Are you baffled by digital cameras, confused as to how you get the pictures from the camera to your computer, not sure what to do with the photos you've managed to get on to your PC / Mac / iPad? Do you want to rotate, name, organise, archive, backup, share and print your images? Maybe you'd like to start editing your photos, for example, make them black and white, crop them, change the colour and contrast, add some writing?
