Finding Images and Folders (1/2)
The images that you downloaded in Chapter 1, Downloading Images to a Computer, should be contained in the My Pictures folder. As you will note, the folders mentioned above also appear at the right of the ZoomBrowser EX window.
It is important to understand how folders are used in ZoomBrowser EX to store images.

Where Are Images Stored?

Use the following procedures to find out where image files are stored on your computer when they are downloaded from the camera.
Click the Windows [Start] menu and select [My Pictures].
Windows 2000/Windows Me/Windows 98 users should doubleclick the [My Documents] folder, followed by [My Pictures].
If you double-click the folders appearing in the Windows screen shot at the left, you will find image files and folders with the same names as those displayed in the ZoomBrowser EX window. As this demonstrates, when you open a particular folder in ZoomBrowser EX and download images to it, or move images between folders, these changes are also happening in the corresponding folders shown by the Windows operating system.
Finding Images and Folders (2/2)

Folders within Folders

You can create folders within folders, adding successive levels to provide detailed categories that make it easy to find and use your images.
Folders in the Browsing Area and Folder Area
Image thumbnails (tiny versions) are shown in the right-hand side of the ZoomBrowser EX window. This area is called the Browsing Area. The area in the middle, called the Folder Area, shows the folder directory much as it is shown in Windows Explorer. The Folder Area shows all the folders on the computer. The orange colored folder is the currently selected folder. The images inside this folder are what are shown in the Browsing Area.
Example of folders within folders for categorizing images
Instructions for creating folders are included in Chapter 4.
In ZoomBrowser EX 4, image files in folders within the Program Files folder (saved using ZoomBrowser EX 2 or 3) will not display. To display these images, follow the procedures in If You Were Using ZoomBrowser EX Version 2 or 3 of the Troubleshooting (2/ 4) section.

Appendices

Supported File Formats

PhotoCD files (.PCD)

This is the format used by Photo CDs.
The following is a list of file formats supported by ZoomBrowser EX.

Readable files

ZoomBrowser EX can read the following file formats.

Video clip files (.AVI)

This is the standard Windows video file format. The ZoomBrowser EX Browsing Area will display a thumbnail image and the video camera symbol. When you click the thumbnail or movie icon, QuickTime Player starts and plays the video clip. (You must install QuickTime Player before you can use it.)

JPEG files (.JPG)

Most cameras use this file format. It compresses at very high ratios, taking advantage of the characteristics of the human eye. However, because it is an irreversible compression method (part of the data is lost during compression), if you process and save an image repeatedly using this method, the image may become rougher.

QuickTime files (.MOV)

This is a movie file format. The file appears as a movie mark in the Browsing Area of ZoomBrowser EX. When you click the movie mark, QuickTime Player starts and plays the movie. (You must install QuickTime Player before you can use it.)

RAW files (.CRW)

This format is a proprietary file format provided by Canon. It saves the output of the image pixels from a digital camera without any deterioration in the quality of the image. Some cameras might not support this file format.
Windows bitmap files (.BMP)
This format comes standard with Windows. Most Windows programs support it.

TIFF files (.TIF)

This is a relatively popular format. It is widely supported by nonWindows programs (such as Macintosh).
Auto-Download Settings (1/3)
Select the action executed when the camera is connected and click [Next] or [Finish].
You can set which downloading method is used after ZoomBrowser EX starts automatically when the camera is connected to the computer. You can also use this setting to specify the downloading process when the camera is connected to the computer after ZoomBrowser EX is already running, or when you click the [Camera & Memory Card] task button and select [Browse & Download Images].

Opening the Preferences dialog box
Click the [Tools] menu and select [Preferences] to open the Preferences dialog. To change a setting, click the appropriate tab in this window.
Sets the thumbnail settings for the Browsing Area.
This group box controls the way the zoom operations react in the Browsing Area (Moving the slider to the right increases the image display speed).
Customizing Preferences (2/3)

Remove this check mark to streamline the image selection steps when a task button is used.
With [Windows standard selection], the first image is deselected when a second image is clicked. Multiple selections can be made by holding down the [Ctrl] and [Shift] keys while clicking on successive images.
Customizing Preferences (3/3)

Rotate Tab

This tab sets the rotation settings.
Place a check mark here to have the original image rotated as well when a JPEG image is rotated in the Browsing Area. Only the rotated image is sent to the Browsing Area when you download an image that has been rotated in the Camera Window. Place a check here to have the original image left untouched and the rotation applied to a copy when a JPEG image is rotated. Both the original image and the rotated image are sent when an image rotated in the Camera Window is downloaded to the Browsing Area.

Customizing Menus

Click the [Tool] menu and select [Customize] to open a window like the one shown below. Use this window to set the categories to display and click [OK].
Sets whether options are shown or hidden on the menus opened by clicking task buttons in the main window.
