Chapter 9: Capturing and Managing Your Digital Pictures and Videos

Importing Digital Pictures from Cameras, Scanners, CDs, and DVDs

You can import digital pictures into your gallery and automatically name your

imported items by completing the following steps:

1. Connect your camera or scanner to your computer, insert a data CD or DVD

containing pictures into your CD/DVD drive, or connect your memory card

reader to your computer with a memory stick inserted.

2. You’ll usually see an AutoPlay dialog box similar to the one shown in

Figure 9-12. In the AutoPlay dialog box, you’ll want to click “Import pictures”

to begin the import process. If you don’t see the AutoPlay dialog box and the

default option doesn’t begin a picture import, you can reset the AutoPlay

options as discussed in the “Changing the Default AutoPlay Settings” section,

later in this chapter.

If you always want to import pictures when you connect this camera

or insert this type of memory card, select the “Always do this for pic-

tures” checkbox and click “Import pictures.” Then, the next time you

import pictures, you’ll bypass the AutoPlay dialog box and go straight

to the Import Pictures and Videos dialog box.
