    When will Windows Photo app "Clarity" feature be added back?


    I used the Clarity feature extensively in the Windows Photo app for work I'm doing for photos in a book I'm creating. It was vital to my workflow and I've been waiting for it to be added back. I've not been able to find another photo application that has a similar feature that works as well as the clarity feature. Please bring it back!

    :)

    When will Windows Photo app "Clarity" feature be added back?

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done When will Windows Photo app "Clarity" feature be added back? :) I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
