Microsoft Office Picture Manager (formerly Microsoft Picture Library) is a raster graphics editor introduced in Microsoft Office 2003 and included up to Office 2010. It is the replacement to Microsoft Photo Editor introduced in Office 97 and included up to Office XP. Basic image editing features include color correct, crop, flip, resize, and rotate. To facilitate image organization, Picture Manager includes a shortcut pane to which users can manually—or automatically through a Locate Pictures command—add shortcuts to folders in a hierarchical file system layout, which eliminates the need to create new categories for images or to import them to a specific folder. Picture Manager allows users to share images in email, to an intranet location, or to a SharePoint library. It also allows images to be shared directly with Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word. Microsoft terminated support for Picture Manager with the release of Office 2013 and recommended Photos and Word as replacements because of their digital imaging capabilities. 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. 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. 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; SharePoint Designer 2007 was made available in 2009 as freeware. Picture Manager is also available as an optional component of SharePoint Designer 2010. 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. Features The user interface of Picture Manager consists of menus, toolbars, a shortcut pane, and task panes; it supports editing and navigation keyboard shortcuts. Users can manually add folder shortcuts to the shortcut pane or automatically populate the pane with folders that include images through a Locate Pictures command, which eliminates the need for users to create new image categories or to
