Chapter 3: Opening Photos in Picture It!

Using your camera’s software

Some digital cameras— especially older models—may not function as a virtual drive or be TWAIN-

or WIA-compliant. For these cameras, use the software provided by the camera to download the photos to a folder your computer, and then open them in Picture It!.

To open photos from a camera or card reader that is a USB virtual drive:

1Make sure your camera or card reader is turned on and connected to your computer.

2On the File menu, point to Get Picture From, and then click Digital Camera.

3Under Click a camera or drive, click your camera or card reader.

4Click Download.

The File Browser dialog box opens, displaying the photos on the camera or card reader.

5Click a photo. To select more than one photo, press CTRL while you click the photos.

6Click Open.

If your camera does not show up as a drive in the file browser, it is probably designed to work using TWAIN or WIA support. Picture It! works with TWAIN and WIA and your camera’s software so that you can open photos into Picture It!.

To open photos from a TWAIN- or WIA-compliant camera:

1Make sure that you have installed all the drivers and software that came with your camera.

2Connect your digital camera to your computer, and then turn on the camera.

3On the File menu, point to Get Picture From, and then click Digital Camera.

4Under Click a camera or drive, click a camera.
