And to do your editing, you don't need to re- download photos - after you transfer photos to your computer, you can access them from any program, just as you can any file that you put on your system. KBEff Before you move on, though, I want to clear up one common point of confusion: You can use Canon's software to download and organize your photos and still use any photo editing software you prefer. The next sections give you the most basic of introductions to ZoomBrowser EX/ImageBrowser, which, in the interest of saving type, I may refer to from here on in as just 'the browser.' If you want more details, the CD that ships with the program offers a very good online manual.
Although you can view thumbnails of your images in Digital Photo Professional, that tool is designed for advanced users, so I don't cover it in this book. In this section, you can find out how to organize your photos using the ZoomBrowser EX/ImageBrowser tool.
In addition to the aforementioned software tools, your Canon CD contains two additional programs: ZoomBrowser EX (Windows) or ImageBrowser (Mac), plus Digital Photo Professional.
