Getting those images off your camera

I get alot of people asking me what is the best way to get their images off the camera and onto their computer. Taking a photo with a digital camera is the easy part. You have then can either transfer the images to the computer via a cable that comes with your camera or take out the memory card and insert it into a memory card reader that then plugs into your computer.

You can purchase a memory card reader at Best Buy, Walmart or any other office or electronics store for around $25.00 give or take. I personally like to use a memory card reader instead of plugging my camera into the computer via a cord as it can drain the camera's battery down by transferring all of your photos. When you plug in your card reader, most computers will automatically open the card reader folder to display your images. I then select all of the images copy and then paste them into a new folder in My Pictures folder. After that, I create a duplicate folder that I then delete unwanted photos and also color correct and edit them. Once I return the memory card back into the camera, I can then delete all of the images by reformatting the memory card and I'm ready to start taking pictures again.
