A participant from my class Teaching on the Internet asked this question today:

"I have a question - when you use a ditgital camera for pictures you want to put on a web site or in an email. How do you get them in a JPEG file? Or can? Do you need special software?"

In doing these assignments, I find pictures I have taken and want to use but am not sure how to get them in the right format. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Here was my reply:

Every digital camera comes with its own software to download and prepare pictures for the Internet, just follow the instructions in the manual that came with the camera.

You can also use a scanner to prepare you photos for the Internet.

Here are a couple of resources you can use that will grease the skids a bit.
