Question
I have downloaded pictures from my mobile phone and camera into Adobe Photoshop in my PC.
How can I now transfer these pics to the 'my pictures' folder in my same PC?

Answer
Hi Stan,

Sorry for the delay.

You'll need to open two windows on your PC and I find it easier to use list or detail view. In one window double click on My computer and then double click on My Pictures to open that folder.

In the second window, navigate to the folder where your pictures currently reside. You may have to perform a search to find them if you don't know where they are. Select all the images you wish to transfer and drag them to the My Pictures window.

If the two folders are on the same drive the pictures will move to the new folder, if not, they will be copied to the new folder and you may wish to go back to the original folder and delete them.

Alternately, you can select the images and go to Edit>Copy. Click on the my pictures window and go to Edit>Paste. Once they are copied, you may wish to delete the originals as well.

For details on your specific system, try going to the help menu and look up "Moving Files"
