Microsoft Photo Editor does not open JPG files is there a reason for this.

Not supported? Just use Paint, or search for Paint.NET - very cool!

Hi John,

I work on the photos team and would like to help you out. Are you having
trouble opening jpg files in the Windows Photo Gallery fix pane or is it a
seperate application you are using?

Thanks,
Katie Frigon (Program Manager - Photos and Imaging eXperience team)

OK, noone laugh at me for this - I actually really always liked Photo
Editor. I know it's a crappy, limited after-thought added to the office
suite, but I have never found a program that has a better autocontrast
feature. JOhn, Photo Editor should have no problem opening jpg files, I
do it all the time. How many jpg files have you tried? What happens
when you try to open one, is there an error message?

Hi Katie,
your thinkin of picture preview that works fine if you right click on the
picture and select preview.
but Microsoft Photo Editor is the default program to load then double
clicking on a picture.
