Complete beginner, how to save the image

FirstName LastName

I have a whole heap of CD cover JPEG pictures which were taken with a digital camera, and as a result each and every one of them is out of square.

My grandson has lent me his laptop while he's away for the Easter holiday, and assures me that using the Keystone feature will solve my problems.  But he didn't tell me how to import or save the images.

I solved the import by right-clicking the file in Explorer and selecting [Open With] and then navigating to my USB stick; it took more than a few seconds and I thought that it had failed but finally the picture opened up.  I'm sure thatt here's an easier way of opening a JPEG :)

With the help of a YouTube video I worked out how to use the Keystone feature and am amazed not to say ecstatic at the result.

But I have no idea how to save the result.  Normally I would select  File >>  Save as  but that option isn't present, and I've resorted to taking a screengrab and importing that into MS Paint - so at least I got a result.

But now I can't rid myself of the file in C-One.  If I close the program it's right back there when I reopen the program - and I hesitate to do too much since it's not my computer nor my program.

Guidance please for an absolute beginner who has the program until Tuesday.

  you might want to check out the Learning Hub... but essentially what you want is the 'Export' function.

  You've likely brought your jpg into the Catalog. You can delete it from the catalog, but why not simply 'Import' all of your pics, do what you need to do and export them when done, then simply send all of your unwanted pics to the Trash where you can delete them permanently from the catalog.

  My advice is to export your photos as Arthur said but don't delete anything, your grandson should be able to figure out easily what do to and how to clean up. There is a risk you delete something unwanted if you're not familiar with it.

  Or even wait for your grandson with the export, if you don't need it now.
