I don't have a very high opinion of the software bundled with most digital cameras, but there are a few standouts. One of them is Kodak's Easyshare application. The program is fun, easy to use and can meet the organizational and editing needs of many shutterbugs. Kodak announced today a new Windows XP version of the software, release 6.4. According to the company, new features in the program allow you to

• Access photos stored in collections faster.


• transfer large files from cameras quicker.


• Enhance batches of photos in seconds.


• Receive automatic notices of software updates.

The new version of Easyshare is available for free from the Kodak web site.
