Windows 8 users...

joz*garage — Wed, 25 Sep 2013 09:57:59 GMT

is there a good photo program for this OS that i can edit pictures on?

(picasa is not compatible)

or is there already one that comes with the OS? and would i need to sign-up to the built-in microsoft account to access it?

(& i know theres an email account available but im still using web-mail)

we buy old computers with XP on them as we don't feel like hassling around with a bleep operating system.

good luck and have fun 😛

Joz, Vista was a creation of the Devil. It sent many a computer techo to the loony bin and from there to an early grave.

There are a couple of operating systems that fall into that category, Millenium and now windows 8.

I've used PhotoScape for a number of years and it's a freebie.

It's basic but a lot of good features. I usually use it to fix my ebay listing photos.

photoscape and fotor are compatible!

thx joono

The annoying thing about win8 is the stupid way it expects you to be logged in for everything and anything but you get used to that in the end.

I don't know about it's camera interface. I've been using phone camera for ages and I've set that to auto upload to dropbox and have my comp devices set to auto download from dropbox. So all my photos end up in the clouds via dropbox and on the computers as well, instantly.

Sorry, can't help with that question. The win8 apps functions are quite strange to get used to 😄

Most of my programs still operate through the desktop view 😄

joz*garage — Thu, 26 Sep 2013 18:44:21 GMT

yes i operate W8 through the desk top too freakie

well i didnt bother signing up with the mircosoft account - went back to using picasa3, seems to be working fine too and its so easy to import photos from your camera

Hey joz - Malwarebytes works on W8 now.
