Windows XP Starter Edition is compatible with a broad range of the latest digital cameras. If your computer came with a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, simply plug the cable into your computer. A wizard walks you through the rest of the steps to transfer the photos from the camera to your computer.
Find your photos
Windows XP Starter Edition enables you to find photos on your computer quickly. When you save a photo, Windows XP Starter Edition automatically stores it in a folder named My Pictures, right on the Start menu!
- Each time you transfer photos from your digital camera, Windows XP Starter Edition creates a new area, or folder, within My Pictures to contain them.
- Windows XP Starter Edition also names the new folder, but you can change the name at any time.
- Clicking on the folder displays the contents in thumbnail-size images. Double-click any thumbnail to see a larger version of the photo in the preview pane in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer program.
- If you have network or Internet access, you can also save your photos to a network location or publish them directly to a Web site.
- To select more than one photo in the folder, press and hold down the CTRL key while clicking each photo, and then drag the selected photos to move, copy, or delete them.
By the way, Windows XP Starter Edition can also store photos from other sources besides digital cameras, such as photos sent to you in e-mail or that you capture and save from the Web.
Tip |
What if you take a picture with the camera turned sideways to get a tall image into the frame? That is not a problem. Use the toolbar in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to flip the image right-way up. With the toolbar you can also zoom in for a closer look at any area of a photo, and enlarge an image to its actual size.
