Overview
In Kai’s Photo Soap 2, you can work with one photo, more than one photo, a folder full of
photos, or many folders full of photos. Digital photos are available from a wide variety of
sources. One way to get digital images is to just scan a printed photo, or you can use a
digital camera. Scanners and digital cameras are usually connected to your computer with
a cable. Pictures are moved (downloaded) from the camera directly into Soap 2. Another
way to get digital photos is to have a photofinishing lab or copy center scan and put your
photos onto a CD. Finally, you can download digital versions of your photos from a Web
site.
Once you’ve obtained digital photos, you can use the Soap 2 Organize area to:
• load photos into Soap 2
• look through your photos by spreading them out on a Soap 2 virtual desktop, creating a
contact sheet, or viewing them on a Soap 2 lightbox
• move photos around and pile them into groups
• look at full-size previews of one or more photos
• sort through photos, organizing them by name, date, size, color, how much you like
them, or by keywords that you’ve entered
• clean your computer’s hard-drive, by removing unwanted image files
