4.    Click on “My Documents” then double click on “My Pictures”.  A new screen appears.
5.    Double click on the Folder, “My Family”.
6.    In the “File Name” box, give this photo a name.  Every name must be different.  You may use John 1, John 2, John 3, etc.
7.    Click on the down arrow in the “Format” box and choose the desired file format, usually “JPEG” or “TIFF”.
8.    Over to the right click on “Save”.
9.    In the new screen that appears click on “OK”.
It’s done, you have saved a photo in your new folder.
