week 7 helpful hints

importing photos into Photo Story 

I am interested in learning more about moving photos from one place to another.  I thought I was beginning to understand this concept until I began the Photo Story project and could not get the photos that I thought I had saved.  This video is very helpful.  There is only dialogue at the beginning, then there are step by step images and dialogue to explain how to get photos from your files (even more than one at a time!), how to create your storyboard at the bottom and move the thumbnail photos around.  There is a very good explanation of some of the icons and cropping.

  1. Good find Lora. It is clear instructions on how to import photos into Photo Story. While it does show you the help link, I find that I will sometimes get lost in the help windows and that’s not helpful at all! Watching a how to video is a better option in learning something new. I like the fact that we are learning how to find the information to help us when we get stuck.

  2. Lora, I liked your video! Altho I do not have Windows I appreciated the simplicity of the explanations of how to set the story up: cropping the pics, moving them about, etc. Mac has similar approaches but it is always great to learn about the pc approach. Thanks.
