MS Photo Editor

Anyone have a solution to right-clicking on an image file and choosing "open with ms photo editor" only to find it opens with Windows Photo Viewer? Probably a missed Registry change or something, but I can't find it.

I am very grateful to the guys who made this work well! At last I have my favorite photo editor working again - and better than ever! Yeehaw! :)

I am not sure if clams are truly happy....good point by the way, , however when it comes to MS photo editor, I agree that it's great! As for your problem, is there enough memory on your pc or the type of photo you are trying to edit, it all depends. I know it's not a great answer, just a suggestion.

I would try to find a topic on pixels and maybe you might find your answer. I am certainly not a professional pc user, but I do alot of research on forums. I love Ms photo editor, but I am also looking for another photo editor where I can combine two pics together where it looks flawless. Still researching on this.

I hope you find the answer you seek!

Lilly70, I know it has been some time since this was active, but I use Photoshop and there is a picture merge or create panorama feature which does a seamless image combine function.

I also stumbled onto this with a Google search, Free Panoramic Photo Stitching Software - PanoramaPlus Starter Edition from Serif

I ran into that as well but I now just open the app from the Start menu and navigate to files from within the app. Perhaps not so convenient for a power user but I just use it once in awhile. Sorry can't help you other than to confirm I ran into the same thing.

Installed MS Photo Editor in Windows 8.1 Pro 64.
Works fine except for trying to scan from it.
Get these TWAIN errors:
1. First Error

2. Second Error

Second error happens after you close first error and then
hit the scan button again.
Does anyone have a Scanner / Twain working in MS Photo Editor?
Or any troubleshooting routine for this?
Thanks.

Here's the link: DStealth's 7Forums Page

I had some how misplaced the index file which was why the page didn't load for you previously. It's there now, should work :)

It works beautifully on Windows 10 64bit. Thanks DStealth!

FYI: Since the day I installed it, I have been getting Windows Update failures for Office XP Service Pack 3 (Error 0x80096004).

I have never had XP or Office XP on this new PC (just W10 and Office 365), so I suspect it's probably due to installing this Photo Editor. When I look in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features, the Publisher for Photo Editor shows up as "Micro$oft XP".

It's a minor annoyance that doesn't effect Photo Editor or anything else on my PC, and is trivial compared to the benefit (and joy) I get from being able to use Photo Editor again.

Thanks.

Did you get your scanner to work thru MS Photo Editor?

[QUOTE=condor655;3233907 Did you get your scanner to work thru MS Photo Editor?[/QUOTE]

No. It says the version of TWAIN is not supported, as "Photo Editor has detected an older version of TWAIN", and asks for Photo Editor to be reinstalled.

OK - You're getting same error that I get.
We'll have to pray to the TWAIN gods for a resolution!
