Question QUESTION: i just downloaded all my pictures onto a computer taken from a kodak digital camera. how do i get rid of some of them that i want out of the collection.thank you
ANSWER: I would have to know the software you are using to instruct you how to delete it from the album.
In general, however, if you select the photo with the mouse and hit the delete key, you should first get a warning "Are you sure" and then answer yes.
Another possible way is to note the name of the file (usually captioned under the photo) and use Windows Explorer to find the file and delete it.
Also, Windows Explorer can display thumbnails by selecting that option from the Views menu button. And you can view, select and delete it from the Windows folder.

Answer From Kodak's Manual:
Removing and Deleting Pictures
You can remove pictures from My Collection with or without deleting them from your hard drive.
Removing Pictures from a Collection
Removing a picture from a collection does not delete it from the hard drive. It only removes the link to the picture from the collection.
1. In My Collection, select one picture.
2. Choose File > Remove from Collection.
The picture is removed from the collection.
Deleting Pictures from a Collection
Deleting a picture removes it from both a collection and from the hard drive. The picture is permanently removed.
1. In My Collection, select one picture.
2. Choose File > Move to Trash.
3. Click Yes to acknowledge that you want to move the picture file to the Trash.
NOTE: The picture is moved into the Trash. It is still possible to recover a picture from the Trash until you empty the Trash. After emptying the Trash, you cannot recover the picture; it is permanently deleted.
=================================================
Removing Pictures from an Album
If you accidentally put a picture in an album where it shouldn’t be or just want to eliminate a picture from that album, you can remove the picture from the album without deleting if from the collection.
1. Select the picture(s) you want to delete.
Each selected picture has a yellow border.
2. Choose File > Remove from Album.
The picture is removed from the album, but not from your collection.
Deleting an Album
You can remove an album from the View list box in My Collection. When you remove an album, the pictures are not removed from your collection.
1. Click on the album in the My Collection task workspace.
The album name is highlighted and its contents appear on the right side of the window.
2. Select File > Remove Album.
If the album has no pictures in it, the album is deleted; if the album has pictures in it, a dialog box appears.
3. Click Remove Album.
Although the album is removed, the pictures in this album remain in your collection.
