MacBook Pro Questions - Photos/Emails

Julz2586

Ok... so i got a new macbook on the weekend... i was able to upload photos from my camera to my laptop, that was great.

Instead of viewing the photos in iphoto is there another way? If so... how?
AND because Mac doesn't have "paint" is there something else that is used? do i have to download it from the app store??

Also.... I thought maybe i would email the photos and send it to my mums computer and just do it that way BUT i have some how messed up the email settings in iphotos... How do i delete email accounts from the computer?

You can view all of your photos/documents/everything in your "Finder". It's the little icon on your dock that looks like a blue smiling face (one side darker, one side lighter).
As for paint, as far as i know, you have to get it from the app store. I might be wrong, though!
Email accounts: to delete/add, open your mail, then at the top of your screen click "Mail" then "Preferences"!

I hope that helped!

If you're looking for a good paint program, then look at http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/ - it's free. If you've upgraded to Mountain Lion, then you will also need to install XQuartz - http://xquartz.macosforge.org/downloads/SL/XQuartz-2.7.2.dmg

I use Photoshop Elements 10 to edit my photos, and also to store and view photos... but it is software you have to buy and install, but as photography is my serious hobby it is worth it for me.

When you open pictures in the preview (usually does that automatically when you double click a file name), there are a couple ways to edit it, i.e. crop them or add text. It's not really anything like paint but it's enough for me.
