Photo Fuse: Photos with nondescript backgrounds might not align well
· The technology that Photo Gallery uses to create a Photo Fuse aligns the background information in the base photo with the section being replaced. Photos that don’t have well-defined backgrounds might not align well when creating a Photo Fuse.
·
Photo Fuse: Photos taken at different zooms might not align
· For Photo Fuse to align and work best, the photos should be taken at similar zoom levels and from similar vantage points. Large movements in the photo or changes in zoom level might prevent alignment from taking place, or create suboptimal composites.
·
Photo Fuse: You may see distinct seams when you create a Photo Fuse
· Movement in the photos used to create a Photo Fuse might cause distinct seams between the sections of the finished composite. To create a smoother composite, select a region around the subject that captures most of the movement.
·
Photo Fuse: No more than 10 photos can be used
· To ensure good performance of Photo Fuse, there's a limit of 10 photos you can use to create a composite.

Dynamic ribbon galleries are limited to 1,000 items
· Ribbon galleries can't contain more than 1,000 items. This limit most likely impacts the Dates filter gallery on the Find tab. When the limit is reached, only the 1,000 newest (most recent) dates are displayed. However, no data is lost—all photos still exist, they just don't appear in the ribbon gallery—and the other date-related Find galleries (Months and Years) continue to work.

Tags: Global suggestion tags in photos and videos appear different in Batch people tagging mode
· When a global People tag suggestion for a photo or video comes from Windows Live SkyDrive or Facebook, and is presented in Batch people tagging mode as a suggestion for a person, the thumbnail shown doesn't appear as expected. For photos, the thumbnail is not square (it has the same aspect ratio as the original image), and for videos, gray thumbnails appear.
· Also, if there's more than one face in the photo, there might be confusion about who in the photo is being tagged.
