Software question on Kodak EasyShare C340...

[Anonymous]

I just bought this camera. It's a 5 megapixel camera. I've taken a few pictures already, and like what I see, so far. I obviously have to work with lighting and exposure, but I'm not that worried about that yet.

I've installed the software that came with the camera onto my computer. I've been able to access the images using the EasyShare software, but, for the life of me, can't figure out how to open the captured images on any other program, like the image editor I normally use. I've tried changing the default transfer path to transfer the images to a folder I normally use for new images, but it's still transfering the images into the EasyShare software.

I'm thinking I may need to uninstall the EasyShare software and just use Windows Explorer to drag the images off the camera and onto my computer through the USB port. Does anyone have an idea that can help me?

I was able to change the destination folder when I ripped the images from the camera. I just didn't take any new pictures after I did that until a few minutes ago.

I really didn't have an answer for you without me personally getting hands on with your computer.

with this camera and software. Personally, I don't like bundled software with cameras. I prefer to just drap or rip the image files off the camera onto the computer, and use some third-party software to edit/crop/rotate/resize the image. Now, I think I HAVE to use the software to move the image from the camera at this point in time, as I haven't purchased a SD or MMC card for it. However, once I get a card, and hopefully this weekend, a laptop with card reader, I can do pretty much what I was doing with my old Mavica, pulling the removable media out and reading it in the pc.

Like I mentioned, I've now got the software set to transfer files into a folder of my choice, so I can open the images with the software of my choice. Now I need to learn what I need to do to resize/adjust images from the camera to something that won't take a year and a day for someone on dialup to download. I'm currently using Paintshop Pro v5.0. I know it's an ancient program, but, I've been using it for years, and pretty much what to do. I might have to get irfanview, though, as these 5.0 megapixel images are HUGE!
