Getting photos from a mass storage device

The ACDSee Get Photos Wizard guides you through the process of downloading photos or files from a USB mass storage device or a Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) device. You can preview the images you want to download, and specify a location for them on your hard drive.

If your device does not have an MSD or WIA driver installed, ACDSee Device Detector will not be able to detect it.

To download photos from a mass storage device using the Get Photos Wizard:

1. Connect the USB mass storage device to your computer.

2. Click File | Get Photos, and then click From Camera or Card Reader.

3. On the Welcome page, select the Skip this step next time check box to bypass the Welcome page the next time you use the wizard. Click Next when you are ready to continue.

4. On the Source Device page, select the Mass Storage Device from the Type list. ACDSee scans your device and displays the available options. In the Device list, select the specific name of the device from which to download your files. Click Next when you are ready to continue.

5. On the Files to Copy page, select a file format to save your images. You can click the Options button to select any file-specific options available for your chosen format. Note that not every file format has additional options. Click Next when you are ready to continue.

6. Finally, on the Output Options page, specify whether you want to rename your images using a template, and where to place them on your hard drive. You can select options to automatically correct the orientation of images taken with certain digital cameras, and to remove the files from your device after copying. When you are ready, click Next to copy your photos and files.

7. Select Browse to your images if you want to view the files in the Browser, and click Finish to return to ACDSee.
