You can download (copy) photos from cameras and card readers in several ways:
Copy photos from your camera or card reader, and import them directly into the Photoshop Elements Organizer using the Adobe Photo Downloader. This method is recommended because it is quick and easy, and allows you to improve and organize your photos when importing them.
Use the software that came with your digital camera to download
pictures onto your computer, and then bring them into Photoshop Elements using
the File > Get
Photos And Videos >
From
Files And Folders command in the Organizer.
If your camera or card reader displays as a drive in My Computer,
you can drag the files from there directly into the Organizer. Or
you can drag them into a folder on your hard drive, and then bring
them into Photoshop Elements using the File > Get
Photos And Videos >
From
Files And Folders command in the Organizer.
In some cases, you need to install the software driver that came with your camera before you can download pictures to your computer. You might also need to set the camera and card reader preferences in Photoshop Elements.
