Transfer photos to your PC: Options

Digital cameras use a memory card or stick to store photos. Eventually you’ll want to download your photos from the memory card to your PC.

If your PC has a 5-in-1 memory card reader, there’s a good chance you can just take the card out of the camera and slide it into your PC’s memory card slot. When the card is in, a menu will pop up on the PC monitor allowing you to choose a program to download your photos. Choose one of these options.

If your camera came with a dock or a cable that plugs into your PC photos can also be downloaded using this accessory.

Confirm your photos have downloaded to your PC by opening the folder where they're stored. By default, photos are stored in the Photo library. To access the library, go to the Start menu, select Photos, then arrange by Day to confirm that your latest photos are there.

You can now clear your camera’s memory card of the old photos to make way for new ones.

• To begin, create a new contact that is your e-mail address. (Your phone manual will tell you how to create a new contact.)
• Next, open the photo you wish to transfer.
• Click on the options button and select “Send.”
• Choose how you want to send it: “New picture message” or “Bluetooth.”
• Add the contact that has your e-mail address and press “OK” or “Send.”
• Open your e-mail program on your PC and check the in box. You should have an e-mail from your phone service with a photo attachment.
• Right click on the .jpg file and save it into your pictures folder (or a new folder you create).

• Double click the phone icon and the PC will give you an authorization code to punch into your phone. This allows your PC and phone to transfer files to each other.
• On your phone open the photo you wish to transfer.
• Under the options menu click “Send.”
• Choose send using “Bluetooth.” The phone will then send the photo wirelessly to your PC.
• You will then see a notification from the PC and the picture will appear in your Pictures folder.

If your phone has a memory card, you can remove the card and slide it into the PC’s 5-in-1 reader to transfer your photos (Make sure you use an adaptor for mini and micro cards). See the camera photos section for more information on memory card photo transfer.

• From the Start menu, click the Windows Live Photo Gallery icon.
• Click on a photo you’d like to edit. You can rotate, crop, auto-enhance, fix red-eye or fine tune it each image. Don’t worry about making a mistake or not liking the changes. You can always undo the change or revert to the original.

• Order prints through your choice of retailers by clicking on “Order prints” under the Create tab.

• Select the photos or videos you want to upload.
• From the Home tab, in the Share group, select a publishing destination, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
• If your favorite social network isn’t listed, you can add it to the Share group by clicking on the Add Plug-in from the drop-down menu, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
