Help and Advice / Photo editoring

« on: September 09, 2023, 02:35:30 PM »

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good "free" photo editing software?
I have just had a new hard disc fitted in my desktop and reloaded from my backup disc but the software programs apparently are not part of the backup  (first time I've ever reloaded from a backup.). My old photoshop which came with the computer now has a yearly subscription charge.
My camera produces GPEG images.

All other software programs have been sourced from my discs or online.

Cheers
Bob in the UK

« on: October 16, 2022, 01:54:58 PM »

Why are Lithuanian naval ships prefixed on here as LTS and not LNS?
Google the navy and prefix is either LNS (Lithuanian Ship (NATO designation)) or LKL (Lietuvos Karinis Laivas (Lithuanian Military Ship))

Help and Advice / Memory card download

« on: July 21, 2019, 05:39:22 PM »

Hi

Just recently, my camera memory card which I have always read via the Windows Explorer on my computer now automatically downloads every image into Dropbox (well, until it reaches my data limit) then I can use the Explorer.

Any ideas on how to stop this, reset some options or something?
Its very annoying

Regards

Bob
