Copying images using copy-and-paste Follow these steps to copy images to disk using copy-and-paste: 1 Select the images you wish to copy by clicking their thumb- nails (to select multiple images, hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard while clicking each image in turn), then select Copy from the Edit menu. 2 Open the destination folder and select Paste from the folder's Edit menu. The selected images will be copied to the destination folder. Short-cut: Press C while holding down the Ctrl key on the keyboard, or click a thumbnail with the right mouse button and choose Copy from the right-button menu. A progress indicator will be displayed while images are copied to the clipboard. Click Cancel to abort the operation. Once all images have been copied, the progress indicator will disappear. Working with Images: Copying Images to Disk Tip If an image with the same filename has previously been copied to the same location, you will be asked whether you wish to replace the existing file. If you select No, a temporary file containing the image data is created in the W i n d o w s t e m p o r a r y fo l d e r ( p a t h " ( W i n d ow s f o l d e r ) \ Te m p \ Camexp\Transfer"-the "Windows folder" is the folder to which Windows has been installed). When you copy further files with redundant names to disk, they are saved under names created by adding a number in brackets ([1], [2], [3], [...]) to the filename. This prevents users from accidentally overwriting image files on the computer. If you use this operation repeatedly, however, you may run out of room in the temporary folder. To free disk space, you may wish to delete the contents of this temporary folder periodically. - 25 -
