This
section will focus on viewing your pictures on a computer's monitor
and the basics of file management regarding your digital image
files.
Viewing
on a Computer
-
Remove
the disk from the camera. It is best to turn camera
off before removing, however, it is not necessary as long
as it is not "writing" to disk.
-
Place
the disk in your computer's floppy disk drive.
-
For
a quick full size view of your digital images, using your
Internet browser, follow these steps:
|
1.
Open/Start you Internet browser (Netscape, Internet Explorer,
etc.)
|
|
2.
Go to the File pull-down menu and select "Open File" or
"Open Page".
|
|
|
|
3. Select "Choose File".
|
|
|
|
4. Browse or "navigate" to your A: drive.
|
|
|
|
5. At the bottom of the "Open" window you will see
"Files of type". Click on the black triangle to
the right of this location to get a drop-down menu.
|
|
|
|
6. Select "All Files" and return to the "Open" window.
The window should now appear similar to this, depending
on how many images you have on that disk.
|
|
|
|
7. Select ("highlight") the image file you would
like to view. It will be named Mvc-xxxs.jpg or Mvc-xxxf.jpg
where "xxx" = the number of the picture on the disk and
"s" = standard quality and "f" = fine quality. Just
ignore or delete the .411 files that you see. They
will not be used.
|
|
8. Double-click (or select and click "Open") the
file you wish to view.
|
|
|
|
9. Your browser should now open the photo for you
to view and/or print. (You may see the screen below
first, depending on your browser. If so, just click
"Open" to complete the process.)

Notable Notes......
If you have access
to "image" editing software, you will find it easier to
view your image files. Some common image editors would include:
Adobe PhotoShop and Microsoft Photo Editor
- Also,
this is where you can make changes (edit) your image.
Such as: changing its size, rotating the image,
cropping, enhancing color and clarity, apply a special
effect, or convert the file format to ready the image
for the use you intend, etc.
- Most image
editing software also provides a way to view all of
your image files at one time, in a thumbnail size, making
it easier to identify those you wish to see, edit, or
print!
- Every
PISD workstation has a basic editing tool called Microsoft Photo Manager and ImageBlender.
- A more
powerful application you can use for this type of work
is called Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Fireworks
