Where are my pictures?

The most common question I get about digital cameras is "where are my pictures?".
Most folks have no problem taking pictures. They can usually connect their camera to the computer and even download the pictures, but there is where most people get stuck.
If you are using Kodak picture software, there is a folder created called Kodak under "My Documents". Other cameras may automatically put your pictures in the "my pictures" folder that is on everyone's computer.

The key to your success with a digital camera is to learn where the pictures go or change the settings to put the pictures where you want them.

Most picture software wants to take over all your pictures and organize them the way the software wants too.

A comment and a reminder

I received this comment:
When will they have lession 2 for
digital camera"s.
Ijust bought a kodak m763 (7.2)
with 1g chip. Ineedhelp emailing&
filing to find.

Sorry, all the digital camera classes are over until fall. Watch this blog for an announcement of our planning meeting when we plan the classes and schedule for fall.

Perhaps I can help you here on the blog. First, when you "save" your pictures from the camera to computer, be sure and notice where it saves the pictures. That should show in the window that opens up to ask you if you want to save pictures to computer.

the default setting is usually a folder on your computer called "my pictures" . My pictures is usually under the "my documents" folder.

If you are using Kodak software they may create a special folder on your computer. You will need to learn where that folder is.

Once you know where your pictures are, just go to your email program, write a message, and look for a paperclip symbol. Click on that. A window will open and a box to click on that says "browse" . Then another window will open that you can move around and find the folder where your photographs are. Then click on the picture you want to email. When the picture is selected go to the first window and click on the button that says "attach" . Then send the email and your picture should go with the email.


A reminder. There is a free music player over to the right of this post. Just click on the big green arrow. Have your speakers turned on and enjoy the music. You can minimize this page and do other things on your computer while listening to the music.

Music to Go Class

Thanks to all who attended and participated in the Music to GO Class.

I failed to call you attention to the music player on this blog. Look over to the right and click on the green arrow. Have your speakers turned up and listen. This has been here for sometime. I load about 40 songs on the player. During Christmas I will feature Christmas music. You can minimize the page and listen while you do other things on the computer. Leave a comment with what song or songs you would like to hear and I will try to include them for you. The music will change every few weeks or more often if you respond.
