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!

    This is not only at poor decision it's a stupid one. Picture Manager is integrated with MS SharePoint, and allows you to optimize a bundle of photos in one single step when uploading. Using other tools to would have to optimize each photo first, and then do the "mass" upload to SharePoint.

    We have the option of not upgrading or have both 2013 and 2010 Tool installed :-(  From at IT departments standpoint, thats extra cost, time and money

    You simply have to change that decisions, or provide another tool to do the same.

    SHAME ON YOU

    After much testing and tinkering, I have gone back to my Office 2010 Install disk and installed the Office Picture Manager in order to have access to it in Office 2013.  It is too easy and useful to move away from.

    Microsoft has made a critical error in the Office suite by removing it.
