Set advanced photo downloading options

The Advanced dialog box of the Adobe Photo Downloader offers several options not available in the Standard dialog box. For example, it lets you view all of the photos stored on a device, preview videos before importing them, and add copyright metadata. The settings you specify in this dialog box retain their values until you reset them.

    • To select multiple photos, drag a rectangle around their thumbnails, and then right-click and select Check Selected, or click a box below one of the selected images to check them all.

    • To select all photos, click Check All in the bottom left of the dialog box. To deselect all images, click Uncheck All.
