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

Do you know which version of Windows they have? The last editions of Windows, I think since Win-95 have a built-in viewer, while it is not as good as some add-ons it works and is very simple to use. It should appear in the menu that you get asking which program to use. Also, any web browser can be used. There are a lot of freeware viewers, checking Google will find a bunch. Infranview is a very good viewer, I have not used the latest edition, its at: www.irfanview.com For more elaborate manipulation there are some good freeware image editors, for instance Gimp: www.gimp.org This is essentially a freeware version of Photoshop. Many printers come with some sort of image editing software for printing. Adobe offers a freeware photo organizer. Its meant to lead you into buying their more elaborate software but does a good job by itself. www.adobe.com/products/photoshopalbum/starter.html
