I am using PE3 and it allows the Adobe Downloader to kick in as soon as I connect my Canon camera. This causes the system to crash as my Canon ZoomBrowser starts at the same time. I prefer to use ZoomBrowser to

download

my photos, so how do I turn off the Adobe Downloader so that it will not kick in upon connection of my camera?
Many thanks.
Eos.

Eos,

jfitz gave you several options, and my question is: Are you using the camera to computer connection? Have you looked at using a card reader? Most Radio Shacks carry the Dazzle line, that have very good quality desktop designs, and are very stable camera memory card readers.

However there are many different inexpensive plastic case model that sell under ten dollars and are perfect companions for laptop computers, But you will quickly discover the plastic cased card readers were not designed for repetitive use, as the dazzle products.

If I understand correctly Canon's ZoomBrowser EX software downloads the images from the camera onto your computer. ZoomBrowser is also an image viewer, that will let you check out the camera settings stored in the images (Exif info), and do some processing of Canon's RAW file format.

ACDSee, Compupic, Thumbs Plus, are outstanding image viewers that display all info about the images.

I do not know if the free irfanview will provide the Exif information. -

A great one is the Exif Image Viewer by Michael Kowalski - it is very customizable, although it has a bit of a learning curve. http://home.pacbell.net/michal_k/exif_v.html

Or the fast - OK Exif Reader by Ryuuji Yoshimoto

For Raw processing you should look at the free Raw Shooter software that has taken the camera industry by a storm.. Windows only software - http://esd.element5.com/product.html?productid=300013536& ;languageid=1&cart=1&currencies=EUR,all&noquickb uy=1

But if you have a late model camera and a cannon printer - you have some good color options staying with their software
