The process of transferring digital photographs from a Secure Digital (SD) card to a computer involves moving image files from the portable storage medium to the computer’s internal or external drive. This enables users to view, edit, share, and back up their photographs. An example is connecting a camera containing an SD card to a computer via a USB cable to initiate the transfer.
Transferring digital photographs offers several key benefits. It facilitates photo editing through specialized software, allows for secure backup and archival, and enables convenient sharing with others via email, social media, or cloud storage. Historically, this process replaced traditional film development, providing instant access and greater control over photographic images.
