Windows 10: The previous version of Photo Editor had much better options for recoloring photos. Where...

The previous version of Photo Editor had options for recoloring photos with names like "denim" and "vanilla" which produced excellent B/W photos. The new version eliminated those options and has made it much harder to produce high quality B/W images. And the new Legacy editor doesn't have those options either. Where can I get a version of the old Photo Editor that still uses those options?

Previous version of MS Photo Editor?

How do I return my computer to the previous version of MS Photo Editor? (Note: Restore point is not available)

Also, I'm not seeking Photo Legacy or Viewer, but rather the MS Photo Editor that was available up to 8/31/2023.

Not the new version that has the Markup and Retouch feature, rather the Editor version before that. Thanks

Microsoft has replaced Photo Editor with Microsoft Office Picture Manager, a new photo editing and cataloging program in Office 2010, in Office 2007, and in Office 2003.

If the application has been removed from your PC, when you install Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Office 2007, or Microsoft Office 2003, I suggest you to refer the following article to reinstall
