TIP
•
When images are saved from a digital* camera or a scanner in the computer Windows XP
usually files them in the My Pictures folder included in the My Documents folder. From within
the My Pictures folder, it is possible to add, delete, move and rename files. Any additions or
modifications are made immediately to the My Pictures within Media Center.
•
In addition, if you take pictures with a traditional camera, it is possible to create presentations
and share the images using Media Center. Most photo shops can develop film digitally and
put the photographs on a CD or make them available on-line so you can download them to
your PC.
*Note: Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 supports a vast range of interfaces to connect your
digital camera, for example Fire Wire (IEEE 1394) and USB, as well as the most popular memory
cards for cameras.
