Import Photos from a Digital Camera or Removable Media


A CD-ROM is a great way to store photos, and because of that, it is becoming a very popular media for them. If you use a film-based camera, you have the option to get a photo CD when you have your film developed. Many professional photographers will sell you a photo CD along with your prints. You might have burned your photos to CD to back them up. For whatever reason, you have a photo CD, and here's how to import the photos into your computer.

Import Photos from a Disc


Select Photo in the Project Pane

Select the Photo button in the project pane to open the Photo menu.

Select Import Photos

After you have opened the Photo menu, select Import Photos to launch Media Import.

Click Photo on the Import Menu

Make sure the Photo tab is selected. This brings up the Photo Import Wizard.

Insert Photo CD into CD/DVD Drive

Place the CD or DVD that you would like to take your photos from in the CD/DVD drive on your computer.

Select Device or Source to Import From

After you have inserted your photo CD, choose your CD/DVD drive from the Select device or source to import from drop-down menu. This brings up a menu of the disc in the drive. If you need to browse to the pictures you would like to import, do so.

Select Photos to Import

After your photo CD menu has opened, select the photos you would like to import. You can select all the files on the disc at once by clicking the Select all button in the taskbar at the top of the menu, or you can hold down the Control key as you select multiple files, or hold down the Shift key to select multiple contiguous files.

Choose Destination

When you have selected the photos you want to import, you need to specify a destination path on your computer to which to save the photos. The destination path is a location on a hard disk or any directly writable device, such as an SD card, USB drive, and so forth. Make this a folder that is conveniently accessible and easy to remember. When it comes time to add these photos to a project, you want to be able to find them again.

Click Import Now

After you have specified a destination, click Import Now. This saves your photos in the destination specified and brings them up in the Recently Imported window. You can continue to import photos as long as Media Import is open.

Make Immediate Changes

In the Recently Imported window, you have the opportunity to make a few quick, but sometimes vital, changes to your photos. By selecting the Preview option in the taskbar, you can quickly fix red eye, rotate your picture, or do some basic color correction. The steps here are pretty intuitive, but if you would like some help, refer to Chapter 6, "Editing Photos."

Close Roxio Media Import

After you are finished importing your photos and making changes to them, close Media Import. This takes you back to the Easy Media Creator Home page where you have many opportunities to have fun with the photos you have just imported.
