No, I can't. I really can't. Already took my fine art, and my school won't let me in since I have anyway. I don't need it. I already learned from the best there are out there!

But no, I think, if you have Windows, it's just a plug-and-play setup, and (on my comp at least) it pops up with a window giving you a choice. Choose the one that says something like "View With Microsoft Windows Picture and Fax Viewer" and save each individual photo, but what's easier is if you plug your camera into USB, close that window that I just mentioned, and instead go to My Computer>(your USB drive, which will probably be replaced by the name of the camera), and double click that. You can select all of the pictues, then after saving all of them into their own folder (I recommend having one already set up and open in a separate window. My Pictures works, too), you can delete the ones you don't want.

Thanks, TB and Nurv also, for your informative information.

"informative information"

Hmm, so I uploaded some of the pics I took in Bulgaria, in 2004. In Nesebar, actually - at least these ones. Not the best quality - they weren't that good originally, and they are actual pics, scanned; I didn't have my digital camera then. Anyway, here they go -

Aw, how I loved to be there. Even though half the week it was raining, and I was sick, and.... aaw, I loved it anyway.

[Grey_Wolf]

Neat pics, LA.

Nice, LA Love the first one in particular....but from all of them, the whole place looks like it has so much character!

[littleadanel]

Thanks Yes, it's a beautiful place - just a small island (or peninsula? well, actually it is connected to the land, but only by a narrow thing scarcely enough for the road built upon it). Wherever you turn, after a couple of minutes' walk through these narrow streets the sea is right in front of you. Beautiful.

Nesebar looks exactly like I'd expect an eastern European town at the sea to look like. Seems like an idyllic little place

[Nurvingiel]

Those were really neat pictures littleadanel! What a gorgeous place.

[Lotesse]

Those are pretty shots, littleadanel. Thanks! Is this a town on the Black Sea? I asked my boyfriend about this spot and he says it's on the Black Sea. Wish I could go explore there someday...

[littleadanel]

Thanks. I chose my best ones to show here

Yes, it's on the Black Sea. I spent a week there in the summer of '04, with my family - my parents wanted to take my bro & me where they were, exactly 20 years earlier, on their honeymoon. We were in Varna, and on the last day went to Nesebar. I loved to be there.

Agreed. I get that typical, old, East European flavour.

[Grey_Wolf]

First of all I want to thank you mooters for tipping me off on the easy way to access my pictures from the digital camera.

IT WORKED!!! I just connected the camera's cable to my usb-cable and voila! here there are!

Easy to get at!

Thanks again.

What program do you put your digital pictures on, when you load them off the camera into your computer via that USB cable? I use Zoombrowser. They have Adobe Photoshop, and all kinds of programs, but I think I prefer the Zoombrowser.

It shows the pics via the window's viewing program since ive just clicked on the pics in the folder on the camera and it popped up.

The next step is to transfer the pics to the computor.

I do have the HP Director's fairly mediocre image handling program which i got from the printer's CD and then i have Paint.

You are gonna have so much fun playing with your new dig photos, Grey Wolf! The first time I started plugging in my camera and loading up my digital pictures, you could never tear me away from my camera and computer! Yeah, I'm a tad obsessive, but anyway. You're gonna have so much fun!

[Grey_Wolf]

Indeed im looking forward taking better photos than im doing now. Being a beginner theyre not so good.

And ur right I AM GONNA HAVE FUN.

[Grey_Wolf]

Here is one example of my first ones...

[Nurvingiel]

Oh beautiful!! Look at those windswept trees! Those are Scots pine in the foreground right?

I love it GW.

edit: What do you mean you're no good? That's a great picture!

Just because you've only just started taking pictures doesn't mean you're rubbish at it. Because obviously you are not rubbish at photography.

[Lotesse]

I second that, Nurvi. Nice picture, GW! Do you take the photos in Small or Medium mode, or do you take them Large and then resize them with an external editor before uploading them to show us? I have this habit of taking all my digital photos in Extra Super Mega Large, and then in order to show them to you guys I have to resize them externally before ImageShack will have anything to do with them. That's why I haven't had an awful lot of potos to show you guys yet; my trial of Picture Exe has expired so now I have no external image resizing program.
