I have been using Microsoft Picture It! Premium 10 (mpi10) with Windows XP for quite some time until just recently when I bought a new computer with Windows 8.1. However, when I tried to install mpi10 on my new computer, I realized the two weren't compatible.
I really like mpi10, & I work with pictures quite often. Question is... is there a way to make it compatible, or is there another photo editing software that it compares with, that is compatible with Windows 8.1, & that I can download from your site?

Hi,
Yes, as per the compatibility status on Windows Compatibility center is concerned, Microsoft Picture It is not compatible with Windows 8.1. Refer to the link to get the details:
However, in Windows 8.1 Operating System, you can use Windows Live Photo Gallery in place of Microsoft Picture It:
Hope this information helps. For any further Windows related assistance, feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help.

How I still use XPPictureIt on Windows10 in 7 easy steps! I also loved my old XPPictureIt, but found I couldnt use it anymore. Then I discovered a trick. I am running my old XP version of PictureIt on Windows10 , and Ive gotten most of the basic tools to still work. The only problem was that I couldnt load or save any pictures. So heres my solution:
[1] Open a new blank picture.
[2] Copy the pic you want to edit into an Email (I still use AOL).
[3] Click on the pic and choose 'COPY PICTURE' option, ( NOT just 'COPY').
[4] Paste the pic onto the NEW BLANK PICTURE you just started.
[5] Do all the editing you want, but you wont be able to save your work directly from the old XPPictureIt program. My solution is:
[6] just COPY (CTRL+C) then PASTE (Ctrl+V) it back into another email.
[7] Save the finished pic from the email to your computer. Its easy-peasy to still enjoy the old PictureIt program.
My Rant > I remember when Windows10 first came out, they said 'we brought back the [START] button' as a major advertising slogan. Why the F*** did they remove it in the first place? Many improvements are not improvements, and sometimes its better to leave things alone!
I hope this helps!

Try FastStone Image Viewer form www.faststone.org. It's free and does much the same as Picture It. Easy to use too.
You might be interested in my book "Easy Digital Plant Photography", soon to be available on Amazon, which deals in detail with photo editing in a way intended to make it easy, which most publishers don't. I hope it will be available in a month or so.
