Hi Karen, When you start Print Shop for the first time after it is installed, it will ask you if you want to import your own personal pictures into the Art Gallery. If you say NO, none of the pictures will be imported into the Art Gallery. If you say YES, all of the pictures will be imported into the Art Gallery. But, these pictures will be imported only into the My Art & Photos tab of the Art Gallery. You should be able to remove any picture from the My Art & Photos tab of the Art Gallery by right clicking on the picture then selecting Delete from the menu that drops down. But, that will work only if the picture file is still in the same folder where it was when the picture was imported into the My Art & Photos tab of the Art Gallery. There is only one way that I know of to quickly remove all of the pictures from the My Art & Photos tab of the Art Gallery. This is done by rebuilding the Art Gallery index files, as is described in this Broderbund Technical Note Cannot Initialize Your Own Art or Projects Collection Even though that Technical Note refers to deleting corrupt files as the result of a specific error message, the Art Gallery index files must be deleted before they can be rebuilt. After you follow the "Rebuilding the Art Gallery Index Files" steps in that Technical Note, then launch Print Shop, you'll want to be sure to say NO when you are asked if you want to import the pictures. If you have been trying to delete the pictures in the All Art & Photos tab of the Art Gallery, it can't be done because those are the pictures that came with Print Shop. And, those pictures are all permanently built into the All Art & Photos tab of the Art Gallery. I'm not sure what to tell you about your importing problem other than that you must click on the My Art & Photos tab in the Art Gallery before you can import pictures; because pictures can be imported only into the My Art & Photos tab of the Art Gallery. If you click on either the All Art & Photos tab or on the More Art & Photos tab on the Art Gallery, the Import option in the File menu will always be greyed out.
