What is meant by Microsoft Office Picture Manager?

In this article, we are going to cover what is meant by Microsoft Office Picture Manager, so you can learn what this tool is used for and how to use it.

What is meant by Microsoft Office Picture Manager?

So, what is meant by Microsoft Office Picture Manager? It is a simple image-editing and management tool that was meant to be comparable to iPhoto and other similar programs. You can change and manage your photos from where you save them on your computer with Microsoft Office Picture Manager. The Locate Pictures tool aids in the search for images, and when you find them, the Picture Manager can fix them if necessary.

Cropping, expanding, or copying and pasting pictures is easier than ever before thanks to the picture editing tools. Sharing photos has never been simpler; you may send photographs via e-mail or set up a picture gallery on your corporate intranet. The Picture Manager feature is not available in Office 2013 and later versions. We recommend using the Microsoft Store‘s Photos app for Windows 10 if you’re using a PC.

Managing your pictures with Picture Manager

You may add shortcuts to the locations that have your pictures instead of switching between folders and lengthy lists of files. Picture Manager does not need you to establish new categories or upload photos. You may use pictures from a specific location as if you were working from the file system once you’ve added a shortcut. You can also create a shortcut to the folder where you keep your photos, or to each particular photograph.

Creating a shortcut to a folder

1. Locate the folder that contains your pictures.
2. Right-click the folder and select Create Shortcut.
3. Drag the shortcut to your desktop.

• Brightness and contrast
• Color
• Crop
• Rotate and flip
• Red-eye removal
• Resize your picture

When you’ve finished modifying the photo, click Save to save your modifications. To save your changes while maintaining the original photograph, choose Save As from the menu.

Sharing your pictures with Picture Manager

You may want to share your photos with your coworkers after you’ve finished editing them. You can send e-mail messages or set up a shared picture library for a collaboration environment that offers role-based permissions, as well as a customized picture management method that allows users to download pictures of any size or resolution while properly storing the original pictures. When sharing photos, keep in mind that you may scale them down to a level that is most useful for the way you’ll display them. Smaller file sizes display more quickly on a Web page, take up less storage space, and, if you’re sending images via e-mail, can be sent faster.
