Transferring pictures
from the camera to
the computer
While viewing pictures stored in the camera, you can choose
those you want to keep and then transfer them to the
computer. If you are using Adobe Photoshop or another
application compatible with Photoshop plug-ins, you can
transfer them to the image-processing application or directly
to an image file on your computer’s hard disk. (You choose
the method of transfer through the Expert Preferences button
in the Set Preferences window. See Changing the preferences
on page 77.) If you are using PDC-2000 Direct, you can only
transfer the pictures directly to your computer’s hard disk.
When you transfer the pictures from the camera to an image
processing application, you save each one by using the Save
As command in the application.
Most image-processing applications allow you to choose a file
format for the pictures you are saving. (A file format is a way
of organizing the image data so the computer can display and
work with it.) See instructions with your image-processing
application for a description of formats available to you.
If you prefer to save the pictures directly to your computer’s
hard disk or if you are using PDC-2000 Direct, your pictures
are saved as TIFF files in the folder of your choice.
Transferring pictures to an application
Use the following steps to transfer one or more pictures to the
computer through your image-processing application. (These
instructions do not apply to PDC-2000 Direct because it only
saves pictures directly to disk.)
Note: If necessary, disable the option that transfers pictures
directly to disk or change the resolution (800x600 or
1600x1200) of the pictures being transferred before starting
this procedure. (See Changing the preferences on page 77.)
