Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Office Picture Manager Tool is no more accessible from the Office Tools folder. There is no Office tool that will explicitly replace Picture Manager but there are picture editing tools within the core apps (like Word, PowerPoint or Excel) that can accomplish many of the same editing functionality which exist in Picture Manager.

You can also use Windows Live Photo Gallery to accomplish all tasks since it has a super set of the Picture Manager features.

You may refer the below link which discuses about the similar issue:

I hope the above information helps. If you need any further assistance reply and we will be glad to assist you.

Thank you.

    I am busy living the Dream that is America and am certainly way too busy at work to try to figure out where a bunch of young whizz software engineers put all of the stuff that I know and like just the way they were.

    Microsoft, don't abandon your faithful followers just to keep up with the Jones' - Pander to us and we will continue to be your bread and butter customers. 

    Unfortunately, MS is always chasing "new customers" / "new" money.  They ASSUME that they have existing customers fully "addicted" so that they will accept all changes / "improvements". In the past, MS had a policy of maintaining "backwards compatibility" with earlier versions. That is why things like "CTL-C" for Copy still work even though they originated in the 1970's and 1980's! But recently they have given up on that policy which is why we are stuck with abominations like the ribbon and the Metro "start scream" <grin>

    In the past MS focused on function over form.  With every new release of Office they gave you a "laundry list" of "new features" (often ones they stole/copied from WordPerfect or Apple <grin> ) and where to find them on the "same old" menu. Then in Office 2007 the main "new feature" was the "new coat of paint" called the Ribbon and very few other functional additions/improvements. But they refused to give us any way of getting "backwards compatibilty" to the menu.  It would have been trivial for them to do that, just add the (few) other new features to the ribbon and give us a "Option" to turn it on, but they refused to.

    Then the same thing happened in Windows, Win 8 came out with the "new and improved" "start scream". Form over function (when it comes to desktop type computers), again! During the public beta test, aka "Preview" of Win 8 people (aka "hackers") found a registry entry that allowed you to boot directly to the desktop.  Desktop users loved it! MS hated it so much that they issued an out of cycle "patch" / Windows Update to totally remove that option!  They tried to fob off the return of the non functional "Start button" in Win 8.1 update 1.

    Agreed, the picture manager was easy to use, and the interface easy to read.  Picture manager had the features from all those other programs together in one location, and with a much more consistent mindset of file management than more advanced tools (e.g. Adobo Photoshop).  Truly sad to see picture manager go; would be REALLY HAPPY (AND PRODUCTIVE) to see it come back!

    Feels more like a subset to me... plus the gallery requires a lot more clicks - compare the resize, crop... I used to be able to process hundreds of photos at  once... I am struggling to do one at the time now. (&(*^*%&%^$#%$#%$#%$
