A photographer’s work is hardly over at the end of the shoot. On the contrary, you need to sort, edit, and maybe also share and send the pictures. But even before all that, you need to get them off the camera onto your computer. There are several ways to get photos onto your computer. For example, you can copy them by hand. But much more elegant and efficient is to import them using Zoner Photo Studio.

Organizing of your photos takes you minutes - and saves hours. Let’s look how you can do it.

Keyword-tag your photos, and searches like these become a question of seconds.
