  1. Make sure that the scanning software that came with your printer/scanner is properly installed.
  2. If you have a flatbed scanner, place the photo on the lower right hand corner of the glass scanning bed. If your printer/scanner has only a conventional paper feed then carefully tape the lead edge of your photo to the center of a letter size sheet of paper and insert it into the same place you would to copy.
  3. Scan the photo onto your computer and save it in 'My Documents' or 'My Photos'.
  4. You now have a digital photo on your computer.
  5. Return to the Add/Edit photos page and follow the directions to add a photo.
