I posted this on the photography board, but no responses...so I thought I would try here. I am getting them printed for scrapbooking. I have a flash drive with over 3000 pics on it. I only need about 200 of them. I do not want to download all of these pics on my computer, I am afraid it will fill up whatever, or somehow break my very old computer. It would also take about a year I think. So, I wanted to access the pics via the flash drive, select the ones I want and then put them in a folder. However, when I access the flash drive to look at the pics, they are too little for me to just pick the ones I want. (the ones with DS in them,lol) I have made the "view" the largest icon, and they are still too small. But when I "open" them, and look at them individually, I cannot seem to have the option to move them into a folder. any thoughts? I guess I can just take the whole drive to walgreens ect and get the pics that way. I can't leave them on the flash drive, as i have to erase that and give it back to DH.

I know little to nothing but could you try increasing the font size for your computer to see if that works? My husband had his blown up really big but I don’t know if it worked for pictures.

Download Picassa. It's a free photo editing software. You can use the import function and view them before you actually import them.

Are you using a Mac or a PC? On a PC, if you use the File Explorer and pick extra large icons in View that should be a good sized thumbnail to upload them to your computer.
I'd upload them all to Persnickety Prints. Then you can pick the ones you want to order.
You could also upload them to Amazon Photos or Google Photos for an online backup of all the photos for future reference. Then pick the photos you want to print, download, upload to a service.

If they are in a file on your computer, click on view and select small, medium or large icon. Hold down your Ctrl key, select the delectable ones and drop into your flash drive file.

click on view and select small, medium or large icon. Yeah, that is the problem, the large icon is still too small for me to be able to pick the correct pictures. Thanks though!

Are the photos numbered? You could view them, then jot down the numbers and upload by looking at the file number. It would be tedious.
I had to do that once with photos on grandson's hockey share site.

Thanks though! are you using a Mac or a PC? On a PC if are you viewing the files through File Explorer You can double click on the first photo, this will open it in a new window that you can expand to the size of your monitor if needed. Then you can click the icon on the right to scroll through all the photos. You can hit the + Add button and create an album for printing.

On a Mac, you can click once on any file while in the Desktop or file tree, then press the Space Bar. It'll pop up a preview in a big window. If that's not big enough, drag the bottom right corner to make it as big as you want.
Press Space Bar again to make it go away, or use the arrow keys to navigate to a different picture.
