Additionally, most cameras, camcorders, printers and scanners include basic
browser and/or editing programs. Most are easy to use and allow you to quickly
review photos on your hard drive (as well as download them directly from a digital

photos, set up new folders, group photos into categories and do some simple

program has many of the advanced features found in Adobe Photoshop Elements
and Jasc Paint Shop Pro (discussed below).

For CAP customers, we rarely need to get fancy with editing photos (in fact,
this can be detrimental). If the customer allows or asks and the photos need
