Windows itself has some useful controls you might use. There's a good article here about the file and folder pickers: http://lunarfrog.com/blog/2011/10/07/winrt-file-and-folder-pickers/ Please note that the images supported in the picker itself are limited to the native Windows formats like JPEG and PNG. If your application needs additional formats like JPEG2000 you might have to use a professional imaging library with WinRT support like LeadTools.
