Microsoft Office Picture Manager (formerly Microsoft Picture Library[4]) is a raster graphics editor introduced in Microsoft Office 2003 and included up to Office 2010.[5] It is the replacement to Microsoft Photo Editor introduced in Office 97 and included up to Office XP.[6]

Basic image editing features include

PowerPoint, and Word
.

Microsoft terminated support for Picture Manager with the release of

Photos and Word as replacements because of their digital imaging capabilities.[8]

History

Picture Manager (known at the time as Picture Library) was first released in 2002 alongside

Office 2003 (then known as Office 11) Beta 1 and included crop, red-eye removal, resize, and rotate features.[4] In Office 2003 Beta 2, released in March 2003, it retained its preliminary Picture Library name and integrated with SharePoint by automatically opening when users added multiple images to a library; users could access these images from within other Office 2003 applications with the Shared Workspace task pane.[9]

Picture Manager is included in Office 2003 through Office 2010; it was no longer included with versions of Microsoft Office starting with Office 2013. However, it is available as an optional component in SharePoint Designer 2007 and can be installed as a standalone application;[5] SharePoint Designer 2007 was made available in 2009 as freeware.[10] Picture Manager is also available as an optional component of SharePoint Designer 2010.[5] With the release of Microsoft Office 2010 SP2 in 2013, Microsoft updated Picture Manager to resolve an issue that caused it to crash when Internet Explorer compatibility mode was active.[2]

Features

The Edit Pictures task pane with image editing options.

The

GIF image animation[13] and, like the version of Photo Editor included with Office XP, does not support the PCX image format.[14]

Basic image editing features include color correct, crop, flip, resize, and rotate. Advanced features include

wizard distributed with Windows XP.[17]

Comparison with Photo Editor

Picture Manager lacks several

Windows Explorer in Windows XP[6] and that users are not required to import images to manage them.[7]

Microsoft has published instructions on how to reinstall Photo Editor.
