Please add your comments and votes to this suggestion in UserVoice in the hope that MS will notice and act the way we want (don't hold your breath):

MS stopped including Picture Manager in Office 2013. 

But is still a way to get it for free.  Picture Manager has been included in a couple of free downloads that you can get. Then you do a "customize" installation and select to install only Picture Manager.

Use Free MS 2007 Sharepoint Designeer - MODI and Picture Manager included**http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982760** for use with Microsoft Office 2010/2013/2016

If you just want MODI or Picture Manager 2007 or OneNote 2007, you can start the SharePoint installation process then select the **“Custom” install option.**This will allow you to deselect SharePoint and any other product you do not want wasting space on your machine.

Download SharePoint Designer 2007 

  • Do a “Customize install” to select SharePoint / MODI (under Office Tools) / OneNote  / or select only “Picture Manger” if that is what you want.

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16631 - SharePoint 2010 180 trial

Note: the free download of SharePoint Designer 2007 includes a few surprising extras:

  • OneNote 2007
  • MODI- MS Office Document Imaging
  • MS Office Picture Manager

NOTE: when one person ran that download it did not include OneNote. I redownloaded and ran it and did see it. We never did resolve what the cause was.

Here are instructions on how to do a Custom install of only selected items from Office setup:

Install or remove individual Office programs and components

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/install-or-remove-individual-office-programs-and-components-HA010354261.aspx   (Select only “Picture Manger” if that is what you want.)

Note: 2007 version is Free and includes MODI. 2010 version does NOT include it (don’t know if it is free).

    but I am certain Windows 10 is not compatible with my computer . . . It has permanently damaged my laptop . . . 

    My biggest loss was the Microsoft Office Picture Manager . . . I use it in my work every day and I was unable to find anything that could replace the simple design of this program . . .

    Because my install discs were unusable without a functioning CD - DVD Player, and the fact that my product key is missing information (worn away by years of use and cleaning) I had a Level 2 Technician at Microsoft Technical Support help create a flash drive to reinstall Windows 7 but all of the additional Gateway apps that came with my PC have to be replaced (if available) have to be replaced one at a time along with all the stuff I added . . .

    The Microsoft technicians and I tried for a solid week to determine what program created Microsoft Picture Manager without a clue . . . 

    . . . :) THANK YOU ! . . . . . . . Microsoft Picture Manager is installed and working just fine !

    It is 4:11 AM here . . . time for some sleeps !

    Flint knapping, cool.

    Some Idiot(s) at MS Support spent an week "searching" for Picture Manager. (No I am NOT calling YOU an idiot. You had no way of knowing, but they do!)  Wow, that is a new low for stupidity at MS Support.

    Hint 1: you can buy external USB plug in DVD readers for around US$50.

    Hint 2: you can use another computer (a friends, at a library, at a school) to copy the installation disk to your OneDrive or even to 4GB+ USB thumb drives. Then copy the installation files to the end computer. NOTE: It is a bad idea to run installation programs directly on USB drives.

    Hint 3: Once you recreate your desired computer setup make an "image copy backup" of it. That way, if you need to, you can restore the old image copy. That is a much easier way to recreate your desired configuration. You can do this with external programs, but Win 10 still has an adequate tool built in that you can use to do this with (backup to an external USB drive):

    How to revive your Windows 10 installation with System Image Recovery

    http://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-revive-your-windows-10-installation-with-system-image-recovery/

    Hint 4: Do up your seatbelt. This problem, Win10 "updates" wiping out installed applications and settings is going to keep happening. MS has changed updates so that they are now "cumulative".  Instead of making a flock of small updates and allowing us to exclude specific problem updates, all of the updates are rolled into one big update that includes all previous updates.  And these mass updates are both lazy and malicious.  They are "lazy" because they tend to impose MS default settings rather than picking up our personalized settings.  They are malicous, because if MS doesn't think an installed program is not "compatible", they often will do you the "favor" of uninstalling it.  But they give no warning that this is going to happen! 

    A (partial) Solution: sorry nothing great.  Right now all we can do is document our customizations.  Create a "change log" document/spreadsheet.  As you make changes/customizations record what and how you do it, ie insert a link to articles with instructions rather than rewriting the instructions, record product keys and installation file locations.  With this document you can more quickly and easily recreate your complete system customizations. It just takes some discipline to do.

    Happy computing.
