Call me a little Naive when it comes to Uploading pics but this would be my
first time.
Would MGI Photosuite II be the kind of Image Editing program I would need? The
strange thing is that when the pics are on my Camera they are actually JPEG and
once they are downloaded to MGI they automatically turn into Bitmap??? I cant
find anywhere in MGI where I can change this. Is there a better program to use?
What program do you use?
The one reason I know it is not my ISP is because I use Bigpond Broadband, I
know they are a little slow on the Upload, but should still be a little quicker
than Dial-Up.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...........
Thank you,
Dave
