Help with Basic Windows Tasks

Sometimes the biggest obstacle to success for new digital photographers is their computer skills. It is easy to take photographs but it can seem daunting to manage those new files if your basic Windows skills aren't quite there.

At minimum, you should feel comfortable:

- Viewing files
- Finding files
- Naming and Renaming files
- Copying files from one drive or folder to another
- Organizing files

But what if you can’t do these things?


YouTube to the Rescue!

Launch your browser and go to http://www.youtube.com. Search for "expertvillage computer skills”. This search will lead you to a collection of instructor-lead tutorials on Windows basics. Here are two direct links but there are many more.
