographers, such as RAW files. This can lead to inconvenience and the need for additional software for format conversion.
3. Slow performance with large files: When working with high-resolution or large-sized images, Microsoft Photos can become slow and unresponsive, impacting productivity. This can be frustrating when handling large batches of photos or editing high-quality images, causing delays in workflow and potentially affecting the user experience.
