B. PHOTO SUITE 5 INSTALLATION
From the opening
If you plan to use other photo editing software, it is not necessary to install PhotoSuite. You may use method A below to transfer photos from the Imageview to your internal hard drive, then open them as .jpg files with the software of your choice.
DOWNLOADING PHOTOS
Either of two methods may be used:

B. OPENING PHOTO FILES DIRECTLY IN PHOTOSUITE FROM THE CONNECTED CAMERA (OPTIONAL)
With the Imageview plugged in to your computer’s USB port, start PhotoSuite. From the File menu, select “Open Photo”. Using the “Look in” pull down menu at the top of the Open window, select “My Computer”. Then select the “Removable Disk” which represents the connected Imageview. Double click, or select “Open”. Then open the folders found in the “Removable Disk” until you see a series of thumbnail photos with the file names (e.g., Dsc_001) below. Select one of the photos and double click or select “Open”. The photo will open in the editing screen of PhotoSuite. Edit the photo if desired (use the Help menu in PhotoSuite if necessary), then click “Done”. To save a copy of the edited photo to your hard drive, rather than back to the Imageview’s memory, answer “Save Changes?” with “Yes”, but then answer “Replace Existing File?” with “No”, and use the Save As dialog box (“Save In” pulldown as you did earlier to “Look In”) to navigate to a folder on your “C” drive or other desired storage location.
