Adding photos to your photo library

When you connect an external device such as a digital camera, Microsoft Windows Vista detects your

external device and displays a message asking if you want to view, copy, or transfer your images to the

computer.

You have several ways to add photos to your photo library on the computer. You can:

 Use the memory card reader on the side of the computer to easily transfer photos from your digital

camera to the computer. HP TouchSmart can also display photos from the memory card reader.

 Download photos from the Web to your hard disk drive.

 Insert a CD or removable storage drive, and then move photos to the Windows Explorer Picture folder,

or any other folder on your hard disk drive.

 Connect a digital camera or digital video camera to the HP TouchSmart PC, by using the transfer

cable that came with the device.
