Importing photos from a digital camera

Photoshop Elements works with digital camera software to import images directly from a camera. Make sure that the software and drivers that came with your digital camera are properly installed before you import images.

There are several ways digital cameras connect to computers. Be sure to check the documentation that came with your camera before you try to import photos.

To import photos:

1. Follow the procedures in the digital camera documentation to install any software that came with your camera and to connect the digital camera to your computer.
2. Do one of the following:
• Click the Connect to Camera or Scanner button in the Welcome window, and then choose the digital camera name from the Import pop-up menu in the Select Import Source dialog box.
• Choose File > Import, and select your digital camera from the submenu.

Note: If the camera name does not appear in the submenu, verify that the software and drivers were installed properly.

3. Once the digital camera software launches, import the desired images as you would if you were downloading them to your computer.
4. Save the imported image as a Photoshop Elements file.
