[rollei_list] Re: OT: Viewing photos on Windows

Hi Elias,
For a PC running Microsoft Windows my recommendation for viewing is IrfanView. It is very fast and offers some limited editing options - probably enough for your parent's purposes. It is a free download. If you are looking for something more like iPhoto (a digital shoebox to store and organize many photos) Google's Picasa is free and really rather good, although Adobe Photoshop Elements also has its fans. I have not personally used the Windows version of Photoshop Elements. Bear in mind that all of these recommendations are coming from a "cold, dead fingers" Mac user who has the misfortune of having to support Microsoft Windows users as a large part of his job responsibility. 

Best wishes,
Aaron

I know a lot of you are Windows users. It's been a long time since I've touched on. I'm trying to help my parents view pics they took on their digital camera. They plug the thing in, and prompt comes up asking what they want to view the photos with... I'm always amazed at how clean, snappy, and user friendly PCs are. On my mac iPhoto pops up to take care of everything right away. What's the equivalent on the PC? How do I direct a 70 & 83 year old to find it? 

Thanks,

Elias
