Dear Amanda D.
Since you are the only person that I see has posted a Picteure manager
question I thought we may team up and solve this. I am having somewhat of the
same problem with no answer from microsoft or anyone else. Maybe we can help
each other if someone contacts either one of us with info. I've been
frustrated beyond belief and I work in Information Science but still can't
find the solution: here is my posted question:
RE: Office Picture Manager 2003. I over autocorrected and improperly resized
ALL of my pictures and then saved as prompted. Now the are all useless. -
Please someone tell me how to
revert to the "original" pictures. 3 years of collecting and 300 pictures
are ruined and blurry and unusable- Especially as a Deskop images--PLEASE
help-I've been trying to solve this for 2 weeks with many emails and no
response from microsoft or anyone else. This is very important for my work
as well.
Please answer to (e-mail address removed) or (e-mail address removed)
Thank you very Much

Hi B.G.,
If, hopefully, you've backed up your documents and pictures to a CD or another drive during the three years you can copy those
saftety copies back to your current drive to replace the ones with the same name.
With a bitmapped (JPG, BMP, TIFF, PNG) graphic if you replaced the original file with a modified version, using the same file name,
(i.e. if you used File=>Save rather than File=>Save As, or answered [Save] to the 'changes not saved' prompt when leaving Office
Picture Manager, then there is, unfortunately, only one file.
When you start to edit a picture in Office Picture manager it creates a temporary copy of that graphic. When you choose 'save' for
your edits it then deletes the original and replaces it with the temp file and gives the new file the original name. If you say no,
then it deletes the temp file and leaves the original file the way it started. If you use Start=>Run and type
%temp% {enter key}
look in that location for a folder named 'OIS' (Office Information Services - the original name for Office Picture Manager). That
is the folder where the temporary working copies of edited graphics would usually be kept. If there's nothing there then Office
Picture Manager has done its job of cleaning up after itself when you close the app.
If you reduced the picture size and you're trying to now enlarge one of those graphic file types, then as far as quality goes it is
basically the equivalent of drawing something on an uninflated baloon and then blowing up the balloon. i.e. as the baloon enlarges
the drawing that looked good when you started spreads out the same ink until it may look good from a distance, but not close up.
For that type of correction you may want to look for some scale graphics software packages. There are a couple that pretty much try
to 'guess' what to fill the space with to improve the quality of an enlarged picture.
If it has to do with lightening or darkening, some basic graphic editors, such as http://irfanview.com can batch process graphics,
but if you did each graphic manually in Picture Manager you may need to do each again. One of the problems with doing onscreen
editing is that you may have the brightness or contrast adjusted for viewing and then you think the pictures need more or different
corrections than they do, compared to how they print.

Hello Bob:
Thanks for all the info. Any changes made in MS picture manager was also
reflected in the my Pictures folder permanently it seems.
It seems that while I would save to "my Pictures" it was also saved on MS
Picture Mgr. I'll check out the OIS and follow all your suggestions. You
are very courteous and as a member of the St. John's University staff with IT
connections I've found out that courtesy is free and pays well with IT pros
at the College, but who were also baffled and didn't have a "magic" fix.
I work in Information Science and I asked one of our tech. professors how
to fix this and he was clueless (and he's a Fulbright Scholar). We teach
courses in web design , database courses, and other technical computer
courses in the Graduate Division of Library and Information Science. I'll be
sure to warn everyone about this potentially irreversible fix and I backed up
some but will deal with the loss. The OIS suggestion gives me some hope
though-for that I'm grateful. Thanks!!!
