Working with Digital Images

You can connect a digital image source, such as a
digital photo or video camera, directly to the PC or
through a docking station. Most digital picture files
you copy or download from the device appear in
the My Pictures folder.

Using HP Photosmart in Media Center

Most tasks, such as viewing a slideshow, sharing
your pictures online, cropping, rotating, and
printing your pictures, you can do in both the
HP Photosmart Premier program on your desktop,
and from within Media Center. There are a few
things, for example, like some editing functions and
the Help files, that are only available in the
HP Photosmart Premier program on the desktop.

Creating your picture catalog in HP Photosmart Premier

The first time you open the HP Photosmart Premier
program, a message appears asking if you want to
create a catalog by indexing images in the My
Pictures folder and its subfolders. This catalog
allows you to search for your pictures by date,
keyword, or place, by using HP Photosmart Premier.
