Saving Pictures/Videos
After you edit each picture/video, you must save it to keep the change(s) you made. You
have the option to Save or Save As.
Save
Generally, when you save a picture, the new picture overwrites the original picture file on the
hard drive. However, in EasyShare software, when you save a picture, you are saving your
edits under the same file name, yet you still have the opportunity to restore the original (see
“Restoring Originals”) at a later time.
1. When you are finished editing a picture, click Apply.
Your change is applied to the picture.
2. Click Save.
The edited picture is saved under the same file name.
3. Click Close to return to the My Collection screen.
The saved picture appears in the collection.
Save As
NOTE: If a picture is protected, you can only do a Save As, not a Save.
Save As lets you save the picture with a new file name and to the location on the hard drive
that you specify, allowing you to maintain the integrity of the original picture file. Save As
does not replace the original picture file unless you choose the same file name and hard drive
location as the original picture file.
1. When you are finished editing a picture, click Apply.
Your change is applied to the picture.

Organizing Your Pictures
EasyShare software provides different ways for you to organize your pictures so you can find
the picture(s) you need easily. You can organize by subject matter (in albums), by date, by
selecting as a favorite, by captions you assign, and more.
Using Albums
Albums provide a logical way of organizing pictures in your collection. Create albums to keep
pictures of the same subject or event together. You can create albums for pictures of your
child’s horseback riding lessons, your garden through the seasons, a vacation, or all pictures
of a certain person. A picture can also be in more than one album.
Creating an Album
Create a new album in one of several ways:
• In the My Collection task options pane, click (Create a new album) in the bottom
left corner.

Manually arranging pictures in an Album
You can manually click and drag the thumbnails of your pictures into any order that you
want. This is helpful if you want to arrange the pictures into a particular order for a slide
show or if you want all the pictures of a certain subject together.
It’s helpful to make the thumbnails as small as possible so that you can see more slides and
rearrange the pictures more easily into the position you want. The thumbnails will always
return to this order when you sort by “Manual” (View>Sort>Manual).
To manually arrange pictures:
Click and drag the thumbnail(s) to the place you want, then release the mouse
•
button to drop the thumbnail(s) into the new position.

circle that indicates how many thumbnails you are moving.

Command (Apple) key, then click the other picture(s).

picture from that album, you can remove the picture from the album without deleting if from
the collection.
1. Select the picture(s) you want to delete.
Each selected picture has a yellow border.
2. Choose File > Remove from Album.
The picture is removed from the album, but not from your collection.

Locating Missing Files
If you use the file system (instead of EasyShare software) to rename, move, or delete pictures
after they’re in your collection, the path to the pictures is broken. EasyShare software cannot
locate the file; the thumbnail of the picture with a broken link is reflected with a red question
mark.
Missing pictures will not be displayed in slide shows, in the Full-Screen viewer, or for tasks,
such as printing or emailing.
To locate the missing file:
1. Double-click the file with the broken link.
A message appears telling you that the pictures cannot be found.
2. Click Locate.
A dialog box opens allowing you to navigate to the missing file.
3. Select the missing file and click Open.
