    How to get back the function to write on photos opened in Camera app?


    It is a great feature which I used a lot. I could write directly on the photos taken when selecting from the preview image in the camera app. Now this function disappeared and I have to open my "Photos" folder, then select a photo I want to edit, save and close. It takes plenty of time.

    :)

    Unable to write on photos opened in Camera app

    (Surface Pro 5) I used to be able to write directly on the photos I've taken when selecting from the preview (camera roll) image in the camera app. I could scroll through the camera roll and write on photos as I needed to. Now I cannot write on the pics
    opened through that method. I have to open my "Photos" folder, open the photo I want to edit, then save and close. I now have to do this for up to 200 photos per day. This really makes for a long day and cuts productivity to about a third. Any ideas as to
    how I can get this function back?

    Thanks for replying spunk. That's the 'alphabetical' list I was referring to, none of these apps are in that 'All apps' list. Any more suggestions?
