6.2.2 Capturing Photos using an Photo Editing Program
If you have an photo editing program installed on your computer it will step
you through the process of transferring photos from your camera or the camera’s
media card (using a media card reader). In this example we have a Dazzle 6-in-1
USB Card Reader connected to one of our computer’s USB ports and we are
using Adobe Photoshop Elements:
1. Create a folder for the current use or mission (see the section on
“Organizing Mission Photos on a Computer” below). You may create an
“Unedited Photos” subfolder now, or wait and do this as part of the
transfer process as discussed below.
2. Insert your media card into the card reader. Remember to be gentle
when inserting the card; if you insert it improperly it will be obvious, so
don’t try to force the card into the slot – just remove the card and turn it
over and try again.
3. Once the card is inserted properly (usually denoted by a green light
illuminating on the card reader), the computer will automatically recognize
the card. In this example, Elements will display this download window:
4. Select the photos you want transferred to your computer. Note: Elements
automatically selects all the photos on the card for transfer, as denoted by
the checkmarks in the small boxes to the lower right of each image. If
you don’t want to transfer a particular photo, simply uncheck the box
associated with that image.
