Set advanced photo downloading options
The Advanced dialog box of the Adobe Photo Downloader offers all the options in the Standard dialog box plus several
additional options. For example, you can view all of the media files stored on a device or preview videos before
importing them. You can also add copyright metadata, specify an album for the imported photos, and automatically fix
red eye as the images are imported. The settings you specify in this dialog box retain their values until you reset them.
1 In the Standard Photo Downloader dialog box, click Advanced Dialog.
Thumbnail images of every file on your device appear.
2 To show or hide different file types, click the Image , Video , or Audio buttons. If the device contains
duplicate files, the Duplicate button is also available.
Note: Duplicate files are files that are already in the Elements Organizer or have already been copied to your hard disk.
If you download duplicate files, they are copied to your hard drive, but are not added to the Elements
Organizer.

• To select individual media files, click the boxes below each thumbnail.
• To select multiple media files, drag a rectangle around their thumbnails. Then right-click/control-click and select
Check Selected, or click a box below one of the selected media files to check them all.
• To select all media files, click Check All. To deselect all images, click Uncheck All.
4 To rotate one or more media files, select them by clicking the media files (not the check boxes). Then, click the
Rotate Left button or the Rotate Right button .

• Choose an option for naming subfolders from the Create Subfolder(s) menu. The Custom Groups (Advanced)
option creates a subfolder with the group name format you select in the Group Name box. The group tag name
helps you find and distinguish photos within a category.
Note: If you switch to the Standard dialog box, Custom Groups settings are lost.
• Choose a naming scheme from the Rename Files menu if you want to rename the media files during import. If you
choose Custom Name, type a base filename and a starting number for assigning sequentially numbered filenames
to the media files.
Note: If the name you entered exists, the copied image filename is appended with “-1” or another appropriately numbered
designator.
