Transferring Photos to Your PC-
cont.
3.
(This step is not required with Windows XP or Vista-you may simply use the options that will appear on
your PC after the Viewer is connected to view, copy, edit, email, etc. your photos). Open “My Computer”
or Windows Explorer. The Viewer will be shown as a new “Removable Disk” with an unused drive letter
assigned to it. Double click this new “Disk” icon, then open any folder or folders found inside to get to your
photo files. Single clicking any file should show a small preview image.
4.
Click “Edit>Select All” (or click on one photo, click to select multiple photos), then “Edit>Copy
to Folder” (in Windows menus). Select an existing folder on your hard drive, such as “My Pictures”, or
create a new folder (e.g.,“Trail Cam #2-Maine-May 07”), then click “OK” to transfer copies of the photo
files you want.
5.
After the photos are transferred to your hard drive, you can disconnect the Viewer. Windows 2000 may
produce a screen warning that you have disconnected a USB device without stopping or ejecting the “disk”
first (your photo files will not be harmed). If so, check the box that adds an icon to your system tray or
taskbar. Then next time you finish transferring photos, you can click that icon first, and “Stop the USB
Mass Storage Device” before disconnecting the Viewer. On Macs, you should “eject” the Viewer before
disconnecting, as you would any external storage device.
6.
You’re now ready to open the photo files in any photo editing software. Just use File>Open and go to the
folder where you stored the photos earlier. It is also possible to open and work with your photos directly
from the Viewer while it is still connected-under “File>Open”, select the “Removable Disk”, and open
the folders inside until you get to the JPEG photo files. If you choose to work this way, from a connected
Viewer, be sure that you save the photo (when you are done editing) to your hard drive, and not the Viewer’s
“Camera”/Source card.
