I got a new laptop a couple of weeks ago with the ummmm *** Windows 7 on it and am really struggling.
With my old laptop and XP, I used the Nikon Viewer to transfer all my pictures, view them, could do minor edits like cropping and VERY easily copy and re-size a picture (this was done from a right click menu - simples).
Unfortunately, this program does not run on Windows 7. OK I thought, now I've got an Olympus camera I'll try their program. But the hoops I seem to be going through to even find how to re-size the image (and I don't know if that's making a copy or if I have to make a copy first and re-size that) then I seem to need to do something else to re-name it.
Surely I'm missing something. Is there someone out there who can talk me through these basic processes:
Copy and re-size (when the picture doesn't need anything else doing, just uploading to a thread or the Gallery).
Copy an image, crop it, re-size and re-name.
I've been messing about for ages and now don't know what I did to get a copy and re-name one of the pictures and the thought of going through all that again, is making me pull my hair out.
I tried the supplied Windows Live Photo Gallery but there's not a quick way there either, and the hoops I had to go through to get my pictures from the C: drive to the External F: drive was a bit of a nightmare too.
