About Picture Manager

Instead of navigating between locations and long lists of folders each time you want to work with pictures, you can add shortcuts to all the locations that contain pictures you often work with. Office Picture Manager respects your current folder hierarchy and does not require you to create new categories or import pictures. Once you add a shortcut, you work with pictures from that location as if you were working from the file system.

You can change how your pictures look by adjusting the following settings: brightness and contrast, color, crop, rotate and flip, red eye removal, and resize.

When you have finished editing, you can save the edits to the current file, or you can keep the original file by exporting the changed picture to another file name or to another location.

Once you have finished editing your pictures, you may want to share them with your workgroup. You can send pictures in e-mail messages or create a SharePoint Picture Library for a rich collaboration experience that features simplified administration and role-based permissioning, as well as a unique picture management model that enables users to download picture versions at any size or resolution, while efficiently storing the original pictures. When sharing pictures, keep in mind that you can also compress files to a size that is most efficient for the way you intend to use the picture. Smaller file sizes will display more quickly on a Web page, take up less disk space, and, if you are sharing pictures by sending them in an e-mail message, can be delivered faster.
