ok first we need to decide whether or not you have a storage card in your device. Your photo files may be saved on your device or your storage card. Im assuming that since your not sure of how to find them, they are on your device otherwise you would know where your photos are and would have specified that they be stored on the card(micro storage card)
Secondly, to find your photos, use file explorer found in your Start menu. Start from the beginning, click on the arrow flowing the word "Device or Storage Card" at the top of the file explorer. Select the first option for My Device at the top. You will be directed to the beginning of your My Device’s folder. Now your photos are probably preset to be in My Device>My Documents>My Pictures (basically your looking for my pictures folder).
last thing to consider is for back up, and safety purposes of your photos you might want to consider storing them on your storage card.
How to: Create a new folder on your storage card and name it something that you will know its your photo folder on your storage card. IE; DCIM, My pics2, pics back up, My Pictures2.
Once you have created this new folder copy/move all, or some pics to that folder.
Now leave file explorer and go to the regular Touch Flo Photo Tab. Hit the Albums soft key at the bottom> Select Albums again and from there find the name of your New Album you created and select> Finaly hit the Menu soft key and select the "SET ALBUM AS FAVORITE" option.
Now every shot you take on your device will be stored on your card. if you flash you device or need to restore it to factory settings or wipe it your documents will be saved.
Additionally your device has the option to sync through Active Sync or to be recognized as a Disk Drive Storage Device after you connect it via the cable to your computer. Either way one will allow you to search through your computer (on a bigger screen) to rearrange and organize your files better. you can select all and move them into a desired folder quickly and easily all from your computer. This can also be accomplished through your phone/device but I just find it simpler to view and handle through your pc/computer.
Hope this helps.
