You're welcome Ned. I hope you get as much good out of it as I have. It's a wonderful and easy to use editor.

I'll warn you now though. When you see how well it works, none of your photos will be safe from Picasa's "fixings". HAHAHAHA

By some stretch of luck,most of my photos are pretty good without touching up.I played with some that the sun was wrong or were too dark.I can rotate the photos in "My Pictures"by using one of the choices below the pic after double clicking on the thumbnail.
Another thing-I never use the screen-ALWAYS use the viewfinder.

Well Gosh Ned. I'd think being in Alaska, with your beautiful scenery, you WOULD have beautiful photos without tweaking them. You're lucky to live there. Some folks just have the knack for taking great photos. And then there are others, like me...

I've done the rotating with the Windows Viewfinder also. I've never tried to rotate them on the camera itself. I try to do everything I can to conserve my batteries because I do use the LCD Screen on my camera. My eyes aren't what they used to be and the main reason I bought that Sony was because of the size of it's screen. Those little screen was one of the things that made me hesitate to buy a digital camera for so long. Now that I have digital, I have so many more and better photos than I used to have when I had to get film developed.
