I downloaded pictures from my camera. When I opened them, they open in paint.

How to change how to open them?

Hello KarenStory,

You can change the program that opens files of the default Configuration of programs option in the control panel.

1. open Control Panel.

2. click on the default programs icon.

3. in the default programs window, click the "set your default programs" link.

4. in the default programs window, scroll down until you get to the application you want to open with, for example, Photos or other photos photoediting application.

5. click on the application, that is, the Photo and in the next window, click on "select the default value for this program."

6. in the list that appears check next to all the files you want to open.

7. Once you have selected the files that you want the application to open, click on the "Save" button.

Either way, the default options for painting are .rle, .emf and .wmf files.

  • Suddenly, I am unable to download pictures from my camera

    I can't download pictures from my camera. I had no problem before. I tried to remove the SD card in the camera and direct download but still no response.

    If you have had any problems before, repair permissions, restart your computer and try again.  If this does not work, then buy a card reader.  You will get best results when they are still working.

    Millie, you can use paint dot net (see my previous answer) to clarify/change
    images. You will need to take the card out of the camera as you did before.

  • If I download pictures from the camera or device

    PART ONE:

    and save it in the downloads

    then open with "IPhoto".

    make changes minor changes IE, change the name of the file.

    export to

    Photo of Belinda finders - images...

    I can delete these old photos of downloads and Itunes, and those remaining in Finders - photos - will record of Belinda rest as is.

    SECOND PART

    If I have files of photos flies over from another computer and folders of pictures old - photos - Finders

    then open with "IPhoto".

    make minor changes, to change the name of the file,

    export to

    Photo of finders - pictures - Belinda

    Can I then delete the old folders of photos as well as those in iPhoto and just keep records of finders - pictures - Belinda.

    Do not use Photos or IPhotos save the place.

    Thank you

    Belinda

    Thank you

    Your workflow is not correct - not sure if you are just be sloppy in the descriptions or if you do not understand how iPhotoworks

    First of all what he 'downloads '? I guess that's the folder from the finder downloads

    You can not 'open' whatever whether with iPhoto - you must import photos into iPhoto

    It is not possible to change the name of any file in iPhoto - once imported a photo in iPhoto the file name can never be changed except by exporting form iPhoto in the finder

    Assuming that you have a default value (and highly recommended) managed library then there is no relationship between the original photo in the download folder of the finder and photos in iPhoto - and there is never any link between an exported photo and the photo in iPhoto

    And if you use iPhoto not to store your photos, then there is no reason to use it at all - just upload your photos and edit them with preview, items PhotosShop, Gimp or another editor - you simply present your difficult life involving iPhoto in the process at all

  • I downloaded pictures from my camera and now they are gone... where could they be?

    I just downloaded MOED photos my camera and now they are gone.  I've looked everywhere.  I do not remove them.  They moved from my camera as well.  What to do next?

    • How did you download them?
    • What is the extension of file for these photos? If you do not know, download a photo of test to find out.
    • Do a search for the file extension. Enter it in *.jpg or whatever the extension is.
    • As a last resort, you can search for photos with this tool.

  • MISSING DRIVER? CANNOT DOWNLOAD PICTURES FROM ARGUS CAMERA TO THE COMPUTER?

Pilot not return here?  Why! tried several times to download the pictures off the coast of Eastern Argus camera back again with driver not not here? what I've done wrong? where is he! Thank you! :(

    Hi Gurnett,

    This could be a problem with the installation of the software for camera Argus file or disk from which you try to install the software. Sometimes also due to the fact that you may need to install the driver with the software application for the camera to install the software from the disk does not install necessarily pilots.

    Please help me with the following information related to the issue:

    (1) what is the exact error that you receive when you try to download images?

    (2) do you use Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer 10 download photos?

    I suggest to download the latest drivers on the Argus website and install it on the computer. Check to see if that fixes the problem.

    You can check the link to do so:
