Unlike the prints in your old shoebox, digital photos never fade or become disordered. And it is great to have instant access to dozens of snapshots on your computer. But there is a cost to your shutter-happiness: Digital pictures use more of your computer’s memory than other files might. Windows XP makes backing up your favorite photos as easy as viewing them in the first place. A wizard guides you through the process of storing pictures on a CD. Using a CD frees up space on your computer. To make use of this feature, you’ll need:
- A recordable CD drive.
- A blank CD onto which you can transfer your photos.
Some stores refer to recordable CDs as CDRs. Make sure you purchase recordable CDs that will work with your computer.
Give your right brain a chance. Once you’ve sampled the basics of digital photography, you’ll be hungry to explore additional possibilities. Windows XP includes Paint, which lets you crop, resize, and touch up your digital photos with ease. Or, why not get creative with special image-editing software that provides even more editing capabilities. With programs like Microsoft Picture It!, you can enhance your personal photos and then turn them into greeting cards, calendars, and more. Visit the MSN Picture It! community for more ideas.
Yet another option are business-oriented programs such as Microsoft Publisher, which enable you to create professional-looking marketing materials and other publications incorporating your photos.
