Can't find Graphics item in Visual Studio 2012 "Add New Item" dialog

Question

I need to add an image via the Visual Studio 2012 (Ultimate) Add New Item option. When I activate this option I get the Add New Item dialog box. Under the Installed node, I see many different options for the new item type. However, I do not see the Graphics item as specified in this MSDN article:

Image Editor

I checked ever node and child node in the New Item pane, including the Online node, just in case. Nothing (see image below). Can someone tell me why I can't find the Graphics as a new item type and how to add it to the New Item choice list? The project is a Windows Phone 8 project if that is relevant.

Answer 1

The template is not available from WP8 projects. But what are you trying to do?

If you are trying to add an existing image then you can just right click your project and choose Add-->Existing Item.. You can open the images in the image editor.

If you are trying to create a new one, a fbx 3d scene for example you can just create a normal console application (Template will be available for you here) add your graphics there and save them. Then you can add them to your WP8 project using Add-->Existing Item..
