How to Move Pics From the Photo Gallery

Your computer allows you to create and edit folders full of photos.

Using a PC gives you the ability to create photo galleries with the simple click of a button. You simply create a folder in the directory of your choice, and dump relevant photos into it. Once you create a gallery, you can view the photos as a slideshow or as individual pictures. If you want to move photos around between galleries, the process is fairly straightforward and can be learned by computer novices.

Instructions

1. Double-click on the photo gallery of your choice. It helps to give them specific names so that you have an idea what type of photos will be included. (Example: John's Baseball Game, Miami Vacation and so on.)

2. Scroll until you find the picture or pictures you'd like to move to another gallery.

3. Right-click on the picture if you're trying to cut and paste a single photo. If you wish to select multiple photos, click on white space within the folder and hold the button down, then drag the mouse until each photo you wish to move is highlighted.

4. Right-click in the screen again and scroll down to "Cut." Your pictures will disappear from the gallery.

5. Comb through your directories and find the gallery to which you'd like to move the photos.

6. Right-click on the folder of your choice, scroll down and click "Paste."
