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.
