Tips for unloading images to a Macintosh computer
lWhen you unload images to your computer, the images are still stored in the camera until you delete them. If you take new pictures and then unload images again, the automatic unload software ignores the old images. That way, you do not end up with multiple copies of the same image on your computer.

If you have no new images in your camera when you connect it to the computer, the automatic unload does not take place.
In the Options window, you can disable the automatic unload feature. To turn the feature on again, open the Options window in the ArcSoft PI folder.
lMake sure you know where your images are stored on your computer’s hard disk. By default, images are stored in the PhotoImpression folder, for example Macintosh HD:ArcSoft PI:Photos:2002.07.04. If you ever decide to delete the ArcSoft PI folder, you must first move your images to another folder. If you do not, your images will be deleted from the hard disk when you delete the PhotoImpression folder.
