12-2 Getting Started

Adding Photos to the Media Library

Photo Organizer can import picture files from any drive that can be accessed by your computer: hard drives, floppy drives, CD-ROM drives, and network drives. It can also import pictures directly from a scanner.

To add photos to the Media Library:

1.Click the Get tab and click an icon representing the import source: Files (on a hard drive), Compact Disc, Floppy, PhotoMail or Scanner. You can also choose File, Import Files or Action, Get from the main menu.

2.A series of questions guides you through the import process for each source.

3.The final screen in the import process selects the destination for the imported pictures. The pictures can be placed on the Light Table, which is a temporary work space for organizing and editing pictures, or in an album. You may choose an existing album or create a new album.

Viewing Pictures

Pictures can be viewed on four different tabs: Gallery, Presenter, Catalog, and Details. The different views can be accessed by clicking a tab name at the bottom of the Viewer pane or by choosing View from the main menu.

■Gallery is the default view. Pictures are displayed as thumbnails.

■Presenter displays enlarged pictures, one at a time. Thumbnails of all pictures are displayed in a film strip. Display, rotation, and notes are controlled using the buttons at the bottom of the window.

■Catalog displays a thumbnail of each picture, along with the picture's title, author, date created, comments, keywords and classifications. Every field, except the file path, can be edited directly on the screen.

■Details displays information in a table format, with no thumbnails. Each picture has a row of information.
