Phillip Robinson says to forget the software that came with your digital camera, because other free tools [are] better than your digital camera software. Specifically, he shows you how to use nothing but good old Windows XP to move photos from your camera into the computer, see photos, make a slide show and print, and organize and improve images.
Also, some free programs allow you to organize, edit, crop, or remove red-eye from your photos. His best choice for beginner and intermediate photo editing is Google Picasa. For advanced photo editing, he recommends you forsake Photoshop and download the "just-as-powerful-but-entirely-free"GIMP.
