Pictures in Photo Gallery or 'Pictures'

17 years ago

My OS is Vista Home Premium. When I import pictures from my camera they go into Photo Gallery. I don't know how, but I'm able to get some of them into my Pictures folder. I am wanting to download a picture or video to Photobucket but I can't find the pictures in Photo Gallery, just in Pictures folder. How can I get them accessible to add to Photo bucket?

The Photo Gallery is just a viewing tool. All of the pictures are in your Pictures folder, unless you specifically put them in another folder. If you see something in the Gallery that you can't find in Pictures...you probably haven't looked hard enough. Sounds like you need to spend some time organizing your pics/folders so you know what is stored where. After that, it should be easy enough to select the proper folder and UPLOAD your pics to Photobucket. It also sounds like you need a proper imageviewer so you can look at the contents of any folder quickly. I'd suggest Irfanview.

when in photobucket using the upload option you can select to upload from a folder on your computer, open the browse box and navigate to the pictures folder on your pc then select the picture you want and click the button to select it. you should then see it uploading to photobucket.

Hi Oceanna, I am sure there are more than just the posters, the lurkers too, who soooo appreciate the time you take to post to the gallery. Before my computer stopped allowing me to see the gallery pics, I always went straight to those when in need of a new idea or inspiration. Like you, I'd go browse hours if I was in need of something different on my fireplace mantel or a different look for my coffee table. I was always able to find something in the gallery as opposed to my decor mags that are now filled with nothing but ads and very little detail decor. "Who's holding back on a stash of their own?" I emailed you when I was no longer able to get into the gallery to view pics or to post them. Although they are not a stash of my own home, the link I sent you had pics that could be interesting to some who are into different painting techniques. Don't know if you ever checked that email addy of yours but I was trying to contribute, honest, really I was! *s* Can't contribute with my own pics because there is not a single room in my home that is completed. Working on it daily but have a long way to go.

I love gallery walls altho the only one I have at present has only land and seascape oils, most are framed with gold tone frames altho some are unframed - a pic won't help you and it's difficult to get a good pic as it's on my stairway wall. I think what you want to do *can* be done successfully and the key is balance. This gallery wall at Pottery Barn has several types of frames and content but it's well balanced. You have to click thru a few pics in the slideshow at the link posted below to get to the gallery wall pic. Have you laid all your art on the floor and played around with it to see how it might work? That's what I've always done. If you are the type of person who requires complete symmetry this might not work for you but well balanced asymmetrical galleries can be wonderful.

When you have your Photo Gallery open, also open 'Your Pics' and open the album you want to upload them to.
Drag the pic from the Gallery, and drop it into the folder in My Pics.

Be sure to then Close My Pics, and open Photobucket.

Then when you go to upload from Photobucket, you will find the pic is in My Pics and will upload fine.

Azinoh, yes, I have a mess. I guess when I opt to download pics from my camera in has been automatically putting them in the Photo Gallery and they are not easily accessible when I want to pull a pic from Pictures. I don't know how to get them organized. I guess this means I have duplicates on my hard drive too?

Windows photo gallery has some very nice features. Learning to use them properly will make organizing your pictures much easier and you should not end up with duplicates on your computer.
