How do insert a picture from my digital camera into an email?
Simple terms please. Thank you.

Hi Has,

Have you downloaded them onto your PC yet?

No, you see that's half the problem. I don't know how to. If you could explain, I would be most grateful !

Most modern digital cameras come supplied with a lead for connecting the camera to the USB port on your computer. Connecting this to camera & computer & THEN switching on the camera will (if the computer runs XP or later) automatically start a programme to download the pictures from your camera to the computer.
Various options are then offered of where to save the picture files ('My Pictures?')
Start it from there and ask again if everything isn't straightforward.

CHEERS
Happy New Year

OK. Do you have a USB cable and a disc? These should have come with your camera.

Once you connect the cable into a little port (usually at the front of your computer) and put the disc in it should come up on the bottom right hand corner. Right click, then open and follow the instructions.

Thank you Tinker,Wales most appreciated.

Thanks also to you tiggerblue10. I'm sorry for being so dense, I have a cable that came with the camera, but no disc. What is this?

[tiggerblue10]

If you don't have a disc don't worry. Just do what Tinker says.

Go to My Computer >

All your 'drives' are here.

Your camera plugged in counts like a hard drive.

It wont be C:\ D:\ or E:\ it will probably have some name. Dble click and look in the folders, the pics should be there.

I find the easiest method is to download Picasa2. It`s free and all you do is insert the cable supplied with your camera into the only port it fits at the front of the camera, switch the camera to play(vcr) and the camera should tell you what to do next. You will of course have to tell Picasa the model of your camera see all your pictures appear on the PC screen. But it`s easy from then on. If I can do it anybody can, believe me. I hope this helps. Also with Picasa remember to save your pictures to `My Pictures` I have fun with `cropping` &`tinting` photo`s.
