transferring photos from one program to another

[Guest]

I had hooked my camera up to the computer to download the pictures on Adobe
Photoshop. That worked out good. What I am trying to do is transfer these
photos to Kodakgallery.com. How do you do that? When I downloaded from
camera to Adobe Photoshop I didn't not name it or anything. The photos are
on Adobe Photoshop. Please help me. Adobe Photoshop is a hard program.
It's like everytime I download pictures all the pictures go straight to Adobe
Photoshop. Why is that? I really don't want to use Adobe Photoshop. Can
anyone PLEASE HELP ME> Thanks very much.

To load them into Kodakgallery, you must find where you saved the photos
when you had them in Photoshop. If you didn't save them anywhere, the
photos are gone. Photoshop just loads images into memory, and it only saves
when so instructed; there is no such thing as a photo permanently residing
in Photoshop.

The reason that the downloads go to Photoshop is either that you told the
Wizard to use Photoshop as the default application or that you have
associated Photoshop with the file types that you download.

We will try to help. Don't take anything below to be offensive.
1. There is no such thing as downloading to Adobe Photoshop. Adobe Photoshop
is simply a photo editing software that you installed on your computer, or
your computer came with it or it came with your camera. What is happening it
when you connect your camera to your computer, Adobe Photoshop (and I am
guessing here that this is Adobe Photoshop Elements, let me know if I am
wrong) opens and offers to download the pictures from your camera.
2. So you let Adobe Photoshop download the pictures. Fine, nothing wrong
with this, as you said "that worked out good". But, the photos are not on
Adobe Photoshop. The photos are in a folder on your computer. Most probably
they are in the "default" picture folder and this would be under My
Documents/My Pictures. Is this where your pictures are? Can you take a look
and let us know.
3. If these photos are in the folder My Documents/My Pictures, you can open
Kodakgallery.com and then select the upload button at this site and follow
instructions to find the photos on your computer (probably under My
Documents/My Pictures) and upload them.
4. So, you are not transfering photos from Adobe Photoshop to
Kodakgallery.com. Simply go to Kodakgallery.com, click on the Upload button
and follow the instructions to upload photos from a folder on your computer
(again probably My Documents/My Pictures) to the Kodakgallery.com site.

If the above does not work, get back to us.

One more thing. It may be that Adobe Photoshop, the way it was installed, is
also your photo viewer. When you double click on a photo file, does it open
in Adobe Photoshop? If so, this is a pain. Just change it.
Right click on a photo file.
Click on Open with on the opening menu.
Click on Choose program at the bottom of the opening list.
Click on Windows Picture and Fax Viewer on the opening list and check the
box "Always..."

How do I change the default to have my photos go somewhere else than to Adobe
photoshop. Thanks for helping.

 

[Guest]

Thank you so much for the information it was very helpful. I understand a
little bit more now. I am going to try and do what was said. I will get
back to you soon and let you know how I did. Thanks again.

 

[Guest]

Yes the pictures were in My documents then my pictures. Thank You. I did
that much. I tried what you had said about Adobe Photoshop maybe installed
as my photo viewer. It may, I could not figure out where to double click on
photo file and if it is set as my default how can I change it. I went to
Adobe Photoshop and did not find any place that says photo file. I'm not
real bright when it comes to this stuff. But thanks to you I am learning.
Thank you Thank you. You had said to right click on photo file (where is
this)? )))

 

[Yves Alarie]

Don't worry about not knowing too much about computer stuff. This is a
friendly site.

Here is what to do now.
1. Open the folder My Document\My Pictures
2. After you open the folder you see the name of the photo files or the
thumbnail of the photo files. Double click your mouse pointer on the name of
one photo file or the thumbnail of one photo file.
3. After you double click, the photo file will open full screen.
4. Look at the photo after it opens. Do you see a bar above the photo with
the name of the photo file and next to it "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer".
Also, do you see some little icons below the photo and when you place your
mouse pointer over an icon you get a text describing what it can do? If so,
you are in business, you don't have to do anything else.
This simply means that Adobe Photoshop Elements opens automatically when you
connect your camera to your computer and helps you transfer the photos to
your computer but then Windows Picture and Fax Viewer takes over when you
want to display your pictures on your computer.
5. If the above #4 is not what happens when you double click on a photo file
to open it, tell us what you see on the screen and we will get back to you.

When we say "right click" we simply indicate to place the mouse pointer over
a file name or thumbnail and depress the button on the right side of your
mouse. When we say click, or double click, we simply indicate to place the
mouse pointer over a file name or thumbnail or any other item and depress
the left side button of your mouse. We never say "left click", it is
understood that click is left click.

Free advice. Obviously you are new to this and I hope you have fun will
digital pictures. The number of requests about "I have lost my pictures"
continues. Do yourself a favor. Copy your photos to a CD-R after you
download them from your camera. This is very easy to do with XP itself but
if you don't want computer jargon, download a user friendly and free
interface from here:
www.picasa.com
This software will scan your hard drive and find all your pictures. After
finding them, when you open Picasa it will automatically display all the
thumbnails of all the photos on your computer. You can then use this
software to copy to CD as well as share pictures with friends.

Hi there, Thank you again for answering my last question. It was getting
late last night so I had to wait until this evening to read your last
response. Which I am going to try now. I will get back to you soon. Again
thank you so much for all your help.

 

[Guest]

I am back I tried what you said about double clicking on the photo file.
When I did that I get a pop up that says "searching for missing file. To
locate the file yourself, Click Browse. Then it gives you the choice of
Browse or Cancel". I don't know if I did exactly what I needed to do. But I
did what I thought you said. Get back to me and let me know if I'm on the
right track or not. Thanks again for all your help.

When you go to My Documents\My Pictures, after you open My Pictures, you
should see thumbnails of the pictures that were trasnferred from your camera
to your computer. These thumbnails are just small files representing the
content of each picture. Do you see these thumbnails, can you recognize that
these are pictures you have taken?

 

[Guest]

I did it right then. I double clicked on the photo and the message came up
saying "searching for file" then it gave you an option to either browse or
cancel. Under my pictures are several pictures. I clicked on the name of the
photo file under the picutre. And then "searching for file" came up. Again
I appreciate all your help. Your probably getting tired of helping me on
this one problem. Do you know of a better photo place to go to. That picasa
was neat. That found all my pictures. Thanks

[Guest]

I'm Back. I just redid what you had asked me to do earlier. This time I did
it right. After you right click on the photo file name A window pops up the
first line says opens with Adobe photoshop Edition 3.0. I understand now.
Thank you so much. I think I can handle it now. Finally. THankyou Thank
you Thankyou

 

[Yves Alarie]

No problem.
Glad it worked.
Yes, picasa is nice. Nobody should be a computer expert to display photos on
a computer.
If you need more assistance, start a new post and someone will help.

 

[Wolfman]

OK, let me add an additional question here. How do you transfer photos from
the my pictures files to a program like KodakEasy Share even though the
photos are shared documents?

 

[Bob]

Wolfman,

In the future, do not hijack someone else's thread with a new question.
Start your own thread.

Preferences can be chosen from within each program. Additionally, AutoPlay
options can be chosen from the Control Panel.

The photos are not "on Adobe Photoshop", they are located on your hard
drive. What you see in AP are "links" to the photos.
