Get Photos from
. Your first step in downloading is to choose your camera or card reader
from the list of available devices. (You may see a more generic “Camera or Card Reader”
choice rather than the name of your camera; if that's all you see, then pick that option.)
Just below this menu, the Downloader lists how many photos it found and how many du-
plicates (of images already in the Organizer) it plans to skip, if any.
▪
Location
. Your photos usually get stored in a folder named for the date you shot them. In
Windows, this folder lives in
C:\Users\[your user name]\Pictures
. On a Mac, it's
[your
hard drive]
→
Users
→
[your user name]
→
Pictures
. If you want to change where your
photos are headed, click the Browse button (on a Mac, it's the Choose button instead),
and then pick another location. You can permanently change the standard save location
by opening the Organizer and going to Edit→Preferences→“Camera or Card Reader”/
Elements Organizer→Preferences→“Camera or Card Reader” and changing the Save
Files In setting; from then on, the Downloader will put your photos in the folder you
chose.
