September 21, 200619 yr Hi there guys, Ok...so recently I went to Wales, blah-blah...took hundreds of photos on my mum's camera, an 'Olympic optical digital' camera. What did I do when I got back? Surprise, surprise! I plugged it into my PC, uploaded, et cetera, et cetera... So, they're just little icons in my Pictures file. I can't view them in any way at all. I've tried opening them in Paint, onto imageshack, emailing them...nothing works. I just cannot access these pictures! When I attempt to open them with MS Paint, I get this message; Paint cannot read this file. This is not a valid bitmap file, or its format is not currently supported. Ok, so I know NOTHING about computers (ok, not true...I've got the hang of the basics...I HOPE!) So, if anyone out there could possibly help me with this little problem, I'd be eternally grateful! Thankyooooooooooooou! Issy.# PS. In simple English, please. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: [/code]
September 21, 200619 yr What file extension are they? Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.
September 21, 200619 yr (that's the .png, .jpeg, .bmt, ect, if i want to be extreme incase ye dont know...I expect you do but just incase, it's most important to know that information)
September 22, 200619 yr Did you save them in RAW format?

September 22, 200619 yr Author Lol yes I know about file extensions, sorry about lack of details...Howdo I find out about which file extension they are? Sorry lol I'm such a prat with computers...
September 23, 200619 yr if there was any software that came with the camera, make sure to use that. It could be that they are still encrypted / compressed. ...
October 1, 200619 yr Any why would a digital camera encrypt its files...? Never trust anyone. You are always alone, and betrayal is inevitable.Nothing is safe from the jaws of the decompiler.
October 2, 200619 yr Any why would a digital camera encrypt its files...? camera's encrypt and compress files to save space on the camera (since you want to be able to get as many pictures on it as you can) and to force you to use their software. Well how do they benefit by making you use their software? They probably don't, but when it comes to techsupport it makes their job a lot easier. Encrypt doesn't always have to mean uber-anti-hackage-password-mixerupper... If you have more questions maybe you should ask the people who make camera's with encrypted pictures or go to their tech support, not me. If you what you meant was "camera's don't encrypt files" (which is the vibe I'm getting) then errrnnt, wrong. Now leave me alone. ...
