7. 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. If you are using PhotoSuite, select File>Open Photo, then use the “Look in” pull
down menu at the top of the Open window, select “My Computer”, select your hard drive, and double click any
photo in the folder where you copied the files from the camera. It is also possible to open and work with your photos
directly from the ImageView while it is still connected.To do this with PhotoSuite, first follow steps 1-3, then open
PhotoSuite, select File>Open Photo and use the “Look in” menu to select My Computer, then select the “Removable
Disk”, and open the folders inside until you get to the “___.jpg” photo files. If you choose to work this way, from
a connected camera, be sure that you save the photo (when you are done editing) to your hard drive, and not the
camera’s memory or card. To do this in PhotoSuite, after clicking “Done”, answer “Save Changes?” with “Yes”, but
then answer “Replace Existing File”? with “No” and use the “Save As” dialog box to save the edited photo in a folder
on your hard drive (“Save In>Local Disk”), not the “Removable Disk” (camera).
8. If you are new to photo editing on a computer, consult your software’s Help menu (PhotoSuite has extensive
built-in Help) for tips on using its features. Along with adjusting the brightness, contrast, sharpness and color of
your photos, you can resize the photo to fit the paper if you are printing, or save a smaller, low or medium resolution
version for email or inser ting into documents. When you are ready to save your edited file, you may want to use
“Save As” and give it a more descriptive name than “IMG___”. Doing this also preserves the original file as a backup
to reopen and re-edit later. Make sure you have successfully transferred all the photos you wanted to save before
using “Delete All” on your camera to make room for new images.
