IMPORTANT: Differences from Digital Photo Navigator Unlike Digital Photo Navigator, ImageMixer only registers the location of an image file and its thumbnail image in albums. When images are handled by ImageMixer, the original file is affected by the operation. For example, if an image is deleted from an album, the original file is deleted. If a file is moved, ImageMixer loses track of where the file resides. Therefore, file operations should be conducted carefully.
