DOWNLOADING PICTURES

 FROM CARD READER

Remove memory card from your camera.

Insert card in appropriate slot of reader.

Start program Microsoft Picture It! Photo

Click File, Get Picture From, Digital Camera

Select from the list of drives by scrolling through list.

The drive your picture is on depends on the type of card you used.

Compact Flash and Microdrive cards (on left side) are drive H

Memory Stick cards (on right) are Drive?

Secure Digital and MultiMedia (on right) card are drive?

Smart Media cards (on right) are drive G

 Edit picture or pictures working from the Common Tasks Panel,
 or using the menu across top of screen.

Then use File to SAVE AS with a descriptive name to the storage device 
of your choice. You can also use Save Copy As, and Save Special, and
then Save as web-ready picture for images you want to email later,

The default setting for Save and Save As will save your picture BACK
to your camera card.

On your home computer, save to either the My Pictures folder under
My Documents, or to a folder created for that purpose. That is the best
option, creating a PHOTOS folder, and then creating sub-folders for
different kinds of pictures, such as Family Pictures, Nature Pictures, 
Baby Pictures, etc. For more info see the Files and Folders sheet.

 Library computers will not allow you to save to the hard drive.

To save to a CD (CD-RW only at this point) on the library computer, 
insert a CD-RW disc in the drive.  The computer will take control of the
CD after a moment. If asked if you want to format the disc, answer yes.
Be warned that a CD-RW takes 20 minutes to format!

After that you can save files directly to the CD from the image editing 
program—the CD will be Drive E.
