CHAPTER 7

Working with Images

Whether you load your images from a digital camera or a scanner, download them from the Internet, or draw them yourself, Windows comes with a number of useful tools for working with those images. In this chapter, you learn how to import images from a camera, view your images, fix photo problems, and delete images.

The sky is partly cloudy with patches of blue visible. In the foreground, there are large rocks and some greenery, including a tree on the right side of the image. The horizon is visible in the distance, with a faint outline of land on the left side.”

Import Images from a Digital Camera

You can import photos from a digital camera or smartphone and save them on your PC. If your camera stores the photos on a memory card, you can also use a memory card reader attached to your PC to upload the digital photos from the removable drive that Windows sets up when you insert the card.

To perform the import directly from your digital camera or smartphone, you need a cable to connect your device to your PC. Most digital cameras and smartphones come with a USB cable. After you have the digital photos on your system, you can view or print the images.
