Hi Chuck,
I use the camera on the phone only when I have no other camera with me, and
find a situation that calls for a photo. This phone came with a tiny card
reader for the memory card inside the phone. I set the phone up to save
images to the card, rather than to the phone memory. I then remove the
card, place it in the reader, and plug it into a USB port. My Adobe
software recognizes it just like a camera input, and I load the images into
a folder in my filing system. I then open them in PSE and go from there.
My last phone used a USB cable from the phone "Mass Storage" function to the
computer. I tried that on the new one and couldn't make it work. But the
card reader works like a charm.
Hope this helps.
