Adding Pictures Or Videos To Albums And Groups

To add pictures or videos to albums or groups, you must first locate the ones you wish to add. To locate pictures, use one of the following options:

• Use the All View to locate the picture(s) if they are already within your picture folder. This works well if you already have your pictures in your picture folder, but have not organized them. You can use the date selector to quickly locate pictures by date, or you can use the Filter Dialog to perform advanced searches.
• Use the Devices view to retrieve pictures from scanners, cameras or removable media.
• Use the Explorer View to locate pictures that are located outside your picture folder. This can be used to import pictures from floppy drives, network drives, CD-ROM's and even cameras that emulate drive letters.
• Open other Albums that may contain the pictures you wish to add.

Once you have located and selected the picture(s), you must specify where to add the pictures. To add the pictures, you can:

• Click the "Add To" button and then click on the album name or group to select where they should be added. Refer to Using the Add To Feature for detailed instructions.
• Press F9 (Shortcut for Add To). Follow the rest of the preceding instructions.
• Click and drag the pictures to an album button. Note: This can only be used to add them to an album (not a group). You must click and drag one of the selected pictures for this to work.
• Click and drag the pictures to another group or album in the All view. On the All view screen, you can drag a picture to any other album or group. The default action is to move the picture to that album or group. To copy it, drag with the right mouse button held down or hold down the CTRL key when dragging.
• Click and drag the pictures to another group in an Album view. This will move the pictures from the currently selected group within the album to the new group. If you wish to copy (instead of move) them to another group, hold down the CTRL key when dragging.
