Bring back photoeditor because picture manager is inadequate

A

Alison Whitehouse

Photoeditor allowed me to click Alt + Return and it instantly told me the
resolution of the photo. Using Ctrl + P I could change the width or height to
see what the resolution would be when resized, and it would do this
proportionately (i.e. only needed to input either width or height). Any
amount of fiddling is required to do this in microsoft picture manager and it
simply doesn't appear as a feature at all in microsoft document imaging.
I am reduced to using a printout, a ruler and a calculator - 1980's retro
style.

You don't need a free download if you have PhotoEditor from a previous Office
suite.

MS Photo Editor, Wherefore Art Thou?
by Herb Tyson, MVP

The Office 2003 “Upgrade” Surprise -- A quote from the article

"If you left any vestiges of Office XP on your system, choose Start – Settings –
Control Panel – Add or Remove Programs – Microsoft Office XP – Change – Add or
Remove… - Next. Microsoft Photo Editor is listed under Office Tools. You’ll be
prompted to insert the CD at the appropriate time.

If you didn’t leave any of Office XP on your system, then you’ll need to insert
the Office XP CD, and ultimately navigate to the same location."

Several reasons. The first is because it's an .exe and the second is that I
don't know who "Russian Mike" is. I generally do not follow links that are
posted by people I don't know. I also know that Photo Editor is a MS product
that can't be downloaded legally.

You are more than welcome to follow that link but I'm going to pass.
