The main menu is visible on all pages except the sign in page. By selecting entities in this menu, you can open any PhotosDirect function available at your point of use. Several of the entries are duplicates of selections that can be made elsewhere on the PhotosDirect site, but all functions are available at the main menu, some enabled and some disabled depending on your use at the time.
Process
The Process menu contains options for the various steps for capturing and processing images in an ongoing photo collection.
New Photo Collection
You don't normally need to use this menu option as a new photo collection is launched when you open PhotosDirect, but it can be used if you want to share your photos among multiple photo collections. Note that the photo collections are deleted after a certain amount of time, depending on user status. Users who are signed in or not signed in, or a paid subscriber, all have different durations for saving a photo collection.
Current Photo Collection
This menu option easily returns you to your ongoing or opened photo collection if you're on a page that doesn't display your photo collection.
Stop Collecting from Mobile
Using this menu item, you stop transferring photos to your computer. Please note that ongoing transfers are not always interrupted. All photos do not always appear in the previews of the stopped collection, but will appear when the collection is opened from My Photo Collections in the View menu or when the page refreshes.
Edit Photos in Collection
This menu item opens the editing section. You can crop, rotate, delete and change the file name of each image.
Download the Photos in the Collection
This menu option opens the Downloads section on the main page where you can combine and save all or some of the images in your collection into a ZIP file. You can also give your collection a description and permanently delete selected images.
View
The View menu has a few entries linking to various pages.

My Photo Collections
The My Photo Collections page displays all available photo collections with options to open, download, or view. If you select Gelleri, the collection opens in the gallery. The options are accessible via buttons that are visible when you hover over each line. Records show the date and time when the collection was started and last modified, information about the mobile device from which it was collected, the number of photos in the collection, and the time to expiration of the collection. When the collection expires, the collection and all photos are automatically deleted by the system. An opened collection will be indicated by a solid green frame. This will be the current photo collection, and all PhotosDirect features used will be applied to this collection.
The Refresh the list button at the bottom of the page updates the list, which can be useful seeing the status of received photos in an ongoing collection.
