IMHO you made a good camera choice g. Regarding software, no doubt =
you will get many recommendations. I like to use OfotoNow to initially = download pictures to the computer (free from www.ofotonow.com ). To = quickly make thumbnails for emailing I use Easy Thumbnails ( = http://www.fookes.com/ezthumbs/index.php?2.8 ) which is also free. For = color & contrast adjustments, and printing I use MS PictureIT! which I = think is a good program for a "newbie" since many of it's functions are = automated. Good luck and enjoy!

What software came with your camera? Also, Picassa is now free from
Google, and this seems helpful to me. The major issue I ran into with e-mailing was to remember to "shrink" the size of the images to managable proportions, otherwise the recipient, in addition to getting some 1 megabyte files, got ones that wouldn't fit on their screen. That's a start.. |

Thanks, Paul, and Swingman-- appreciate both of your posts. BTW- the
software that came with the camera is hard for me to figure out- even with the manual. Nothing is numbered and I don't think there is order to the photos. Of course, I'm easily confused. Your feedback on this message board is truly helpful to me - so thanks again :-) mtngal On 5 Aug 2004 12:31:10 -0700, (Paul W. Ross) wrote: What software came with your camera?

Hey, you're welcome. Also, I forgot to mention Neat Image
4.0 (free version available at www.neatimage.com ) which is a program for removing noise (graininess) from pictures. The interface took me some time to figure out, but it was worth it as the results are remarkable. There are "before and after" examples on the web site that demonstrate what Neat Image can do.
