In-Depth Information
The advanced dialog box gives you all the options found in the standard Photo Downloader,
plus a few more. The advanced dialog box is divided into two main parts. On the left side are
the thumbnails of your photos, and on the right side are a bunch of settings. The little check-
marks next to each thumbnail indicate which photos Elements plans to import; just turn off
the checkboxes for the ones you don't want to bring into the Organizer. If you plan to import
only a few images, save yourself some time by clicking UnCheck All below the preview area
and then just turning on the checkboxes for the ones you want. (If you've already imported
some of the images, the Organizer tells you so and doesn't import them again.) You can also
import video and sound files.
The four buttons above the preview area (next to the word “Show”) let you choose which
files you see. From left to right, here's what these buttons do:
▪
Show/Hide Images
. If you want to temporarily hide your photos (so you can look at just
your video files, for instance), click this button or press Ctrl+M/
⌘
-M.
▪
Video files
. This button is grayed out unless Elements finds any movie or video files on
your memory card. If it does, you can hide them by clicking this button. You might do
that if, say, you're interested in importing only still photos right now. To see the video
files again, just click this button.
▪
Audio files
. This button works just like the video button, but it becomes active when
Elements finds audio files you may want to import.
▪
Show Duplicates
. If Elements has already imported some of the photos on your memory
card and you want to see those files again, then click this button and you can reimport
them (or just see them for comparison's sake). In the preview area, the thumbnails of the
files you've already imported display an icon that looks just like the Show Duplicates
button in their upper-right corners to indicate that they're duplicates.
