Where to Find Cataloged Pictures
Pictures copied using the Import Assistant are automatically cataloged and stored in folder selected in “Transfer Destination” tab of “Transfer Options” dialog. The default setting is the “PictureProject” folder in the “My Documents\My Pictures” or “My Documents” folder (Windows) or the “User/(user name)/Pictures/PictureProject” folder on the start-up disk (Macintosh).

Viewing Discs Created in PictureProject 1.5 or Later
Discs created with PictureProject 1.5 or later are cataloged automatically when inserted in a CD or DVD drive.

Cataloged Pictures
Pictures that have been deleted, moved, or renamed in Windows Explorer or the Finder after they have been cataloged are displayed with a “?” icon in the picture list and can no longer be viewed in PictureProject. To recatalog pictures that have been moved or renamed or remove deleted pictures from the picture list, double-click the “?” icon.

The Import Assistant
The Import Assistant can be also used to catalog pictures on the computer hard disk.
