I need to keep photos on my camera after downloading to Windows Photo Gallery. But each time I download, all previous photos are automatically downloaded to my computer file. How do I limit the download by date? Thanks.

hello and welcome 
do you have AutoPlay turned on?
go to control panel > AutoPlay, put a check in the box "use AutoPlay for all media and devices"...
now when you plug in your camera it will give you options....
you want to choose (something like) "open device to view files" (you can also put a check in that box to "always do this for this device")...
choose "removable storage" > DCIM folder > then the next folder (the name of your camera may be there)
then you choose witch pictures to import.....good luck.. I just create a new folder, name it and drag and drop the pictures I want...
your camera and software may be a hair different, but basically the same..you may have to experiment...good luck

Don't know what kind of camera or software you have, but on my Kodak digital (which uses Kodak Easy Share) there are options and preference settings with every download, and one can make a number of customizations as to which images get downloaded, and which don't. Check and see if you have similar options with your downloading program. Also, I usually download to HP Photo and Imaging Gallery which also offers similar options.

If there's one place where Options and Check boxes are liberally available, it's in the processes for downloading photos from your camera. I agree with the other two Forum Members who have replied so far, and just add that you need to set up exactly what you want to do with regards to the photos you want to download, where you want them to go, and what software you want to use to open and edit the files with.
You can also select which of the files you want to download each and every time you do a download, and most important of all, you have the option to either save or delete the files that you have downloaded, on your Camera Memory Card [Check box].
Just slow down, read all the options available to you, and select the paths you wish to take. Even some options, have further options - it's all your choice.
Finally, give feedback to let it be known just how you get on.
