Need Help W/printing Pics!

[treynolds]

Ok--I took the new Rebel XTI on our WDW trip. Took over 800 pictures We got home and I had some trouble downloading all my pics. Someone on the DIS forum suggested a card read. I went and bought a SanDisk cardreader, GREAT IDEA I love it . Now I downloaded all my pictures on Adobe 2.0 starter edition that I received w/my card reader. Now I can not do anything w/them. I spent days and days editing pics and getting them like I want them Now I have figured out that I can not get them off of Adobe. I was going to upload pictures to SnapFish to have them processed for me--great price. I can't upload--then I had bright idea to burn to cd---can't do that either I do not want to have to re-download and start over. Any suggestions? Also I need to invest in adobe photoshop. Which one? 2.0, 4.0 5.0. I am so confused

Are these files PSD files, or jpegs?
If they are PSD files, they need to be converted. I am assuming it is Adobe's photo album software? I am not familiar with that, so I would just look at the files extension. Most all places will take jpegs but not PSD (adobe's format)

If you can access your edited pictures using the Adobe Starter Edition (ASE), then you should be able to do anything with them. The secret is to find the image files on your PC. I'm not sure where ASE actually stores it's finalized files, but they are probably somewhere in your My Documents folder. They might be stored in My Documents | Adobe| <something else>.

Open My Documents by double-clicking on the folder on your desktop or , if it's not on your desktop, open My Computer and it should be listed there. Search around for files ending in .JPG. These will be picture files. open them to see if they are the ones you are looking for just by double-clicking on them.

Once you find them, highlight the ones you want to send to your CD. Then, right-click and pick Send To and select your CD drive. It will prepare to send it to the CD. Continue this process until you have all the images sent to the CD. Once done, click on the little popup ballon that has been showing up during this process in the lower right-hand corner. It will say something like There are items waiting to be written to disc. This opens a folder with all the prepared files just waiting to be sent to the CD. Ensure there is a blank CD in the drive then select the option on the left to write contents to disc.

That seems to be my problem. I can't locate them. I have searched everywhere. I went in under my computer and pulled my adobe. The pictures are not showing up. They are in the photo album but not showing up anywhere else. I think they are jpeg. They may not be. I am going to check on this. Thanks guys. Anymore advice?

Go to Control Panel:
Click Tools>Folder Options>View
Click "Show hidden files and folders", Click "Apply" The hidden folders will able pale in color compared to your normal folders.
Go to My Computer>Click on "Documents and Settings", Click on the file with your User name.

Click "Recent", your pix should be in the file.

in windows explorer, right click my computer, then click search.. then choose pictures, music ,video, then pick pictures/photos.......that should find picture files of any type on your hard drive..

Choose Advanced options and then choose More advanced options and choose "look in hidden files and folders" in explorer search.

OK. I found the pictures going through the way you explained above. Here is my new problem...(Yes, I know I am difficult). In the Adobe Photo Album, I have edited my pictures. I spent quite some time editing all 800 pictures and deleting those that were no good. When I pull up the pictures through the file described above... I get the original pictures that were downloaded, not the edited ones...all 800 of them. How do I get to the edited ones? I tried going through adobe and replacing the original picture with the edited one. It said it was successful, however, it does not show when I pull the files. Why is this so hard for me. I know I am a newbie but I usually consider myself pretty computer savy, however, this is driving me CRAZY!!!!

open your adobe, open a picture. click on save and see where it is saving them to...



I never let my software upload my pics from my card reader.. I always use windows explorer, then copy pics to a folder I created...main folder is photos, I create a new folder within the main folder for each new set of pics, then a subfolder of that for my edited pics, it makes it much easier to find photos..

I downloaded the program and played around with it. It saves the edited pix to your original folder. The pix in the album are "connected" to the original. All of the pix I changed were in that folder but "edited" appeared at the end of the file name.
