In This Chapter

Viewing photos in your Pictures library
Saving digital photos to a CD
E-mailing and printing photos
Editing photos with Windows Live Photo Gallery
Copying camcorder footage into your computer

Editing your video into a movie and saving it to a DVD
This chapter introduces you to the ever-growing relationship between Windows, digital cameras, and camcorders — both the new digital and older analog models. This chapter explains how to move your digital photos and movies onto your computer, edit out the bad parts, display them to friends and family, e-mail them to distant relatives, and save them in easy-to-find locations on your computer.
