So, you’ve been on an overseas holiday and taken dozens of photographs of the numerous sights you’ve seen and some of the people you’ve met. Now that you’re back home, you decide to copy them from your camera’s storage card to your computer.

There are several ways you can do this and almost every camera comes with a CD containing a software program that helps you manage your images. They do a variety of things such as letting you get rid of red eye, reduce the size, lighten and darken contrast, create fancy edges, and much more depending on the program.

Most digital cameras come complete with a small cable that has a USB connection on one end and a special connector on the other end that connects to your camera. There are different sizes and varieties of these connections depending on your camera make and type, but the one you have should connect to your camera and, as USB ports are relatively standard, will usually connect to your PC.

When you’ve loaded and fire up the software program provided with your camera, it will “find” the USB/Camera connection and offer you a dialogue box with several options. One will be to download the images from your camera to your computer. You usually need to keep your camera switched on when you download these images. With a large number of images, the time it takes can deplete your batteries, but you can overcome this problem if you have a connection between your household electricity supply and the camera so that the battery is bypassed.

A better option for you to consider is to buy a card reader. These allow you to take the storage (memory) card from your camera and slide it into a slot in the reader. You then connect the reader to the computer and download from the card instead of directly from the camera. This has several advantages.

Advantages include, you don’t need to use your camera to effect the file transfer. It’s quick and you can stick multiple cards into the reader ie, if you have five storage cards, you can use the card reader to successively read and download from every card. Also, if your software program is properly configured, after download, you can delete the original files on the cards saving you the task of doing it later.

Card readers come in three formats. A multiple card reader, as the name suggests, has multiple slots to take different size cards. This is useful if you have cameras with different size cards, but is of no real benefit if you only use one size card. So you can buy a card reader with one slot for the card size you have, buy a multiple card reader, or the final option is a device like a USB memory stick that has a slot in it for a memory card. The latter are useful for travelling as they take up little space and don’t require a USB cable as they connect directly to your computer.

All of these reading devices are fairly inexpensive and are a great asset to assist you downloading your photographic images to your computer. Unfortunately, they don’t work with the internal memory of your camera for which you still need to use the camera to computer connection cable.

There are many types of digital photo printers available that are made especially for printing photographs. They come in many sizes; many of them are small enough to be carried along with your camera so that you can print photos whenever you need them. Several of these, which include portable printers, connect to your digital camera. This means a computer is no longer needed to print photographs. Some have special slots for a digital media cards. This means you can just detach the card from your camera and attach it directly into the printer. With these printers, you get photos immediately. However these come at a cost. More expensive than normal inkjet printers, they begin at $150 and go up to $300 to $500. At the higher end are the professional ones.

The more expensive are essentially inkjet printers, with six color cartridges. A few use the thermal dye or dye sublimation technology, which melts ink “crayons” onto the pages. While they provide high quality, they are only good for photo printing. Today, color lasers are also used, though they are not as popular. The desktop color lasers are not as good, though they have improved. They are cheaper, and it is possible to get monochrome lasers. Dell offers monochrome Printer 1100; it is also below $100. Scanners available for photographers have add-ons that that allow scanning of film and negatives.

There are few ways you can get more out of your photo printer. Fine-tune to the highest resolution when you want to print the pictures. The picture that is to be printed should not be saved as JPEGs or in any other compressed file format; save the original instead because this will help you get a better picture. You can improve upon the picture that has been taken; if you are taking a test print, decrease image size and load the printer with plain, $2-a-ream paper. Check out the printer software as it may allow printing of many images on one sheet.

Matte-finish photo cards can be used instead of glossy photo paper when printing 4-by-6-inch images. These have a better finish and are cheaper. Some printers like the Canon’s i960 printer have a superior color palette. You can install this in your printer if you are not happy with the current printing quality.

If you are printing black and white photos, you could use the color mode and you will get a better finish. Remember to keep the nozzle clear because they may get blocked if they are not used. You could call a professional or use a kit costing about $15. Some printers stay clean if turned on and off once a week.

Some of the best digital photo printers now available are Kodak Professional 9810 Digital Photo Printer, Epson Stylus Pro 4000, Canon Pixma iP8500 Photo Printer, Canon Selphy DS700 Photo Printer, Epson PictureMate Deluxe Viewer Edition, and Sony PictureStation DPP-FP30. Check out the one that suits you best.
