Printing photos from CD, they come with bad software?
I have gone to Walgreens and Kodak, and had my film develped and put
on CD, and the software on the CD seems terrible. I want to be able to print pictures from the CD. What should I do? Is there a film processor that provides good software, mabye even software I can use for the 3 CD's I already have? Walgreens developed the roll backwards, so that the first picture was the last I took, which is ok, but it was upside down, which isn't so bad since there was a button to flip it over, but every picture was upside down of course, and there was no button to flip them all over at once, and every time I load the pictures, I have to flip them all over one at a time. Then I went to the supermarket that used Kodak processing, and the software wouldn't let me print anything unless I copied it to the harddrive first. That seems totally unnecessary. And it keeps trying to transfer the whole CD to the harddrive. It says "You have 15 seconds to stop this" everytime I make any reference to the CD. Plus, when I put the CD in a second time, it tries to install the software again. Doesn't seem to know it's right there on the harddrive. And I do have a second CD from months ago when I was less organaized, and it doesn't know that the software is installed already. Is this because I don't keep software in the default location (which has a blank space in the directory name, which I don't like)? The kodak files are regular .jpg at least. I didn't check on the Walghreens. I hate to buy third party software, when supposedly software was included, but is there a good program? I only want to print occasionally, since I had one or two copies of every picture on the roll printed already. Better yet, is there a film processor that provides good software, mabye even software I can use for the 3 CD's I already have? Thanks If you are inclined to email me for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-) |

Can't you just browse the CD and take your JPGs off it?

I didn't check on the Walghreens. If the software is the only photo editing/printing one on the PC then it may only be a matter of associating .jpg or whatever format with the software, the "Open With" association. You might be able to right click on a .jpg and from the dropdown see "Open With" click this, then it offers you a list of programs, select the software/program you have, and tick the box "Always use this program to open this filetype". |

Thank you. To reply to myself, it also says he * For a limited time, Microsoft® Windows 98 and ME users may download an older version of Picasa. I don't know what they mean by a limited time. I wouldn't expect Google to be MS's enforcer, and I would think they would offer this version as long as there is one person in the world who still can't use the newer version. So I don't know why they would need to say a limited time. But that's what it says. If you are inclined to email me for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-) |

Printing photos from CD, they come with bad software?
Greetings MM,
Film is a blank media until it is exposed. How it is exposed is a function of the camera and its handling. If your pictures are upsidedown and backwards, I suspect that the camera used to exposed the film wound the film into the camera first and then fed the film out as needed. When the film is later scanned to make a Picture CD, the images may appear in an incorrect order due to how the camera managed the film. As you have noted, the images can be easily flipped to correct orientation. As a feature, a display of your pictures is offered when you insert your CD into the CDROM. You can click on the 'Done' at the bottom right of the screen. If you are using other software, just end the display. Also, EasyShare is a cataloging program in that is transfers your images onto your system and then provides all the tools to view, manage, print, and share etc. Early versions of EasyShare did not feature the use or removeable media but that changed with later versions. What I suggest, MM, is to get the latest version of EasyShare from the Kodak web site, and then add your Picture CD. It will ad them as a special feature and include them in your collection. You can then select images, create albums etc. for printing and sharing. If not and you do not want to use the EasyShare software, insert the CD into the CDROM and end the display program at the beginning. Once it has stopped, click on the My Computer icon and look for the CDROM with the CD in it. When you click on it you will see the contents of the CD. in early versions there is a folder called Pictures. You should find your images there listed as JPG files. You can move them to any location you like. I am glad to help further if you have more questions. Talk to you soon, Ron Baird Eastman Kodak Company "mm" wrote in message ...

Milou, I'm afraid that getting people to stop using apostrophes for plurals may be a cause that's lost forever, even though doing so introduces confusion regarding the correct use: for possessives. There are some aspects of our writing that help cloud the issue -- and I even see the venerated New York Times blowing it -- throwing in the towel. I don't have a solution. In railroad publishing, I can offer this illustration: The Pennsylvania Railroad had a locomotive: the K4. They made a revision of the design, and the new class was named the "K4s." Now, how are you going to write about a group of these engines? K4ss,K4Ss, and in desperation, K4s's? They're all stinky, no? So, we have the plural of locomotives, and they all have cowcatchers, right, which we will address as follows: "...the locomotive's cowcatcher's...," instead of "...the locomotives' cowcatchers..." Bah. I'll move to France. The only solution that I use in my own work is to write around the issue -- simply find alternative ways of writing so that I don't get caught up in the confusion; it's not so hard to write this way, actually.
