Downloading photos

[glassguy]

Can anyone please explain how to turn off the feature that kicks Elements 4 into action every time i connect my camera to the computer. I would prefer to use the programming supplied with XP to download pictures and Elements wants to be first in line. Thanks, Steve B

In the organizer, Edit>Preferences>Camera or Card Reader. Uncheck auto launch Adobe Photo Downloader on device connect (version 5 reads this way).

Then the next time you plug in your camera, you will get a dialog box that asks what you want to use to read the images.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have other questions.

Take that, Elements :p
