# Copying JPG files from a USB drive into your keeper-pics folder

1. Connect your USB drive to a JAMS Lab or CCL Mac.
2. On the Desktop, your USB drive will appear as an attached device (on right). Double-click your USB drive to open it.
3. In the USB drive's Finder window, navigate to the folder that contains the JPG files you'd like to use in your project.
   * If the folder contains JPG files and other file formats (MOV, DOCX, etc.), press `Command` (on keyboard) and select only the JPG files.
   * If the folder contains only JPG files, press `Command` + `A` (on keyboard) to select all of the JPG files.
4. With all of the JPG files selected, press `Control` (on keyboard) and click within the selected area. In the fly-out menu that appears, select `Open With` and choose `Preview`.
5. If necessary, open another Finder window and navigate to your keeper-pics folder.
6. In Preview, select the thumbnails (left panel) of the JPG files you'd like to use in your project. Press the `Command` key (on keyboard) to select multiple thumbnails.
7. Click and drag the selected thumbnails into your keeper-pics folder.
8. When finished, eject your USB drive and remove it from the back of the Mac.
