Hello Piper
Nice to meet you :)
 
-> It sounds like this person's daughter used the camera before she gave it to her
-> mom... 

Yes, it does, doesn't it 

 My digital camera came with software for downloading the pictures. 
-> It's a really easy program to use too. 

Mine did too, and I never had any trouble using it, but I've found other
ways now, that are much faster.  I've got a SanDisk reader.  It's as simple
as dragging and dropping the files from the camera flash card to the
computer.  If you don't have one yet, I'd really recommend it.  What used
to take several long minutes now happens instantaneously.

 -> I can change the way the pictures look
-> (cropping, color changes, red eye fix, etc) and save them to where ever I want
-> and so on.

I have PhotoShop for that.  It does all that, and more.  For instance,
recently I actually straightened my husband's tie in one photo, and
eliminated my own shadow in another.  You cannot tell that I did anything.
I do love this technology!!!

  -> As for your person who doesn't have a manual or software, I don't know... I
-> guess I'd look online and see what the manufacturer of the camera has to say
-> about it.

If she remembers to tell me what kind of camera it is, before I go to play
with her computer, I can look that up for her. She doesn't have an internet
connection there, while I'm a master searcher :)  If it exists online, I
can find it.

-> Good luck.  I hope you can answer her questions and make it work for her.

I'm sure I can.  I just think it's just amazing the types of things people
think to ask me to do for them.
