What replaces office picture manager in office 2013?

The Office Picture Manager has been a very quick and easy tool to use, built into Office and readily available no matter what machine I have to use.  I would rather not have to install 3rd party software to do what MS has made easy to do in the past.

Any word on what this app is called now and where it's hidden in the Office 2013 install?

Thanks!

The best workaround I've found is to use the free SharePoint Designer 2010 to bootstrap the MS Office Picture Manager.

You can get the SharePoint Installer from this post:

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Office_Productivity/Office_Suites/MS_Office/A_12697-How-to-Install-Microsoft-Office-Picture-Manager-in-Office-2013.html

Then, for more detailed instructions, you can follow the Guide Here:

http://www.askvg.com/how-to-install-and-get-microsoft-office-picture-manager-back-in-office-2013/

The short version is to run the installer.  

Then choose "Customize" instead of "Install Now".  

Then deselect everything that's not "Office Tools" > "Microsoft Office Picture Manager"

Hey John,

You are correct that Office Picture Manager was removed from the suite. Inside programs such as PowerPoint and Word there are still editing tools. You also have Windows Live Photo Gallery which I feel is a much more program specific picture editing tool. Hopefully the small change does not effect your trial of the Next Microsoft Office.

Thanks for Posting!

    SERIOUSLY guys, just use Faststone Image Viewer:  http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm

    it's FREE, easy to use, and is better than OPM, with some really good editing tools, including clone and heal.

    I've nothing to do with the company, it's just great software and will be easier than all the messing about trying to reload an inferior program.
