After images have been made with a digital camera the next step is to transfer pictures to a computer for processing and permanent storage. While most digital cameras include an own customized software for image transfer, features of such software differ significantly and often the software is not available for all operating systems.
Photo Album Helper supports most common steps of image transfer from digital cameras for this reason and can be used similarly over all computer operating systems. The process supported by Photo Album Helper is
to copy images from storage media of the digital camera to an arbitrary computer storage location
optional renaming of images to a unique naming convention during transfers
optional creation of subdirectories in a given incoming directory
optional backup during transfers
optional deletion of source files during transfer
The advantage of using Photo Album Helper for the transfer process is that it can do all tasks in a single consistent step while supporting a unique storage structure and automating to the maximum.
