    Import photos from e-mail

    Jean- Pierre Lemonde Community Member
      I post this question first on feature request by mistake.Now I think I am in the right place.Here is the problem: i receive photos by e-mail, open the first one,Organizer opens up and I can have a look,put a tag and so on.Coming back to the e-mail i try to do the same but I am coming back to Organizer and impossible to import the next photo unless i close PSE 4 and start a new session.
      Beside this problem i notice that the imported photo in Organizer is classified in a temporary internet file OLK 101 and end up with a missing file.
      What is wrong? Hope I explain right.
      Thank's

          Try this:
          1. Right click on the picture>save picture as> and specify jpeg + save in "My pictures"
          2. Now it should be on your hard drive, ready to be opened via Elements. After enhancing it, save as you wish.
          3. If they send you an e-mail with attachment as JPEG, you can save this to your hard drive and proceed from there.
          Let us know how you make out.

            Organizer references the location of a file. Email Images are stored in a temporary internet file. When you first get your email you can right click and choose save, and put it in the correct folder. You may be able to choose File>Move from within Organizer and put the image in the correct folder from there.

            It sounds like you have Organizer associated with jpegs, so that it will open when you double click one. You might want to switch that back to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer: Right click on any jpeg on your hard drive, choose open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, then check the box that says "always use". If you want to open with Organzier you can always right click, choose organzer (without checking "always use"), and then Organizer will open that image that one time.

            Once you have saved the image to a folder, open Organizer and import the image using Get from Files and Folders.

                Karin,
                Good clear explanations. I guess Win.Picture and Fax Viewer is something like Nero Photo Snap Viewer.But I di'nt quite understand why should I choose such a particular program to open with?
                Merci.

                  Win Picture and Fax Viewer is the one that comes with Windows so it is usually the default that people get used to. It doesn't do much so it is fast. It is just what it says it is, a viewer.

                  You can choose any program you like to regularly open your images. It just makes sense to pick one that doesn't take a long time to load before you can view the image.

                  I usually open images from within the program I am going to work on them rather than double clicking on an icon. But sometimes I just want to see what that file is and viewer opens it quickly and easily. I think on my 98 machine jpgs and gifs are set to open with Internet Explorer, which also works well.
