Edit and improve photos

You may find that you have some photos which are the wrong way up. It is easy to rotate photos so that they're the right way up again.

Resizing photos

You can resize photos which are too big. If you have a photo which has a large file size, resizing it will also reduce the file size.

You can make your own CDs by <emphasis>burning</emphasis> files onto a blank disc using the <emphasis>CD Writer Drive</emphasis> of your computer.
