Using Photos
Why don't I see any photo?
If you don't see any photo in the Photos screen, your album is empty.
The first time that you start the program, there are only two albums:
- All My Photos: this album contains all photos from all albums that you created.
- Photo Basket {Intermediate, Advanced}: this is a temporary album which may contain photos from different albums, allowing you to perform an operation on these photos at once.
- "All My Photos" and "Photo Basket" albums are empty after you install the program for the first time.
If you create an empty album in the Albums screen or if you delete all pictures of an album, the album will be also empty.
If you want to have photos in an album, we recommend you to perform the "Get Photos" step, which will guide you through the process of transferring photos from a digital camera (or scanner, memory card, removable media, or other device) or reading photos that are already stored in your computer hard disk.
How to delete/undelete a photo?
Place the mouse is over a photo
- The Rotate/Hide/Delete/More bar will be automatically displayed for that photo to perform common operations:
- Place the mouse over each button of this bar slowly.
- A yellow "hint" word will appear explaining the function of that button.
- When you see the desired delete/undelete function (yellow hint), click on the button to perform the operation.
How to sort photos?
In Beginner and Intermediate levels:
If you want to sort the photos manually, click and hold the left mouse on the desired photo and drag to desired position. For other sorting methods, follow these steps:
- Click on the "View" drop-down menu in the control bar
- Select one of these options: Tiny List, Small List, or No Thumbs List
- Perform one of these sorting methods:
click on Photo Title to sort by photo title.
click on File Name to sort by file name.
click on Date to sort by photo date.
click on Dimensions to sort by dimensions.
click on Size to sort by size.
In Advanced level, you have several possibilities:
Follow the same method described above
Click on the "Sort" drop-down menu in the control bar and select desired sort
Click and hold the left mouse on the desired photo and drag to desired position
How to move photos to another album?
Click on the "Move/Copy" button in the Photos screen and follow instructions.
Where are my photos?
Photos that are transferred from an external device (such as digital camera, scanner, memory card, removable media, etc.) are stored in the photo storage area. The default location is "My Documents/Photozig Albums". You can choose a different photo storage location by clicking on "Options" in the Home screen, "Storage" tab, and "Change Storage Folder".
When you create an album with photos that are already stored in the computer hard disk, the photos are not copied in order to save disk space (the photos stay in the original folder location), but you can fully manage your photos after the "Get Photos" step.
