So I want to develop a few of my pictures taken by a digital camera.
I have deleted the pictures from my camera, but the files are on my computer, still.
I heard that you need the files back on your memory card to develop the pictures
so how do I do that? And I don’t want ALL the pictures on my memory card developed –
just the ones I choose. Thanks !
The easiest and best method to transfer photos and video from your camera to your computer is via a little USB card reader (which are very cheap these days and widely available).
Card readers also work for moving photos from the computer onto a card.
Plug the reader into a USB port and insert the memory card.
It will show up as a drive, and you can simply drag and drop the photos across to the folder of your choice.

So yes, you can move photos onto the card, but don’t expect to view them on your camera. The downloading itself (and even more so any changes you might have made to the file) changes something in the file. As a result, many cameras no longer recognize it. Besides, memory cards aren’t meant for permanent storage, and there are MANY better ways to display photos than on your tiny screen.
But it can come in handy if you just want to transfer a few photos onto the card so you can get them printed.
P.S. You get film developed, not digital files. Those ones get PRINTED.
