Julliët, thank you very much for the information. I checked the PhotoFiltre site the other day and didn’t find a download for this version. I just checked now, and you are absolutely correct. Downloading it now. Thanks again!

That's not true Gail, I really mean PhotoFiltre 7, it's free.PhotoFiltre 7 is a complete image retouching program. It allows you to do simple or advanced adjustments to an image and apply a vast range of filters on it. It is simple and intuitive to use, and has an easy learning curve. The toolbar, giving you access to the standard filters with just a few clicks, gives PhotoFiltre 7 a robust look. PhotoFiltre 7 also has layer manager (with Alpha channel), advanced brushes, batch module and lot of other powerful tools.

Julliët, thanks so much for the info. The version you mention is PhotoFiltre Studio, which is not free except for a 30 day trial. The free version is here. You may find this introduction to layers article helpful.

PhotoFiltre, mentioned above, does have layer options too.
New version 7 just came out. I’m not much experienced with these kind of programs yet, but it did what I wanted to do: create icons from jpg/png files with transparent background… Also the option of installing your own language file and lots of plugins makes this program not bad at all.

Portable version available!

I recently moved a friends photos from a Mac to a PC. I tired to copy them to an external hard drive but the Mac would not recognize it. So I ended up burning the images to a DVD. A good and easy program to use to organize and edit your photos on the PC is Picasa. It's free software by Google.

Has anyone any experience in moving an iPhoto library on a Mac over to a PC? I would like to preserve the titles, keywords, and descriptions. Can anyone suggest a software package or a work-around?

ZoomBrowser EX is the software that comes with Canon cameras, including the s90 and s95. It can also be used to transfer images onto a SD card. When you open ZoomBrowser there is a Tasks panel on the left-hand side of the screen.

Brian, Some recommend simply dragging the images from your computer directly to the card that you place in a computers memory slot.Personally, because you're using the files from a different manufacturer, I'd try a different route.You should be able to use ZoomBrowser to transfer jpegs from the Samsung to the computer.ZoomBrowser EX is the software that comes with the s90 and s95. It can also be used to transfer images onto a SD card. When you open ZoomBrowser there is a Tasks panel on the left-hand side of the screen. Click on Acquire and Camera Settings, select the images you wish to transfer, and then click Transfer Images to Memory card.Try with one or two images first to see if it works. If not, try changing the filenames to the naming convention used by Canon: IMG_0123.JPG. If that works, you'll need to batch rename images. A program such as the free, FastStone Photo Resizer can quickly rename photos. As with any form of editing, work on copies of your originals.Enjoy your s90. The s90 and s95 produce wonderful image quality. I own the s90 and have written about it here.

Hi. I have a SAMSUNG P1000. I have just been given an S90 by my son who is upgrading to the S95. I have app 600 photos on the SD card (taken with the SAMSUNG) which I want to transfer to the SD card of my S90 and be able to view them on the S90. How can I do this? Do I need special software?

HELP!
