# 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.

1. In the Standard Adobe Photo Downloader dialog box, click Advanced Dialog.

   Thumbnail images of every file on your device appear.

2. Select photos to download by doing any of the following:

   - To select individual photos, click the boxes below each thumbnail.

   - 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.

3. In the Save Options section, choose an option for naming subfolders from the Create Subfolder(s) menu. The Custom Name option creates a subfolder with the group name format you type in the Name box.

   - Open Adobe Bridge
