Default 1941 Chevrolet Portee

I am really thankful over the response from MLU guys

My wife bought me a yew bewt digital camera for Xmas, Unfortunately it needed a drive system that I did not have! e.g. Windows 2000 or Xp I have now got a laptop that is loaded with this but I need one of my mates who is a computer tech to load a drive for the photos. He has been dragging his tail but hopefully I will be able to post some decent photos of the project (and the drunks who assist) when it is running.

Hope to be able to contribute and learn, the info from you guys is brilliant.

PS there is a thing on TV on 24 April (ANZAC DAY) on our newest VC winner.

No doubt a MLU person will source it.

Regards

Rookie

Default Digital Camera Drive

Hi Rookie - depending upon which camera you have, it should have come either with a loading dock or USB cabling. I use software called Adobe Photoshop Elements that is the basic part of Adobe Photoshop, and a fraction of the price. This program is useful for colour, contrast and shrinking image size. If you have USB cabling just plug that into a USB socket. Then through the Open command in the software, access the drive for the camera and download the data into the computer. If you have a loading dock you should have received software to drive it. Set your camera for the highest imagery resolution. Also, if not already fitted to your camera, get yourself a decent capacity memory card.

No worries ,any time Eric
The sanity thing is over rated anyway .lost mine years ago
Like phil has said if you ever get stuck post a picture or description and someone here is bound to be able to place it for you
I am only a newbie too and have been taught a fair amount from watching the threads and asking a lot of questions (still have a heap to learn).
I have found that the majority of the mlu members are extremely helpful and all round good blokes with vast knowledge and experience on whatever MV you would like to work on

good luck with the jigsaw puzzle
