Working with Digital Images

You can connect a digital image source, such as a digital photo camera or a digital video camera, directly to the HP Digital Entertainment Center or through a docking station. Most digital picture files you copy or download from the device appear in the My Pictures folder.

Windows XP and Media Center detect your external device and display a message asking if you want to view your images. You can display them from the desktop or from within Media Center.

You can copy digital picture files from memory cards used by digital cameras and other digital imaging devices by using the memory card reader (select models only).

When transferring pictures from a digital photo camera to your HP Digital Entertainment Center in HP Image Zone, set the camera’s USB setting to disk drive instead of digital camera.

Using HP Image Zone in Media Center

Most tasks, such as viewing a slideshow, sharing your pictures online, cropping, rotating, and printing your pictures, you can do both from the HP Image Zone program on your desktop and from within Media Center version. There are a few things, for example, like some editing functions and the Help files, that are only available in the HP Image Zone program on the desktop.
