Importing photos using WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) Support (digital camera)

You can use WIA Support to import images from certain digital cameras. When you use WIA Support, Photoshop Elements works with Windows Me, Windows XP or later, and your digital camera software to import images.

Note: WIA Support is only available if you are using Windows Me, Windows XP or later.

To import images from a digital camera using WIA support:

1. Choose File > Import > WIA Support.
2. Choose a destination on your computer for saving your image files.
3. Make sure Open Acquired Images in Photoshop Elements is checked. If you have a large number of images to import, or if you want to edit the images at a later time, deselect it.
4. Make sure Unique Subfolder is selected so that the imported images are put directly into a folder named with the current date.
5. Click Start.
6. Select the digital camera from which you want to import images.

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

7. Choose the image or images you want to import:
• Click the image from the list of thumbnails to import the image.
• Hold down Shift and click on multiple images to import them at the same time.
• Click Select All to import all available images.
