Exporting photos
Export photos from the Elements Organizer (Windows only)
You can export photos to a folder for backup purposes. When you export a photo, the original remains protected in
your catalog. You can control the exported photo’s size and file format.
Note: To export photos to a CD or DVD, your computer must have appropriate third-party software installed.
1 In the Elements
Organizer, select the items you want to export, and then choose File
> Export As New File(s).
2 Specify any of the following options:
File Type
Specifies the file format for the exported photo. Choose Use Original Format to keep the file in its current
format.
Size And Quality
Changes the pixel dimensions, file size, compression, and quality of the photo. You can’t increase the
original image size when exporting using the Original Format file type.
Location
Specifies the folder in which to store the exported file. Click Browse to specify a different folder or drive.
Filenames
Specifies the name of the exported file. Select Original Names to use the current name of the photos. To
export files with the same name plus a sequential number, select Common Base Name and type a name. If a filename
already exists in the target folder, the exported file’s name is modified to avoid overwriting an existing file.
3 Click Export.
Note: You can export photos by dragging them out of the Elements Organizer and into a page layout, word processing
application, or image-editing application (such as Photoshop), or onto the desktop of your computer. This is a quick and
easy way to export a photo, but it gives you no control over the exported file’s size.
Use photos as desktop wallpaper (Windows only)
You can make any photo or set of photos the background picture on your computer screen. You can easily switch the
wallpaper image as often as you like. Use your control panel to return your display to a Windows desktop pattern.
