Answer 1

Depending on your camera model, software to transfer picture files might have been included in the packaging. If not, just do the following: Connect a firewire or usb cable from your computer to your camera. If you own a mac, a hard drive icon will show up on your desktop. Just drag the photo files out of that. If you own a pc, go into file explorer and find the partition that corresponds to your camera. The photos will be there.

Answer 2

You didn't tell us what kind of camera you have, so I'll have to cop out and say to read the manual about transferring images to the computer.

Or, do what I do.

If you get a card reader, no additional software is necessary. This is not only faster, but it saves your camera batteries. Your computer or printer may even have a card reader built into it. I have enough USB ports that I just leave it plugged in all the time.

First of all, be sure there are some pictures on the card. Plug the card reader into an open USB port. Plug the card into the appropriate slot on your card reader. I use Photoshop Elements and as soon as I plug my card into the reader, it starts its own card reader and displays a thumbnail of every picture on the card.

If this does not happen automatically, open your photo editing software. Do whatever you usually do to open a file, but click on the selector where you can change drives. Your card reader will be assigned a new drive name that will be one letter higher than you ever saw before, such as "Drive G:" or such. Then, just double click on the name of the file you want to open and it will appear in your photo editor.
