# Get photos from a digital camera or card reader

1. Connect your camera or card reader to your computer. (See the documentation that came with your device, if necessary.)
2. Do either of the following:

   - If the Adobe Photo Downloader appears, choose the name of the camera or card reader from the Get Photos From menu. Usually, the connected device’s name automatically appears, and Photoshop Elements automatically detects your camera.

     Note: Your camera or card reader must be switched on to appear in the Get Photos From list. If the menu doesn’t display the specific device name, choose Untitled. If no option for the device is available, choose Refresh List.

   - If the downloader does not appear, use Photoshop Elements File > Adobe Photoshop Downloader or Bridge File > Get Photos From Camera to open it.

3. In the Import Settings area, set the following options:
   Location
     Specifies the folder to which images are downloaded. To change the default folder location, click Select, and specify a new location.

   Create Subfolder(s)
     Creates a subfolder using the format selected from the pop‑up menu. If you choose Custom Name, type a subfolder name in the box.

   Rename Files
     Changes the filenames using the format selected from the pop‑up menu. If you choose Custom Name, type a filename in the box.
     Note: If the name you entered already exists, the copied image filename is appended with “-1” or another appropriately numbered designator.

   Apply Metadata
     (Optional) Select the options to use for adding metadata to the photos.

4. Click Get Photos.

   The photos are copied to your hard drive.
