Chapter 3: Opening and Importing Pictures
Microsoft Digital Image Standard User’s Manual
Opening pictures from other cameras
If your camera does not show up as a drive in the file browser, it is probably
designed to work using TWAIN or WIA support. For many cameras, Digital
Image works with TWAIN and WIA and your camera’s software so that you
can open photos directly into Digital Image.
To open photos from a camera that uses WIA support:
1. Make sure that you have installed all the drivers that came with your
camera.
2. Connect your digital camera to your computer, and then turn on the
camera.
3. On the File menu, click Import Pictures.
4. If more than one device appears in the dialog box, click the one that
represents your camera.
5. Click the pictures you want to import. If you want to import more than
one picture, press CRTL as you click the pictures.
6. Click Next
.
7. The pictures are copied to the My Pictures folder on your hard drive.
Using your
camera’s software
Some digital cameras—
especially older models—
may not function as a
virtual drive or be TWAIN
or WIA compliant. For
these cameras, use the
software provided by
the camera to download
the photos to a folder
on your computer. Then
open them with the file
browser.
