This is probably the stupidest question ever but I'm installing WP on my computer as 'local host' and do not understand how to get ZenphotoPress to find my photographs. I've uploaded many of my images to the media libabry in wp.
Am I expected to have uploaded images into ZenPhoto? If so, I can't see how this is done either.
Very confused and would appreciate any guidance.

Well, Wordpress and Zenphoto are both independent CMSs. If you want to manage your images with Zenphoto you of coures have to upload them to/with Zenphoto...

Zenphotopress is a Wordpress plugin to help you to include those images from Zenphoto.

The "gallery url" is the link where Zenphoto is installed. "Gallery" refers to the Zenphoto installation (see our glossary page).
