Of course, if you want to tweak images, Photoshop 6 is the best. Abobe Photo Elements is 1st runner up. If you just want to view images, GraphicConverter (Mac OS) is great as it can open almost any graphic file format and play slide shows from folders. It's shareware so its cheap. If you're really thrifty, you could use the QuickTime Picture Viewer (Winblows & Mac) for singles.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been using Photoshop5.5 and it's great! What I meant was I need a software to upload images from my coolpix to PC. I called Nikon and they are charging me $20 to burn the CD and send it to me. They've told me it will take up to 10days. No download, (just update software for people who already have the software) what a service, what's the point of having nikon home page! Would appreciate your suggestion.

  Hmmm, that's a bitch. I never used their software. Consider getting a card reader. They run about $50. Plug in your memory card and it looks like a removeable drive. Copying is very fast.

    You might look into Photoshop LE if you don't need the whole thing.
    It's much cheaper.

      I use Corel Photopaint because I have it. It scales, flips and colors in red eye. What else do you need? I still like ACDSee as a viewer only package. It's very quick.

        Photoslop LE seems to have a better JPEG encoder to me, as well as a lot of other useful things, like unsharp mask after bilinear shrink, etc.
        Corel PP is one of the other programs mentioned as not so bad. I tried it, and didn't like it, but there are worse, I found myself with free copies of about 4. I'd name them, if I could find the coasters that they came with :)

        Oh, agree, it's not the best, but for my scale and crop for the web once a month, it works. Actually, I think I've got LE around here somewhere and there's a shareware thing that's awfully good. OTOH, I find that learning new ones as often as I use them is more trouble that I care to undertake.

        Any of them is a pain.
        Pure and simple. Each has its little "tricks".
