Importing Photos from Your Camera or Card Reader

I love taking photographs. Working with my camera and accessories to capture a moment is one of my most fulfilling experiences. But what have I really done up to that point? I have captured the image on a memory card and probably looked at it on the camera’s LCD screen. There’s not a lot else you can do with an image while it sits in your camera, so importing it into your computer is the next logical step.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom allows you to perform this process either by connecting your camera to the computer or by removing the card from the camera and using a connected card reader. Let’s start importing pictures from your camera. To do this, you’ll need a USB cable, which most likely was included with your camera when you bought it.
