Microsoft Picture Editor was an image editing application, which was available in Microsoft Office 97 to Office XP. But in Office 2003 and Office 2007, Microsoft Picture Editor has been replaced by Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
Microsoft Picture Editor was used to perform texture, negative, adjust gamma and many others along with raster graphics. But some of its features have been removed in Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
Using Microsoft Office Picture Manager, one can crop, resize, and convert images between various formats with better picture quality. Many advanced features like saving, renaming, highlights, shadows, red-eye removal are included in it.
